Acoustic analyses were carried out on vocal vibrato produced by nine opera singers and vocal tremor accompanying the sustained phonation of patients with the following diagnoses: Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, essential tremor, and adductor spastic dysphonia. While vocal tremor on average had a faster oscillatory rate and greater amplitude extent when compared to vocal vibrato, only the cycle to cycle measures of shimmer and jitter differed significantly between these groups. However, these differences existed even when the effect of the oscillation was removed. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that vocal vibrato in singers and vocal tremor in patients may be part of the same continuum. 相似文献

This study documents the vocal characteristics of an actor before and after a series of eight performances involving extended voice use. The hypothesis was that this type of extended voice use would result in symptoms of vocal abuse and that damage to the actor's voice would be evident in measures made after the performance series. Three pre-performance and three post-performance speech samples were gathered and analyzed using the CSL and Visipitch II. Measurements taken included maximum phonational range; maximum sustained phonation; fundamental frequency during reading; maximum intensity levels; sound pressure levels for soft, moderate, and loud productions of sustained /a/; and perturbation including jitter, shimmer, harmonics-to-noise ratio, and an s/z ratio. Pre- and post-performance samples of the “Rainbow passage” and sustained vowel phonation were rated by a group of blinded listeners that included professional voice trainers and speech pathologists. In addition, sample lines from the performance were played for the listeners to judge whether this technique would result in symptoms of vocal abuse. Eleven out of 12 professional voice trainers rated that this technique would result in symptoms of vocal abuse. The data revealed post-performance improvement in phonational range, maximum intensity levels, perturbation measures, and s/z ratio. Measures of maximum sustained phonation, fundamental frequency, and sound pressure levels remained stable. Videoendoscopy revealed normal function of the larynx and vocal folds. 相似文献

6‐Bromoindigo (MBI) [systematic name: 6‐bromo‐2‐(3‐oxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indol‐2‐ylidene)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indol‐3‐one], C16H9BrN2O2, crystallizes with one disordered molecule in the asymmetric unit about a pseudo‐inversion center, as shown by the Br‐atom disorder of 0.682 (3):0.318 (3). The 18 indigo ring atoms occupy two sites which are displaced by 0.34 Å from each other as a result of this packing disorder. This difference in occupancy factors results in each atom in the reported model used to represent the two disordered sites being 0.08 Å from the higher‐occupancy site and 0.26 Å from the lower‐occupancy site. Thus, as a result of the disorder, the C—Br bond lengths in the disordered components are 0.08 and 0.26 Å shorter than those found in 6,6′‐dibromoindigo (DBI) [Süsse & Krampe (1979). Naturwissenschaften, 66 , 110], although the distances within the indigo ring are similar to those found in DBI. The crystals are also twinned by merohedry. Stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds are similar to those found in the structures of indigo and DBI. In MBI, an interaction of the type C—Br...C replaces the C—Br...Br interactions found in DBI. The interactions in MBI were calculated quantum mechanically using density functional theory and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules. 相似文献

A classical vocal exercise called "messa di voce" (Italian for "placing the voice") was used to study the symmetry of intensity increase and decrease in six trained singers. Ideally, the exercise is performed as a symmetric triangle, a linear increase in loudness, followed by a linear decrease. Given that some physiologic variables, like lung volume, undergo unidirectional change rather than a symmetric reversal, there is reason to believe that symmetries may not exist. It was found that highly trained singers who use large SPL ranges tend to abbreviate the decrescendo phase in comparison with the crescendo phase. In a few other cases, a plateau in SPL is reached, but an increase in loudness may still be perceived on the basis of a stronger vibrato or changes in timbre. 相似文献

Although pyrroles have been synthesized from azido dienes, the corresponding reactions of structurally similar nitrodienes had not been investigated until it became the main focus of this study. This article describes the synthesis of several biologically active pyrroles and mechanistically intriguing results in connection with our new approach using nitrodienes in the presence of Ph3P and a Mo catalyst, bis (acetylaceto)dioxomolybdenum (VI). The final precursor of pentabromopseudilin (PBP), pseudilin, was synthesized in four steps from o-hydroxycinnamaldehyde. An alternate pathway to PBP proceeded through o-methylpseudilin, prepared in two steps from o-methoxycinnamaldehyde. Both starting materials are commercially available. Similarly, bimetopyrol (2-methyl-4,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)pyrrole), a potent anti-inflammatory, was prepared using the new methodology. The remarkable conversion of nitrodienes 14 and 15 to bimetopyrol highlights the formation of a nitroso or nitrene intermediate. We also established that 14 and 15 interconvert in the presence of ambient light and each converts to bimetopyrol when reacted separately. The wide application of our synthetic methodology includes preparation of several antitubercular and Herpes Simplex 2 (HSV2) agents. 相似文献

Perceptual ratings of hoarseness and breathiness were used to assess the efficacy of two intensive methods for treating dysarthrophonia in individuals with idiopathic Parkinson disease. One method emphasized phonatory-respiratory effort (the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment, LSVT®) and the other emphasized respiratory effort alone (RET). Perceptual ratings were performed by two expert listeners based on random order presentation of the patients' pretreatment and posttreatment recordings of the “Rainbow Passage.” The listeners were blinded to the patients and their treatment group. Statistically significant pretreatment to posttreatment improvement in hoarseness and breathiness was observed in the LSVT® group but not in the RET group. The present findings are consistent with acoustic and physiologic findings reported previously, providing further evidence for the efficacy of the LSVT®. 相似文献

Though the Cadogan-Sundberg approach has been employed to synthesize a variety of indole and carbazole derivatives from nitroarenes, surprisingly, very little is reported for making pyrroles using the same approach from non-arene nitrodienes. Herein, we report a general method to synthesize substituted pyrroles, in one step with modest yields, from nitrodienes using triphenylphosphine in the presence of an Mo catalyst, bis(acetylaceto)dioxomolybdenum (VI). To shed light on the mechanism of this reaction, we performed DFT calculations using uB3LYP/6-31+G(d) basis set and observed that the reaction favors a path through a nitrene intermediate. 相似文献

Patients with specific neural subsystem involvement are often reported to present with particular perceptual characteristics of voice. This has been true for diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive disease in which mixed neurologic signs are present. This article reports acoustic data on the phonatory performance of four women diagnosed with ALS who had initial bulbar signs and progressive phonatory deterioration. The data presented here demonstrate that the phonatory characteristics of women with ALS are not uniform, but in fact may vary greatly from patient to patient. 相似文献
