title = "Effect of postmortem changes and freezing on the viscoelastic properties of vocal fold tissues",
abstract = "A study was performed to demonstrate that 24 h or postmortem changes at room temperature and one month of frozen storage at -20°C following quick freezing appear to introduce minimal changes on the viscoelastic shear properties of the canine vocal fold mucosa. On the other hand, frozen storage following a slow rate of cooling seemed to induce significant loss of tissue elasticity and viscosity.",

note = "Funding Information: This paper is dedicated to the memory of Steven D. Gray, M.D., who first encouraged the authors to investigate the relationship between freezing and vocal fold tissue mechanical properties. Dr. Gray was a wonderful mentor, caring clinician, and brilliant pioneer in the field of otolaryngology. His work and contributions will resonate in the voice research community for many years to come. The authors thank Richard Kerber, Jeff Bissing, Steve De Jong, Sean Martin, Ray Davies, Rob Smith, and Al Ryan for their generous help in procuring the canine larynges. This work was supported in part by a grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD P60 DC 00976). This work was presented at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the Society of Rheology, Hilton Head, SC, 11–15 February, 2001.",
