    Abstract Since natural-origin, sustainable ingredients are preferred by modern consumers, novel emulsifiers and emollients keep entering the market. This study hypothesizes that a combination of in silico, instrumental tools and simplified sensory studies could be used to efficiently characterize emulsions in a shorter timeframe. A total of 22 rather simple o/w emulsions were prepared by a time/energy-saving emulsification process. A natural mixed emulsifier (Lauryl Glucoside/Myristyl Glucoside/Polyglyceryl-6 Laurate) and two emollients (both with INCI name C15-19 Alkane) were used. The performed D-optimal experimental design within the response surface method (RSM) significantly narrowed down the number of samples about to enter the stage of texture, friction and sensory studies to the samples comprising 30% of a respective Emogreen emollient and 2% or 3% of the emulsifier. The sample comprising 2% emulsifier/30% Emogreen

    Abstract The aim of our study was to compare socio-demographic characteristics of vocal fold nodules, polyps and oedema. The study included patients diagnosed for the first time with vocal fold nodules, polyps and oedema at the Communication Disorders Care Center of Clinic for Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery in Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade. Diagnosis was made on the basis of symptoms, clinical otorhinolaryngological and phoniatric examination and endovideolaryngostroboscopic findings. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the following data: socio-demographic status, exposure to occupational noise and air pollution, occupational voice demands, health habits, symptoms of the present voice problems and voice problems in the family. By multivariate logistic regression analyses, nodules and oedema were more frequent in women than men in comparison with polyps (p < 0.001). Patients with nodules and polyps were younger than those with oedema (p < 0.001). Patients with nodules were more frequently lecturers, singers and actors compared with polyp patients (p = 0.006), had occupational voice demands more frequently than patients with oedema (p = 0.037) and were less frequently smokers than patients with polyps (p = 0.043) and those with oedema (p < 0.001). Patients with oedema were more frequently current smokers than patients with nodules and those with polyps (p < 0.001). Hoarseness as the main symptom was more frequent among patients with nodules than among patients with polyps (p = 0.040) and those with oedema (p = 0.001).Voice problems in the family was more frequently reported by oedema patients than by patients with polyps (p = 0.005). These findings are in agreement with majority of previous studies and may be of help in investigations on the aetiology of the disease.

    Abstract Background: The Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) is used in clinics because of its validity and ease of use by patients.
    Objectives: The aim of this paper was to evaluate the internal consistency, reliability, and clinical validity of the Serbian version of the VHI-10.
    Method: In this cross-sectional study, we translated the original English version of the VHI-10 into Serbian, after which it was back-translated into English. The Serbian version of the VHI-10 was completed by 161 patients with voice disorders, divided into 4 groups according disease etiology (structural, neurological, functional, and inflammatory) and 73 healthy control subjects.
    Results: The VHI-10 internal consistency was 0.88. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for VHI-10 test-retest reliability was ρ = 0.991 (p< 0.001). Patients with voice disorders had higher median total VHI-10 scores compared with controls (p< 0.001). The patients' Grade, Instability, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, and Strain (GIRBAS) scale scores were significantly correlated with the VHI-10 test scores (ρ = 0,682, p < 0.001) and VHI-10 retest scores (ρ = 0.716, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The Serbian version of the VHI-10 had good validity and reliability and can be used by Serbian patients with voice disorders.

    Abstract Purpose: Laser transoral laryngeal microsurgery has become widely accepted treatment method because of its organ and function preservation and shorter period of hospitalization. The aim of this study was to examine the overall, disease-specific and disease-free survival in patients with early laryngeal carcinoma treated with laser depending on age, gender, common risk factors (tobacco and alcohol use), histopathological tumor grade, anterior commissure involvement, performed tracheotomy, positive surgical margins, T stage, type of endoscopic cordectomy, postoperative radiotherapy and laryngeal preservation.
    Methods: Retrospective study included 234 patients with squamocellular carcinoma of the larynx treated with laser transoral laryngeal microsurgery. 5-year overall, disease-specific and disease-free survival and the prognostic impact of mentioned factors were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard analyses.
    Results: 5-year OS and DSS was 92.5% and 95.3%, respectively. OS was significantly lower for older patients and in patients with histologically poorly differentiated tumors, 3 and 5 years postoperatively (Log rank test; p = 0.031). DSS was significantly lower in patients with anterior commissure involvement, positive surgical margins and patients who underwent postoperative RT. DFS was significantly lower in patients with anterior commissure involvement, patients with T1b tumor stage and patients who underwent cordectomies type Vb and VI (Log rank, p < 0.05). Laryngeal preservation significantly influenced 5-year OS, DSS and DFS (Log rank, p ≤ 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, histological tumor grade and laryngeal preservation were significant negative prognostic factors for 5-year DSS and DFS.
    Conclusion: Transoral laryngeal microsurgery delivers excellent oncological results, even in selected patients with higher stages of early laryngeal cancer and anterior commissure involvement.

