The sound of a cough can vary somewhat between individuals and in pitch, volume, and shrillness. What causes that sound? A cough starts with inspiration to fill the lungs, then the glottis closes, subglottic air is compressed, and the sudden opening of the glottis lets out the gust of ...
text>Objectives: The aim of this study was to validate the successfulness of our developed system for distinction between cough and other sounds which are present in daily human activities from the upper airways. Background: To date, methods used for monitoring of cough sound were primarily ...
Pulmonary function evaluation based on sound signal Sounds have been used in recent research about pulmonary function evaluation. With the rise of medical digitization, the diagnosis and evaluation of respiratory diseases based on sound signals have significant advantages in convenience and cost when compa...
We present the results of a diagnostic accuracy study for paediatric respiratory disease using an automated cough-sound analyser. Methods We recorded cough sounds in typical clinical environments and the first five coughs were used in analyses. Analyses were performed using cough data and up to five...
Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, it’ll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses....
text>Habit cough is an important differential diagnosis of persistent coughing. It is the most common diagnosis among the clinical entities of reactive airways dysfunction syndrome. Habit cough shows a typical tracheal, barking or honking sound. Habit cough does not occur during sleep and is usually...
Similarly, trying to locate a cause through the sound of the cough-that is, whether barking or brassy-will not usually lead to success in adult patients and is now not encouraged. (The same may not be true, however, in children.) ACUTE COUGH IN ADULTS If a...
The attacks occur more often at night, the mother says, and have disrupted her daughter's sleep. While you're assessing the child, she experiences one of these episodes, and you hear an unusual sound as she breathes in after the attack. You suspect t...
Further, children with asthmatic cough with concurrent respiratory conditions, such as respiratory tract infection, allergic rhinitis, or both, were excluded, as these conditions might confound the quality and characteristics of the asthmatic cough sound in question. Children re-admitted into the hospit...
