Welcome to this week's episode of Schauer Thoughts, we are continuing our discussion of May health observances, as well as why I think “whiny women” is the most IRONIC label and we'll also be touching on the emerging Hantavirus outbreak. Please make sure to check out all the resources below, it is important to stay informed *especially* as an American, considering *gestures to current administration.* I just want to take the time to say, if you have chronic pain, I absolutely believe you. The world has been cruel and made you hide, belittled you, gaslit you, and that is a massive load of BS. It is cruel, unfair, and outright wrong - I am sending you support, resources, and will continue researching and speaking out because no one should ever have to “suck it up.” Also, the part about getting advised by a group of people with pain medication addictions is a joking suggestion. However, it would behoove everyone to get acquainted with the addiction community, seeing as how a lot of these conversations involve us but do not actually involve us as individuals. -If you're tired of overthinking every interaction, try Hily Dating App. Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.com — Book Resources — Tell Me Where It Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to Heal - Rachel Zoffness, PhD ADHD: Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System with Neuroscience, Nutrition, and Gut-Brain Health - Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas An Elegant Defense: The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System - Matt Richtel Attention: Beyond Mindfulness - Gay Watson Organ Speak: What It Really Means to Listen to Our Bodies - Giulia Enders — “Whiny Woman” & Laryngeal Manifestations Resources — The Whiny Woman, written by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, MD Role of the periaqueductal grey in vocal expression of emotion The role of the periaqueductal grey in vocal behavior Chronic Pain Syndromes and Their Laryngeal Manifestations Laryngeal Involvement in Connective Tissue Disorders.

BUFFALO, NY – May 13, 2026 – A new #casereport was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on May 4, 2026, titled “Laryngeal leiomyosarcoma: A rare case report and literature review.” The study was led by first author Bolat Shalabaev and corresponding author Zhuldyz Kuanysh, both from the National Research Oncology Center, Astana, Kazakhstan. In this report, the authors describe a rare case of high-grade laryngeal leiomyosarcoma (LLMS) in a 64-year-old man who presented with progressive dyspnea and hoarseness caused by a large supraglottic mass. Laryngeal leiomyosarcoma is an exceptionally uncommon malignant tumor of smooth muscle origin, with fewer than 70 cases reported worldwide since it was first described in 1939. Because most laryngeal malignancies are epithelial tumors such as squamous cell carcinoma, diagnosis of LLMS can be particularly challenging and requires extensive histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation. Imaging studies revealed a heterogeneous laryngeal tumor causing near-complete obstruction of the airway. Histopathological analysis demonstrated high-grade spindle-cell proliferation with marked pleomorphism and pathological mitoses. Immunohistochemical testing showed strong expression of smooth muscle actin (SMA) and vimentin, while markers including CD34, myogenin, cytokeratins 5/6 and 7, and p40 were negative, supporting the diagnosis of high-grade pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma. The patient underwent extended laryngectomy with left neck dissection and formation of a permanent tracheostomy. Comprehensive staging with CT, MRI, and ultrasound showed no evidence of regional or distant metastases. Due to the tumor's aggressive pathological features—including a Ki-67 proliferation index reaching 60%—the multidisciplinary tumor board recommended adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin and ifosfamide following surgery. “Complete surgical excision remains the cornerstone of therapy, while multidisciplinary-guided adjuvant treatment may benefit selected high-grade or high-risk patients.” Postoperative pathology confirmed a high-grade pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma classified as pT3N0M0 according to the AJCC 8th edition staging system. Importantly, surgical margins were negative, and no metastatic involvement was identified in the five examined lymph nodes. At the most recent follow-up, 12 months after surgery and completion of chemotherapy, the patient remained alive and free of recurrence or metastasis. The authors also reviewed recently published LLMS cases reported between 2021 and 2024. Their analysis confirmed persistent male predominance, frequent involvement of the glottic and supraglottic regions, and highly variable clinical outcomes ranging from long-term disease-free survival to rapid metastatic progression. The report further highlights the central role of immunohistochemistry in differentiating leiomyosarcoma from other spindle-cell neoplasms of the head and neck. Importantly, the study emphasizes that complete surgical resection with histologically negative margins remains the most important factor associated with favorable outcomes. While the role of chemotherapy in laryngeal leiomyosarcoma remains controversial, the authors note that individualized multidisciplinary treatment approaches may be particularly valuable in patients with high-grade or high-risk disease features. Overall, this report contributes important clinical insight into one of the rarest malignancies of the larynx. As the first documented case of laryngeal leiomyosarcoma reported from Central Asia, the study expands the limited global literature on this disease and underscores the importance of coordinated multidisciplinary care, detailed pathological evaluation, and long-term surveillance in optimizing patient outcomes.

