Psychological Stress and Vocal Symptoms Among University Professors in Israel: Implications of the Shift to Online Synchronous Teaching During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Avi Besser, Sari Lotem, Virgil Zeigler-Hill

Summary: This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between levels of psychological stress and vocal symptoms among Israeli academic college professors during the transition to online synchronous teaching due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The findings revealed that there was an increase in psychological stress but not vocal symptoms during the transition. Psychological stress during this transition was associated with vocal symptoms, especially for those who had high levels of psychological stress during previous teaching periods.

Paolo Boscolo-Rizzo, Francesco Guida, Jerry Polesel, Alberto Vito Marcuzzo, Paolo Antonucci, Vincenzo Capriotti, Erica Sacchet, Fiordaliso Cragnolini, Andrea D'Alessandro, Enrico Zanelli, Riccardo Marzolino, Chiara Lazzarin, Margherita Tofanelli, Nicoletta Gardenal, Daniele Borsetto, Claire Hopkins, Luigi Angelo Vaira, Giancarlo Tirelli

Summary: The study aimed to estimate the 1-year prevalence and recovery rate of self-reported chemosensory dysfunction in patients with previous mild-to-moderate symptomatic COVID-19. The findings showed that 21.3% of patients still reported chemosensory dysfunction 1 year after onset, with 69.5% experiencing complete resolution, 21.9% reporting decreased severity, and 8.6% reporting unchanged or worse symptoms. Patients with higher baseline SNOT-22 scores and longer duration for a negative swab had a higher risk of persistence of symptoms.

Effect of Wearing a Face Mask on Vocal Self-Perception during a Pandemic

Vanessa Veis Ribeiro, Ana Paula Dassie-Leite, Eliane Cristina Pereira, Allicia Diely Nunes Santos, Perla Martins, Roxane de Alencar Irineu

Summary: This study analyzed the vocal self-perception of individuals who wore face masks for essential activities and those who wore them for professional and essential activities during the pandemic. The results showed that wearing face masks increased the perception of vocal effort, speech intelligibility difficulties, auditory feedback issues, and coordination problems between speech and breathing. Individuals who wore face masks for professional and essential activities had a greater perception of vocal fatigue and discomfort.

COVID-19 related olfactory dysfunction

Katerina Karamali, Michael Elliott, Claire Hopkins

Summary: This article reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, recovery rates, current treatment options, and research on novel treatments for COVID-19 related anosmia. It is found that loss of sense of smell is a common symptom after COVID-19 infection, and some patients remain anosmic for more than 12 months. Olfactory training is recommended as the first line treatment option.

Decreasing Incidence of Chemosensory Changes by COVID-19 Variant

Daniel H. Coelho, Evan R. Reiter, Evan French, Richard M. Costanzo

Summary: Anecdotal clinical observation suggests that the rates of chemosensory dysfunction associated with COVID-19 infection may be decreasing. A study using a large database found that patients infected with more recent variants are at a significantly lower risk of developing smell and taste loss.

Neck dissection and trans oral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Giuseppe Meccariello, Antonino Maniaci, Giulia Bianchi, Giovanni Cammaroto, Giannicola Iannella, Andrea Catalano, Rossella Sgarzani, Andrea De Vito, Pasquale Capaccio, Stefano Pelucchi, Claudio Vicini

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether Selective Neck Dissection (SND) is a safe procedure for patients with lymph node metastases. The results showed no significant differences in overall survival, disease-free survival, and regional recurrence free survival between SND and Modified Radical Neck Dissection (MRND) groups. Advanced stage was found to impact the 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival. Therefore, the indication for SND should be carefully discussed in a TORS framework.

Summary: COVID-19-related olfactory dysfunction is often associated with the development of parosmia, which can occur either at the onset of smell loss or after a delay. Despite better quantitative olfactory scores, respondents with parosmia report decreased quality of life. The majority of respondents with persistent parosmia have sought treatment.

Summary: Sudden smell loss is a specific early symptom of COVID-19. A longitudinal survey on smell function and recovery reveals that while smell ability improves for many individuals during acute COVID-19, the prevalence of parosmia and phantosmia increases over time. Persistent smell impairment may be a key marker of long-term COVID-19 illness.
