Title: Speech pathology in the context of gender-affirming laryngeal surgery for trans feminine and trans masculine individuals
Moderator/Chair: Jennifer Oates
Panellists: Christella Antoni, Christie Block, Evelien D’haeseleer, Debbie Phyland, Becks von Duering
Introduction: Jenni to briefly outline scope & format of panel session, comment on history of collaboration between SPs & laryngologists & how this surgical area of practice has advanced as a result, mention SOC-v8 recommendation 14.4 (health care professionals should refer clients considering gender affirming laryngeal surgery to a voice & communication specialist for pre- & post-operative support), outline different purposes of pre- & post-operative voice support (voice support includes informational counselling &/or GA voice training &/or voice therapy)
Questions to be canvassed (in Q&A format and with opportunities for audience participation):
1. How & where do you typically interact with surgeon(s) (e.g. via written referral & reporting only, via joint or separate pre & post-op assessments, via team meetings) & what are pros and cons of your collaboration context? Each panellist in turn - 30 seconds max each!
2. Are there, or should there be, any differences between how SPs collaborate with surgeon(s) for GA surgery patients versus for patients undergoing laryngeal surgery for laryngeal pathologies? Christie, Christella, Debbie
3. Which trans clients typically request only gender-affirming laryngeal surgery, only voice training, or both surgery and voice training? What individual factors underly their different requests? Debbie, Becks
4. What are the roles of speech pathologists and surgeons in supporting client decision making around intervention options and providing counselling prior to and following gender-affirming laryngeal surgery? Christie, Evelien, Becks, Christella
5. How can speech pathologists serve the aims of our trans clients and stay on the same page as both them and our laryngeal surgery colleagues? Are there any situations where the aims of the patient can’t be fully served? Christie, Becks
6. Do you think laryngologists & SPs should recommend that all trans clients requesting gender-affirming laryngeal surgery undergo pre- and/or post-operative voice training? If yes, what is your rationale? If no, why? Christella & any panellist(s)
7. Which voice assessments and laryngeal examinations best inform peri-operative gender-affirming voice training & laryngeal surgery? What is your rationale for preferencing these assessments? Evelien, Debbie (Debbie will particularly focus on relevance of TA & CT muscles, tissue, ligament stretch, glottic competence & closure patterns, symmetry & periodicity of vocal fold vibration, vibratory frequency vs amplitude, importance of resonance & vocal register)
8. Do you approach post-operative voice training in stages? If yes, what are those stages? Debbie & any panellist(s)
9. Under what circumstances would pre-operative voice therapy (in addition to gender-affirming voice training) be recommended & how might this impact on the timing of laryngeal surgery? Christella, Evelien
10. What are your perspectives on the potential vocal functioning benefits and potential harms of the different types of laryngeal surgery? Evelien, Christella
11. How do you determine the timing and duration of peri-operative gender-affirming voice training? Evelien, Christie
12. What are your experiences of voice outcomes and patient satisfaction following laryngeal surgery and what factors do you think might underly or predict which patients achieve their voice-related goals following surgery? Evelien, Christie, Debbie, Becks (please comment in your response on why some clients request &/or need voice training even when surgery goes to plan).
13. What are the potential impacts of gender-affirming laryngeal surgery on singing voice and how can speech pathologists assist clients to continue singing after surgery? Debbie
14. How can we increase accessibility and reduce current barriers to gender-affirming laryngeal surgery and voice training/therapy for trans people (e.g., financial burden for patients, limited no. of laryngeal surgeons & voice practitioners with experience in this field)? Any panellist(s
Christella sledgei Ranil 2021, comb. nov.
No full text5. Christella sledgei (Fraser-Jenk.) Ranil, comb. nov. Basionym: Thelypteris sledgei Fraser-Jenk. (1997:266) [Christella papilio (Hope) Holttum var. repens Sledge (1981:37)]. Type:— SRI LANKA, Nuwara Eliya District, below Hakgala gardens, 1650 m, 26 Feb. 1954, W. A . Sledge 1212, (BM holotype). Distribution: Sri Lanka (endemic). Note:—This species was described by Sledge (1981) as a variety of Christella papilio (Hope) Holttum. It is different from C. papilio due to its long creeping rhizome with well-spaced fronds and tetraploid chromosome number (n=72) (Manton and Sledge, 1954). Later, it was renamed T. sledgei by Fraser-Jenkins (1997). This endangered species is confined to streams banks in forests at higher elevations (1500-2200 m) (Shaffar-Fehre, 2006).Published as part of Rajapaksha, Ranil, 2021, Six new combinations and one new natural hybrid of ferns from Sri Lanka, pp. 183-186 in Phytotaxa 511 (2) on pages 184-185, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.511.2.6, http://zenodo.org/record/542664

Anti-bacterial, Anti-oxidant and Anti-inflammatory Activity of Leaf Extract of Christella acuminata
Get PDFNatural source being a valuable resource of medicine, Christella acuminata (fern), is considered in the present study, where its ethanolic and aqueous leaf extracts were examined for phytochemical screening, antibacterial activity, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory activity. The presence of phytoconstituents was determined by different phytochemical screening methods. Various concentrations (100-1000µg/ml) of the sample extracts were examined for their anti-bacterial activity by Disc Diffusion Method, anti-oxidant activity by Ferric ion Reducing Anti-oxidant Power (FRAP) assay, and anti-inflammatory effect by Egg Albumin denaturation assay. The presence of various phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, steroids, and saponins was positive. The efficacy of antibacterial activity of the extracts was observed as the zone of inhibition of bacteria around the discs relative to streptomycin and the zone of inhibition was found to be the highest in an ethanolic extract with the recorded values of 2.35±0.02mm and 2.14±0.02mm for gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria respectively whereas the ferric reducing antioxidant power was observed highest in an aqueous extract with recorded values of 1.8566 ± 0.021.The percentage inhibition of egg albumin denaturation showed the highest activity in an ethanolic extract, with recorded values of 89.7 ± 0.09 %. These results suggest that the ethanolic and aqueous leaf extract of Christella acuminata can be a potent source in drug discovery for improving inflammation, and oxidative stress and treating bacterial infections. Since no previous study is reported for this plant extract as per we know, further detailed studies may be carried out for better insights.

Molecular phylogenetic study on genus Christella of thelypteridaceae (Pteridophyta) in Sabah by using rbcL sequence gene
Get PDFThere are six species under Genus Christella obtainable in Sabah. For this study, only
four species were analyzed; Christella arida, Christella subpubescens, Christella sp. l
and Christella sp. 2. For Christella sp. l and Christella sp. 2, identification process only
successful till genus level. Besides determining DNA sequences of taxa in Christella,
establishing phylogenetic relationship for Genus Christella is the main objective of the
study. Constructing phylogenetic tree becomes possible by using rbcL sequence gene.
The purpose of using rbcL gene is because it is sufficient to study phylogenetics
relationship at the species level or to review ferns phylogenetics relationship. DNA
sequences were analysed by using the PAUP* version 4.0 beta 10 for Macintosh computer
programme to reveal relationship among studied species. Nucleotides sequences were
edited using BioEdit computer programme and inserted into PAUP* for further analysis.
Two analyses; Maximum Parsimony (MP) and Neighbor Joining (NJ) interested in this
study. By comparing, both methods show similar results in separation of the studied
samples according to the species nature. For MP method, it proves Christella sp. 1 as
misidentified species due to exclusion from Christella Glade. This depicts more methods
should be analysed for better output. Thus, proving molecular data agree with
morphological data to build phylogenetic tree