If you've ever seen an older Labrador struggling to breathe, a Retriever making that distinctive “roaring” noise, or an older dog with noisy breathing and vocal changes, there's a good chance you've encountered laryngeal paralysis. This disease - as the name suggests - affects the larynx, preventing it from opening properly and restricting airflow. In mild cases, it causes noisy breathing and exercise intolerance, but in severe cases, it leads to life-threatening respiratory obstruction. But what else do we need to know about laryngeal paralysis? How can we stabilise these patients in an emergency, treat them effectively, and provide that all-important nursing care? That's exactly what we're covering in episode 64 of the Medical Nursing Podcast. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:
Contributor: Ricky Dhaliwal MD Educational Pearls: Etomidate was previously the drug of choice for rapid sequence intubation (RSI) However, it carries a risk of adrenal insufficiency as an adverse effect through inhibition of mitochondrial 11-β-hydroxylase activity A recent meta-analysis analyzing etomidate as an induction agent showed the following: 11 randomized-controlled trials with 2704 patients Number needed to harm is 31; i.e. for every 31 patients that receive etomidate for induction, there is one death The probability of any mortality increase was 98.1% Ketamine is preferable due to a better adverse effect profile Laryngeal spasms and bronchorrhea are the most common adverse effects after IV push Beneficial effects on hemodynamics via catecholamine surge, albeit not as pronounced in shock patients 2023 meta-analysis compared ketamine and etomidate for RSI Ketamine's probability of reducing mortality is cited as 83.2% Overall, induction with ketamine demonstrates a reduced risk of mortality compared with etomidate The dosage of each medication for induction Etomidate: 20 mg based on 0.3 mg/kg for a 70 kg adult Ketamine: 1-2 mg/kg (or 0.5-1 mg/kg in patients with shock) Patients with asthma and/or COPD also benefit from ketamine induction due to putative bronchodilatory properties References Goyal S, Agrawal A.

Group Singing-Related Technique Workshops for People with Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction: A Feasibility Study
The Medical SLP version of a “Battle of the Bands” would be, without a doubt, a “Battle of the Instrumentals.” As in, which is better: MBS or FEES? The MBS has historically been viewed as the “gold standard” of instrumentals, but a LOT more research has come out about FEES since its introduction into the dysphagia world. And Dr. Jessica Pisegna is here to talk about it in this week's episode of The Swallow Your Pride Podcast! Dr. Pesegna is the section chief at Boston Medical Center of the voice and swallowing center and has worked closely with the one and only Dr. Susan Langmore. In this episode, we cover: -When Dr. Pesegna chooses FEES, MBS, or BOTH simultanously. -What her latest research found when it comes to absent or reduced epiglottic inversion on FEES and what it can mean -The importance of the brand and color of food dye -Why FEES should be used in acute care -The use of residue rating scales and the consistency of clinician ratings. -Laryngeal sensory testing -The ice chip protocol and the Frazier Free Water Protocol -The reliability of Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) on FEES.

