I just found ur channel after I went through a huge MICRO nervous breakdown 😅 .. most of ur RU-vids will help me .. THANK U DOCTOR VERY MUCH ..and if u don't mind can u make a video about oral flora because am confused between those many classifications 😊😊 anyway.. GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE
I had anaphylaxis Aug 2018. I had a persistent cough for 3.5 years, breathing was a problem exhaling for 3.5 years, I was treated with inhalers, I had 6 episodes of total voice loss lasting between 6 & 15 weeks. I saw a GP who was an ENT in the UK for 30 years. He said I had "repetitive laryngeal nerve paralysis" caused from forced intubation, he didn't know my history of anaphylaxis which put me on life support. I also have a tumour in the 4th ventricle, operated on 5 months after anaphylaxis where I had kidney & respiratory failure. The surgery was a failure, they "dug around as much as we could but due to your anatomy changing, we couldn't locate the lesion. After being referred within the hospital to ENT, went to ED when having trouble breathing, camera showed vocal chords almost permanently closed & not moving when trying to make sound. Steroids is what brought my voice back. The drs in ENT laughed when I told the the paralysis diagnosis, the male dr said "there is no nerve in the voice box." I am truly fed up with these drs, this video certainly demonstrates there are nerves!!! Any idea what I can do?
Armando..Thank you very much for making these videos.. Can you please make a video on Primary TB, Secondary TB, Miliary TB and their comparison...Thanks a lot !
I am not a doctor or study stuff like that but i was like how hard could it get? And here i am quitting after 2 minutes 57 seconds I like the way of explanation despite the fact that my brain can’t process all this data.
There are several components to learning human anatomy. One resource I found that successfully combines these is the Sebs Study Crammer (check it out on google) without a doubt the no.1 info that I have ever heard of. Check out this interesting website.
Armando, speaking on the nervous system, have you done any videos on proprioception? It would be interesting to see the structural differences between sensory neurons and which pathways they follow to the brain
funny enough, this condition is the reason my gma went to the dr and found out she had lung cancer. her vocal cord paralysis had nothing to do with her cancer, but because of it, we found it. she had about a 10% chance to get rid of the cancer, and she did, at 72! she has been cancer-free for three years, and while the one fold is still paralysed, she's getting a non-surgical procedure done to kind of inflate it so she can have a voice again. I came here to try to find the name of the procedure, but it wasn't talked about. I learned a lot, so that's okay :)
@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo. The procedure is called a bulk injection into the affected vocal cord. My procedure was performed in a hospital operating room. I was sedated during the procedure & had a breathing tube. My head and neck surgeon inserted a small scope into my esophagus and injected a collagen-like filler into my paralyzed left vocal cord. The substance inflated my vocal cord, so that it was able to come closer to meeting my right vocal cord. The procedure lasted about 30 minutes. I was able to be driven home the same day. It significantly improved my ability to speak and swallow without choking for a while. Last month, I had my second bulk injection procedure. I am still in my healing phase. If this bulk injection doesn’t last, I may look into another surgery, known as medialization laryngoplasty. Rather than using a bulk injection to reposition the damaged vocal cord, a larynx implant is used. My left laryngeal nerve was damaged, due to thyroid cancer. My surgeon had to cut the left laryngeal nerve to get all the cancer. Hope this information is helpful.
@@mwilso5 she refused to have surgery again, then was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer unrelated to her lung cancer, and while she did get surgery to remove the cancer, she's on chemo the rest of her life, so even if she wanted to, she couldn't have any more procedures done. But thank you for the info :)
My guess: If base etiology is trauma... less trauma = incomplete, more trauma = complete My guess: If base etiology is neurodegenerative, early progression = incomplete, later progression = complete My guess: If base etiology is iatrogenic, then this is similar to more/less trauma argument.
Only outgoing nerve activity is addressed. He omits entirely neural laryngeal feeeback, or interactive activity with the auditory system, with which it is intimately involved.
