    AIM: The goal of this study was to make the laryngological, auditory perceptual and acoustic computer analyses of young adults' (smokers and non-smokers) voices, without vocal complaint, compare them and verify the incidence of vocal alterations. STUDY DESIGN: Clinical comparative. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The voices of 80 individuals with age range from 20 to 40 years were analyzed. These individuals were divided in four groups: 20 male smokers, 20 male non-smokers, 20 female smokers and 20 female non-smokers. This analysis involved laryngoscopy, which was performed and interpreted by an otolaryngologist, and cassette tape recordings of the sustained vowels /a/, /m/, /i/ e /u/, number counting from 1 to 20, speech of the days of the week, months of the year and singing of Happy Birthday. The cassette tape recordings were edited for further spectrographic analysis and auditory perceptual evaluation made by four speech therapists experienced in the major of voice. RESULTS: After the analysis, a slight reduction of the fundamental frequency of the voice of smokers of both sexes was noticed, as well as higher incidence of hoarseness and laryngeal alterations among the smokers.

    The fundamental frequency of voice and its correlations with the five sounds of the traditional Chinese Medicine
    (Cognizant Communication Corp, 2007-01-01) Barros, Fernando Cesar Dotta de [UNIFESP]; Barros, Soraia Elias de; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The Fundamental Frequency of Voice (F-0) is one of the patterns of voice evaluation, where the sound of a prolonged vowel spoken is measured by a chromatic tuner, and the result is obtained in a musical tone. We investigated the correlations of the Fundamental Frequency of Voice and the 5 sounds of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We determined the tones corresponding to the sounds related in the ancient book Ling Shu, which are Zhi (), Yu(), Gong (), Shang () and Jue (), using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test and histological slides of the following human organs: heart, kidney, pancreas, lung and liver. We also investigated the F-0 in interned patients with the following western medicine diagnosis: schizophrenia, kidney failure and hepatic failure. The results are discussed, and suggest that the Fo can be used as a complementary diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.