In this episode, Dr. Hamdy El-Hakim, pediatric airway surgeon and Associate Professor at the University of Alberta, joins host Dr. Gopi Shah to review laryngeal clefts in children. First, Dr. El-Hakim describes the presentation of laryngeal clefts. Affected children have coughing fits bad enough to cause watery eyes and “blue spells.” These fits are sometimes misattributed to other airway abnormalities or GERD. Then, discussion shifts to the workup of laryngeal clefts. All patients with a suspected laryngeal cleft need a comprehensive physical exam, a risk factor assessment and a swallow assessment, most commonly a FEES. Many patients will also require a diagnostic laryngoscopy with bronchoscopy (DLB). Dr. El-Hakim advises listeners on performing this test in children. Treatment of laryngeal clefts include thickened feeds, injection laryngoplasty, or surgical repair. Finally, Dr. El-Hakim advises listeners on compassionate care for families living with this condition. --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Introduction 03:39 - Laryngeal Clefts in Children: Diagnosis & Classification 06:36 - Presentation of Laryngeal Cleft 12:07 - Risk Factors & Associated Conditions 21:38 - Physical Examination Insights and Diagnostic Approaches 30:15 - The Role of FEES and Modified Barium Swallow in Diagnosis 37:37 - Navigating Pediatric Swallowing Disorders: Strategies and Challenges 41:12 - The Complexities of Diagnosing & Treating Laryngeal Cleft 45:28 - Surgical Techniques & Postoperative Care 01:03:13 - Evaluating Success Post-Surgery 01:09:20 - Final Thoughts: The Impact of Pediatric Dysphagia on Families --- RESOURCES Dr. Hamdy El-Hakim's University of Alberta Profile: https://www.ualberta.ca/airway-research/iarc-team/hamdy-el-hakim.html Article demonstrating superiority of cold steel relative to laser in type I laryngeal cleft repair: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34184769/

2023.05.28 – 0878 – Alcohol And The VoiceAlcoholIt's unlikely you'll be having a drink just before a broadcast show, podcast recording or studio session, but what might be the damage to your voice if you've had one (or several!) the night before, or for serval nights before? Alcohol can:· Contribute to dehydration of your whole body – and drier vocal folds don't vibrate properly, contracting your range and making you sound strained. I mean, you know this already right, because after a ‘session' you feel thirsty and crave water· Make you produce more mucus – reducing the flexibility of your folds and needing you to clear your throat· Make you lose your judgement about how much you're using your voice (for example at a pub karaoke or singing on the way home), leading to damage· Be sold in places like bars and clubs which are noisy, causing you to raise your voice· Have an anaesthetic effect that causes you to push your vocal folds harder to get a normal sensation when talking· Promote acid reflux and vomiting especially if you have drunk too much· Interfere with your sleep – and a rested voice is a better voice· Make you more relaxed, decreasing your heartbeat and so reducing your breath support· Lead to a hangover and brain fog and lack of co-ordination and clear thinking – slurred words, unable to read a script or operate a studio desk· Cause cancer[1]o Mouth cancer – tumours can also develop in the tonsils and saliva glands, lips, tongue, cheeks and gumso Pharyngeal cancer – your throato Laryngeal cancer – at your larynx or vocal folds The symptoms of all of these are wide-ranging and depend on where the cancer has developed. Between 22% and 38% of all mouth, throat and voice box cancers in the UK are caused by drinking alcohol. [2]Taking a look at some of the most common drinks:· Wine is packed with preservatives which may will dry out your throat· Beer is slightly acidic which can cause mucusCocktails are a literal cocktail of phlegm-causing, sugar-rush syrups, acidic juices as well as dehydrating spirits [1] https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/head-and-neck-cancer/ [2] https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

2023.03.17 – 0806 – Stretching and Strengthening Your Laryngeal Muscle There are around 27 muscles in and around the larynx, 15 of these are outside the larynx and hold it in position in the neck, 12 are essential, with a direct action on the vocal folds in their lengthening and shortening, tension and relaxation, thinning and thickening. These laryngeal muscles are intimately connected to the muscles of the neck, shoulders and upper chest and back. The tension of all these muscles is influenced by how we are feeling both physically and emotionally and they affect the function and sometimes the structure of the vocal folds. We need enough tension for a strong healthy voice, but not so much that the voice becomes strained and constricted. [1]So, the muscles around the larynx are intricate and need delicate movement to work, and you need to avoid the other muscles around it, like in the neck (and they're huge – if you've ever been in a car accident and had whiplash, you'll know how debilitating that is) getting tense.And that's why exercises are so important in getting a better voice: moving and stretching to both relax and strengthen muscles.

