Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an upper airway obstruction that occurs during the sleep. One of the suggested mechanisms involved in this process is a neuromuscular abnormality of the palatal muscles. Whether children with OSAS develop into OSAS adults, or children and adult OSAS are two
OBJECTIVE
Short- and long-term evaluation of the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency velar coblation for simple snoring.
METHODS
From February 2000 to May 2004, 175 patients underwent a single radiofrequency session for velar coblation. All patients suffered from snoring without sleep apnea. They
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with cardiovascular disease and systemic inflammation in adults but this remains to be explored in children, especially in children with the most common form of SDB, i.e. primary snoring/mild SDB. This pilot study investigated the relationship between
The aim of this study was to observe the relationship between the gene expression profiles of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and endothelin (EDN)-1 and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).A prospective, cross-sectional study performed at a tertiary-care academic OBJECTIVE
As a subtype membrane receptor of tumor necrosis factor alpha, not much is known about the link between the soluble TNF receptor-I and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. We hypothesized that the TNF receptor might play an important role in the inflammation in patients with OSAHS,
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relation of plasma vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) in children.
METHODS
Eighty children were recruited from October 2008 to March 2009, including 60 children with snoring
OBJECTIVE
To report an extremely rare case of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis.
METHODS
A 35-year-old male patient presented with nasal obstruction and snoring. Nasal endoscopic examination with a rigid endoscope revealed a large mass on the posterior wall and roof of the nasopharynx. A computed
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the vibratory mechanical stimulus due to snoring induces upper-airway inflammation in an in-vivo rat model.
METHODS
Prospective controlled animal study.
METHODS
University laboratory.
METHODS
Sixteen male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g).
METHODS
The upper trachea of 8
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of preoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), fetuin-A, cystatin C, adiponectin and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in children with adenoid/tonsillar hypertrophy and compare these
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The underlying pathogenesis is not clear. In patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) elevated levels of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis
The aim of the current study was to investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) in allergic rhinitis (AR) patients, and to further explore the association of lncRNA ANRIL expression with AR risk, severity, and inflammation.In this
To evaluate the treatment of hypertrophy of inferior turbinates in patients diagnosed with allergic/non allergic rhinitis with the use of radiofrequency ablation technique. Ablation with radiofrequency was used in this study on the inferior turbinates of 200 patients diagnosed as allergic/non
Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of sclerotherapy using radio-opaque foam and guided by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for complex venous malformations in the head and neck in 11 selected patients between 2011 and 2013. The sclerosing foam was manufactured by the classic Tessari method
Pharynx tuberculosis consists in a set of active lesions in granulomatous-type mucosa, resulting from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In an endemic context, this diagnosis should be raised in cases of head and neck disease. A recent observation of a case of acute miliary tuberculosis gave us
Foreign body (FB) in the aerodigestive tracts has been commonly reported but findings of impacted foreign bodies in the nasopharynx following inhalation/ingestion are very rare. Most of the FB gets lodged as a result of forceful vomiting, coughing,and digital manoeuvres for removal of FB in the
