OBJECTIVE
To explore the efficacies of nasal cavity enlarging surgery in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients with nasal obstruction.
METHODS
From April 2011 to October 2012, a total of 22 OSAHS patient with nasal obstruction underwent nasal cavity enlargement. Natural
Hyperosmolar solutions are frequently used in clinical practice for enemas. In a review of the literature we found 43 published cases of severe complications connected with the use of hyperosmolar enemas. The absorption of sodium phosphate led to a raise of the temperature up to 41.1 degrees C,
CONCLUSIONS
The efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) can be achieved without application of an apposition suture of the palatopharyngeal arch and the palatoglossal arch.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the outcomes of two different methods of pharyngeal cavity reconstruction in
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic nasal cavity expansion surgery on obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and nasal obstruction.
METHODS
Clinical data of 48 OSAHS patients with structural abnormality in nasal cavity treated in our department were retrospectively
Snoring is caused by the vibration of structures of the oral cavity, such as the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, base of the tongue, epiglottis, and lateral pharyngeal walls. When these structures collapse and obstruct the airway, apnea occurs. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized
OBJECTIVE
To determine the point prevalence of sleep apnea in patients following oral and oropharyngeal cancer treatment at a major tertiary care referral center.
METHODS
A retrospective cross-sectional survey.
METHODS
Twenty-four patients with established oral or oropharyngeal cancer were submitted
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Associations between CRS and poor sleep quality have been reported. This 10-year follow-up study investigates possible associations between incident CRS and sleep
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an oral appliance (Sleep Splint) for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients, and to examine problems with this therapy. Fixed in the oral cavity, the Sleep Splint intends to reduce the occurrence of apnea and prevent blockage of the
Objective: Report the details of an unusual case of initially unilateral intradural spontaneous otogenic pneumocephalus in which the patient developed contralateral pneumocephalus after surgical repair of temporal bone and dural defects
A 32-year-old Japanese male in his second remission of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) received a matched unrelated donor bone marrow transplant (BMT) from the Japan Marrow Donor Program. On day +83, a bone marrow examination revealed 5.2% leukemic cells. Despite the cessation of cyclosporine,
BACKGROUND
Nasal obstruction may be a causative factor in the etiology of obstructive sleep apnea. No studies were found that dealt with the role of nasal polyps in sleep apnea.
METHODS
Two male patients, 69 and 44 years old, were examined in our clinic because of nasal polyps occluding the nasal
BACKGROUND
Ventriculoperitoneal(VP)shunts function because of the pressure differential between the intracranial space and the peritoneal cavity. Although chronic constipation is often a cause of VP shunt dysfunction in children, it is not well recognized in adults. We present a case of shunt
Objective: To assess the postoperative complications in systemically healthy children treated for dental caries under general anesthesia (GA) after discharge and analysis of the correlative factors. Methods: This prospective observational study included 124 children aged 2-8 years old who received
Obstructive sleep apnea is rarely caused by laryngomalacia in adult patients. To our knowledge, laryngomalacia secondary to osteogenesis imperfecta inducing obstructive sleep apnea has not been reported. We present an adult osteogenesis imperfecta patient with obstructive sleep apnea. Oral
