The extensive reference is primarily for physicians but also speech-language pathologists, singing and acting voice specialists, nurses, voice teachers, performers, and others interested in the
human voice in performance. The three volumes focus in turn on basic science and clinical assessment, nonsurgical management, and surgical management and special considerations. Nonsurgical
management includes disorders managed commonly without voice surgery, neurological disorders affecting the voice, medications, and voice therapy and treatment. Individual chapters consider such
topics as laryngeal embryology and vocal development, laryngeal computed tomography, pyrotechnics in the entertainment industry, cancer chemotherapy: an overview and voice implications, the
history and development of phono-microsurgery, managing gender-reassigned patients, and the academic practice of medicine. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