    Abstract Vocal fold mass removal techniques were significantly modified back in 1970s by Hirano's laminar vocal structure and physiology of phonation works, as well as Titze's vibratory vocal cycle works. New methods were to come. Removing the lession by maximum preservation of vocal laminar microstructure (lamina propria and epithelium) and minimal damage of surrounding normal vocal tissue, was pointed out. Microflap technique is based on presenting the superficial layer of lamina propria with the lesion and removing the lession without damage of the mucosa. Preserving of the mucosal layer provides the shield for vibratory substructures. There are two elementary approaches for microflap: lateral and medial. Lateral microflap technique enables better identification of vocal ligament and lowers the risk of it's injury, particulary when scars and tightly adherent lessions are present. This technique has been used in case of big or diffuse lesions, such as vocal oedema or vocal lygament identification difficulties (e.g. vocal scarification). Medial microflap technique seems to be appropriate in removing smaller, localised lessions, such as cysts and vocal polyps. Our 45 patients experience is presented in this article, in 30 patients lessions were removed by lateral microflap technique (46 vocal cords in total), while 15 patients were treated by medial microflap technique. The outcome was assumed by endovideolaryngostroboscopic analysis of glottal occlussion and mucosal wave prior and following to the procedure. Reinke oedema management results were analysed separately.

    Title translation Effect of the extents of surgical resection in total laryngectomy on esophageal voice and speech rehabilitation.
    Abstract The study of functional results of total laryngectomy cannot be separated from articulation of esophageal voice and speech. To achieve success of phoniatric rehabilitation in laringectomized patients, it is necessary to be well aware of pathological sequelae of the very operation, long-term adverse effect of oncological risk factors as well as postoperative anatomo-physiological changes. Anatomic results of total laryngectomy depend on the type of surgical intervention and probable radiotherapy. The extent of surgical procedure, primary dictated by oncological indications, has the essential effect to articulation of esophageal voice and speech. If possible for oncological reasons, hyoid bone should be particularly left intact. Extensive surgical interventions of hypopharynx and the base of the tongue during laryngectomy, neck dissection--especially the radical one, and subsequent radiotherapy, all of them significantly reduce the possibility to produce esophageal voice and speech. Total laryngectomy eliminates the creator of voice and vibrations, which are acoustically perceived as esophageal voice, proceeding at the level of pharyngoesophageal junction. For this reason, the quality of newly created vibrating narrowing is especially important.

    Abstract Vocal fold pathology changes the appearance and vibratory patterns observed during stroboscopic examination, but a strict correlation between the vibratory pattern and the dysplasia type does not exist. The aims of this study were to determine the role of stroboscopy in vocal fold dysplasia assessment and to determine whether stroboscopy is the deciding factor when performing laryngomicroscopy with biopsy in suspicious lesions. This prospective controlled study involved 112 patients with laryngeal dysplasia treated over a 2-year period at a tertiary medical center. Patient data and clinical, stroboscopy, laryngomicroscopy, and histopathologic reports were reviewed. During the stroboscopy, glottic occlusion, phase symmetry, periodicity, amplitude, mucosal wave, and nonvibratory segments were followed. Laryngomicroscopy with different types of endoscopic cordectomies (types I-III) was performed as a therapeutic measure, with a 12-month follow-up period. Nonvibrating segments were present in 15.1% of the patients with mild dysplasia and in 38.5% of the patients with moderate dysplasia. In 45.5% of the patients with severe dysplasia (carcinoma in situ), nonvibrating segments were absent. The amplitude of vocal fold vibrations in patients with mild dysplasia (P=0.03) was a significant factor indicative of recurrent disease, but none of the stroboscopic signs was significant for the disease progression. Severe dysplasia can be related to both nonvibrating and vibrating vocal fold segments. Stroboscopy cannot be used reliably for classifying laryngeal dysplasia and may indicate the need to perform laryngomicroscopy with biopsy in suspicious vocal fold lesions. The warning factors for recurrence and progression of dysplasia are treatment modality, abnormal amplitude of vibration, and nonvibrating segment.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to examine functional capacity of cardio-respiratory system in patients with schizophrenia, and to evaluate the effects of 12 weeks prescribed physical activity on aerobic capacity and symptoms of schizophrenia.
    Subjects and methods: Study involved 80 hospitalized patients with any of the subtypes of schizophrenia (42 men, 38 women). They were divided into two groups: exercise and control group, both with 40 patients. Maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max) as an indicator of cardiovascular fitness has been obtained by cardiopulmonary stress test on a treadmill. Twelve weeks program of prescribed physical activity (45 minutes, four times per week) was made for every patient individually. Patients in exercise group practiced in training zone between 65 and 75% of their maximum heart rate (HR). Target HR was controlled by Polar F4 monitors. Symptoms of schizophrenia were measured by using Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS).
    Results: Before the exercise program was introduced, measured VO2 max was significantly lower in patients with schizophrenia, than the expected average value in matched healthy subjects (p<0.001). After twelve weeks, patients in exercise group showed a significant increase of VO2max (p=0.002), and significantly higher level of VO2max compared to the control group (p=0.000). Significant differences were also observed on PANSS general psychopathology subscale (p=0.007) and on PANSS total score (p=0.001). The pharmacotherapy and exercise had influence on PANSS general psychopathology (p=0.002) and PANSS total score (p=0.001).
    Conclusions: Individuals with schizophrenia have lower levels of aerobic capacity compared to general population. Prescribed physical activity significantly improves aerobic capacity in people with schizophrenia and it is effective in amelioration of some psychiatric symptoms. Prescribed physical activity could be an effective adjunctive treatment for patients with schizophrenia, not only for prevention and treatment of comorbidities, but also having an impact on symptoms of schizophrenia.