BAST founder Line Hilton joins Alexa this week to continue on from a discussion they had in Episode 62 - How to Choose the Best Vocal Exercises. This week the focus is on the larynx and finding the best vocal exercises for larynx stability. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are times where the height of the larynx will impede the sound and the ability to produce pitch and negotiate the transition. The larynx can be too high or too low, or neutral high and neutral low. The later two are quite hard and a little arbitrary to find. It's very common for the larynx to track the pitch; as the singer gets higher in the melody the larynx gets higher too. We can sing with a higher larynx in a belted coordination and still be in tune. To help someone with a larynx that goes too low you start with working on the singer's awareness of the larynx, then do pitch work in a spoken style. BEST MOMENTS ‘Most singers don't even realise they can control the height of their larynx' ‘Ask your students to notice what's happening while they're singing, awareness is the first step' ‘This is how it should feel and I can feel where it is' ‘Many singer are not tuned into the feeling of singing' EPISODE RESOURCES BAST Training Guest Website: www.basttraining.com Social Media: @basttraining Relevant Links & Mentions: Singing Teachers Talk Podcast: Ep 62 - How to Choose the Best Vocal Exercises with Line Hilton: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4dWJ0kU0g65yJIpgVVWP6I?si=a62fc2bfd4ac4381 David Phelps: https://www.davidphelps.com/ Kerrie Obert: obertvoicestudios.com Singing Teachers Talk Podcast: Ep 59 - Top Tongue Tips for Boosting High Frequency Energy with Kerrie Obert: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1P8K7Ys9gpeCaT2eUqIQQX?si=0a000c384b414171 ABOUT THE PODCAST BAST Training is here to help singers gain the knowledge, skills and understanding required to be a great singing teacher.

Emergencies happen in hematology and oncology. This is a fact. But how do we manage these emergencies? Look no further. In this episode, we talk all about first oncologic emergencies: superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome.Superior vena cava syndrome: Important: although we focus on a possible malignant mass in this discussion about SVC, other things can also cause SVC syndrome. How do you know about the chronicity of someone's possible SVC syndrome? Compare to a recent picture!Image of patient with collateralization with SVC syndrome: DOI: 10.1056/NEJMicm1311911Workup: Need to determine the etiology; imaging is important: CT of chest (CT venogram)Consider ultrasound to rule out thrombosis Get biopsy (eventually) if this is malignancy DDx of mediastinal masses: 5Ts:ThymomaTerrible lymphoma (B or T-cell)Testicular cancerTeratoma Thyroid malignancies Central line (causing occlusion) +/- clotSo now what? Yes, an answer to what is causing the issue is important, but we need to ensure that patient has a stable airway and temporize the situationOften requires input of specialists, such as Interventional Radiology or Radiation Oncology How to treat patients with SVC syndrome?- Chemotherapy: Important in chemo-responsive tumors (ex. germ cell tumors, lymphomas, small cell lung cancer); This can take a while to work -Placement of stents: Provides more immediate relief, but more invasive -Radiation treatment: Not always possible - Laryngeal edema/cerebral edema: steroids for life-threatening complications; Can affect diagnostic yield of sample and affect diagnosis, but may be required in emergent situations When is more emergent treatment indicated and consultants definitely need to be called (TELL YOUR CONSULTANT IF ANY OF THESE ARE SEEN!):Hemodynamic instabilityWorsening respiratory statusWorsening neurological status Final decision for what to do is often a multi-disciplinary discussion Stents: Provides quick reliefDoes not prohibit a diagnosis and curative treatment for the underlying malignancy Radiation: Takes several days or weeks; depending on underling histologyIf they have received prior radiation, they may not be eligible for more radiation A HUGE thank you to our special guests:Ryan Miller, MD, MS: PGY5 in Radiation Oncology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, PA (https://www.jefferson.edu/university/jmc/departments/radiation_oncology/education/residency/residents/miller.html)Rupal Parikh, MD: PGY6 in Diagnostic/Interventional Radiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA (https://www.pennmedicine.org/departments-and-centers/department-of-radiology/education-and-training/residency-programs/current-residents/ir-integrated-residents/ir-dr-fifth-year/rupal-parikh-md)Please visit our website (TheFellowOnCall.com) for more information Twitter: @TheFellowOnCallInstagram: @TheFellowOnCallListen in on: Apple Podcast, Spotify, and Google Podcast
