OBJECTIVE
Chronic tonsillitis (CT)-adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is the most common cause of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is one of the most common reasons of nocturnal hypoxia in children. However, there is limited information about the relationship between childhood OSA and atherosclerosis or
Poor quality sleep and sleep-related hypoxia have been described in children awaiting (adeno)tonsillectomy even in the absence of a history which would suggest such problems. However, restless sleep has also been commonly reported in children from a normal population. It has not been shown whether
OBJECTIVE
To detect the plasma estrogen level and estrogen receptors expression in palatine tonsils of male patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrom (OSAHS).
METHODS
Seventy-six patients with OSAHS were selected as experimental group, 45 patients with chronic tonsillitis as the control
OBJECTIVE
To observe the ultrastructure of the upper airway skeletal muscle from patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) .
METHODS
Sixteen OSAHS patients were recruited during Oct 2010 to Oct 2011. Ten patients with chronic tonsillitis were recruited as the control. Body mass
UNASSIGNED
Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed at ear, nose, and throat clinics. Chronic recurrent tonsillitis, obstructive tonsillitis, and halitosis are among the most common indications for surgery. Determining whether the infection is chronic and the patient's
Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is the most common cause of obstructive sleep apnea in children. This study aimed to evaluate the blood parameters of children with ATH who underwent surgery.
METHODS
The study included a review of the medical records of 130 children who underwent adenoidectomy or
The failure to eradicate group A beta-hemolytic streptococci from the pharynx is partly due to a low compliance, but above all, an alteration of the oropharyngeal microbiological flora: reduction of alpha-haemolytic streptococci which inhibit group A beta-hemolytic streptococci and increase of
OBJECTIVE
To reseach the correlations between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expressions and angiogenesis in pharyngeal tissue of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
METHODS
Biopsies were obtained by uvulopalatopharyngoplasty from
Objective: To better understand the clinical features of human adenovirus type 7 (hAdV7) pneumonia and to identify whether there is a variation in the genome of the strain (CHN/BeiJing/2018) isolated during the small-scale epidemic. Method: Forty-two patients were diagnosed with hAdV7
Opioids remain the cornerstone of modern-day pain treatment, also in the paediatric population. Opioid treatment is potentially life-threatening, although there are no numbers available on the incidence of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) in paediatrics. To get an indication of specific
BACKGROUND
Obstrutive sleep apnea syndrome is characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction, associated with intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia, and the main risk factor in childhood is adenotonsillar hypertrophy. The lymphocytes in these structures are responsible for local and
OBJECTIVE
Sleep-disordered breathing describes a spectrum of upper airway obstruction in sleep from simple primary snoring, estimated to affect 10% of preschool children, to the syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea. Emerging evidence has challenged previous assumptions that primary snoring is benign.
