Cysts can deteriorate the quality of human Manner of articulation speech production, causing diplophonia, a condition where the vocal cords produce multiple tones at the same time, or dysphonia , an impaired quality of voice typically involving hoarseness or a breathy sound. Females are more likely than males to develop vocal fold cysts and the menstrual cycle may alter the size of the cyst. The cysts usually appear on one side of the vocal fold but may cause swelling on the opposite side due to irritation. There are two types of vocal fold cysts mucus retention and epithermoid. Mucus retention cysts occur when a gland ular duct becomes blocked and is unable to secrete. This can occur after an Common cold upper respiratory infection combined with vocal overuse. Epidermoid cysts result from either developmental problems before birth or from an injury to the mucous membrane . A ruptured cyst may result in a scar.

In advertising , a soft sell is an advertisement or campaign that uses a more subtle, casual, or friendly sales message. This approach works in opposition to a hard sell . Theorists have examined the value of repetition for soft sell versus hard sell messages to determine their relative efficacy.

Soft sell is also less likely to be irritating to consumers. References Herbert E. Krugman. An Application of Learning Theory to TV Copy Testing.

orphan date June 2008 Clinical sign for acute localised Appendicitis , named after the General Surgeon Farouk Massouh from Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey United Kingdom. The sign describes a firm swish of the examiner s index and middle finger across the patient s abdomen from xiphoid sternum to first the left and then the right iliac fossa. A positive Massouh sign is a grimace of the patient upon a right sided and not left sweep. The explanation for the reliability of this diagnostic tool is based on the fact that appendicitis in the initial stage usually causes localised irritation of the peritoneum. The well innervated peritoneum is very sensitive to pain and therefore sensitive to jouncing movements. Similarly this is the explanation for other signs of localised peritonitis such as Murphy s sign , Rovsig s sign or Psoas sign ref http bmj.bmjjournals.com cgi content full 333 7567 530 Acute appendicitis Humes and Simpson 333 7567 530 BMJ Bot generated title ref .
