Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
Applied ENT is an area of fundamental importance for the Degree in Speech Therapy. The central objective of this area is the integration of several knowledge of the ENT area with special interest to Speech Therapists. Some of the pathological entities discussed, are associated with dysfunctions in patients with reflexes in phonation and deglutition. Other dysfunctions with neurological base have repercussions in organs and systems that interact with chewing, voice and swallowing, making it fundamental to approach them in the curricula of the future Speech Therapists. Finally, psychological dysfunctions are also analyzed, trying to teach students how these situations can affect vocal performance.
Syllabus:
CP1. Methods of observation and analysis of laryngeal function. CP2.Nodules, polyps and other minor lesions of larynx CP3.Vocal dysfunctions of psychic origin CP4. Vocal dysfunctions associated to excessive tension in children and adults CP5. Spastic dysphonia CP6. Vocal dysfunctions associated with specific pathologies CP7. Pathologies that lead permanent dysphonia CP8. Pathologies associated with hoarse or hard voice CP9. Vocal tremulous in several pathologies CP10. Entities associated to higher or lower vocal tone CP11. Orofacial motricity disorders CP12.Deglutition and phonation disorders associated with cervico facial oncologic diseases CP13. Vocal disturbances associated with partial laryngeal surgeries CP14.Vocal disturbances associated with radical larynx surgery CP15. Methods of voice rehabilitation in laryngectomized patients
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
OA1.What kind of exams or other methods we may use to analyze vocal disorders. OA2. Functional implications of minimal lesions of vocal cords OA3. Understand psychic-based dysphonia. OA5. Understand dysphonia due to excess muscle tension in children and adults. OA6. Understand spastic dysphonia in several aspects. OA7. Analyze pathological entities were dysphonia is present. OA8. Characterize and contextualize hoarse and harsh voice. AO9. Characterize and contextualize situations of vocal tremulous. OA10. Characterize and analyze tonal fluctuations in pathological contexts OA11. Characterize orofacial motor dysfunctions and its implications OA12. Vocal dysfunctions and dysphagia in cervico facial diseases. OA13.Functional implications in partial laryngeal surgery. OA14 Functional implications associated with total laryngectomies. OA15. Vocal rehabilitation methodology in laryngectomized patients.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Contents will be taught in an expositive base, and their exposition will be accompanied by images that illustrate the subjects more realistically. Kknowledge, in the theoretical and practical component, will be evaluated in two different moments, through the realization of a test type examination, composed by multiple choice, true / false type and development questions, being each test quoted with 20 values. Another component of the classification will be obtained by the elaboration of a specific work leading a selected theme also quoted with 20 values,. The classification of this component will be the average of these two components. Assessment: Normal season - Distributed Evaluation TEO: 2 Written tests (50% + 50%) TPRA: 2 Written tests (50%+50%) Final Note: Average notes (positive approvals) for both TP and P components Final Season - Written Exam (100%)
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
It is intended with this curricular unit that students acquire theoretical and practical knowledge that allows them to understand some of the fundamentals underlying problems in chewing, swallowing and phonation which are associated to pathological situations in the areas such as Otorhinolaryngology, Neurology and even Psychiatry. It is also intended that students can understand how some surgeries directed to the treatment of oncological pathologies of the oral cavity, oro / hypopharynx and larynx, condition changes in voice and swallowing, helping them to understand some of the methodologies rehabilitation contexts, in order to reduce functional sequelae Analyzing the proposed contents (CP) and the learning objectives (AO), it becomes clear the parallelism between each of the points listed.