My son swallowed a battery which caused him Tracheoesophageal fistula. He underwent a large number of operations. A tracheostomy was performed because the vocal cords did not work. Two years ago and it still doesn't work I will undergo a filler operation, but the cure rate is not guaranteed. Will it remain like this?
Very informative, i have detected left side larynx palsy. .hoarse voice.can't speak clear. ..what to do. .ENT Doctor prescribed speech therapy. .please help
"The most logical reason for this design is that it is due to developmental constraints. Embryologist Professor Erich Blechschmidt wrote that the recurrent laryngeal nerve’s seemingly poor design in adults is due to the “necessary consequences of developmental dynamics and are not to be interpreted … as historical carryovers” from evolution. Human-designed devices, such as radios and computers, do not need to function until their assembly is complete. By contrast, living organisms must function to a high degree in order to thrive during every developmental stage...". @t. put this in references please.
Is there a way you can make more videos specifically going into more detail about superior laryngeal nerve injuries? I was suppose to have a benign ventricular vocal cyst removed while intubated but when I woke up I was told that it wasn't a cyst after all and that nothing was done but all of a sudden I had decreased pitch and can't sing or play with my daughter much anymore. Even in my medical record he put that I seen him for strain and decreased pitch, I never had decreased pitch. I was intentionally set up and profiled as a patient and I'm pretty sure he cut my superior laryngeal nerves because no other otolaryngologists in my area wants to see me based on how I sustained my problem either which makes me suspect it even more. The other doctors I have seen out of state have also been unable to help me and have even fired me as a patient for no reason so to me it is crystal clear that something very wrong has occured. The whole medical field is trying to cover this up so I can't even see a doctor who's willing to find, diagnose and treat my condition but this seems to be the only one that would make perfect sense because I don't have any lesions on my cords ect. They are healthy and come together in the midline when speaking but when I go up in range and pitch they start to seperated and a muscle tension of the false folds is seen more than likely pointing to compensation of a neurologic injury.
@@yxvm it hasn't one bit because I was intentionally injured over racial bias. The nerves were chopped on each side from the inside and then the wounds were sutured and I was framed. No investigations either because everything is so corrupt here. The Dr's name is Jason Mudd located in Albuquerque NM.
@@anthonyquevedo474 my laryngeal nerve is messed up. Which caused my left vocal cord not to work. I cannot eat or sip water. I'm on a feeding tube on my stomach. What about you?
@@yxvm if it's just 1 vocal cord and not both there is lots of hope for you. Not sure why you are hooked to a feeding tube but all that you likely need is an implant or injection laryngoplasty to push your left vocal cord to the midline. In my case, my recurrent laryngeal nerves are intact but both of my superior laryngeal nerves on each side are chopped so this means that I can speak but I am completely monotone and cannot express verbal emotions or sing ect. I can only talk in 1 tone and it's monotone and I cannot yell either. There is no treatment because I was intentionally injured and it was a crime so in order to save this doctor's career they are pretending that I'm not injured at all and I'm just trying to get a lawsuit ect. Injuries like this are so much worse when there is injustice like this involved and you have a responsibility like raising a 2 year old child that depends on you to learn how to speak and develop. This has left my daughter so depressed with delayed speech.
I don't know if i understand the whole video but still can graps few things. TQ... just came here coz doc said my baby has vocal cord palsy with prominent stridor. Don't know what was that....
My daughter had a very traumatic intubation during a full body systemic allergic reaction to nuts. One month later she had a tracheostomy due to continued swelling. She has now had the trach for 1.5 years and each time she’s had surgery to remove it, they have failed. She is unable to speak or breathe without the trach. Doctors are baffled and we are not sure of our next steps. She’s 22 and otherwise healthy. Any advice?
i have paralyzed vocal cords since i was 10 or 11 months old. i am now 37 years old and my vocal cords are still paralyzed to this day. people who don't know me often ask me if I'm sick,have a bad cold. because my voice is very soft,raspy and horse. i can scream like other women can.. like at all. even if i tried i can't at all! so i don't know what its like to scream. i sound normal to me in my head but to others I'm soft spoken,raspy and horse sounding.
