The vocal folds, more commonly known as vocal cords, are small and flexible flaps of tissue located inside the larynx, better known as the "voice box." These delicate, multilayered structures assist in multiple functions, including breathing and swallowing. Most importantly, however, the vocal folds allow us to vocalize. We can produce all kinds of sounds simply by controlling the tension and shape of these folds. Unfortunately, many diseases and anomalies can affect the mechanical properties of the vocal folds.

The United Nations (UN) warned this week that the era of global warming has ended and the era of 'global boiling' has arrived as global temperatures exceeded the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold above the preindustrial level in the first and third week of this month. Europe, North America, and Asia have been hit by heatwaves, the Philippines included. The country recorded the hottest day this month on July 6 with a temperature of 37 degrees in Port Area, Manila. Many Filipinos' soaring electricity bills over the past months bear witness to the unbearable heat even though 'habagat' (southwest monsoon season) and Typhoons 'Dodong' and 'Egay' this month helped bring down high temperatures a notch and brought much-needed rains to replenish drying dams and scorched farms.
