Velopharyngeal sonorous snoring is best treated with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). To reduce surgical risks and minimize the morbidity, a simplified carbon dioxide laser uvulopalatoplasty (LUPP) was performed under local anesthesia. Among a total of 146 patients who had a LUPP performed, there
To investigate the risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage in women, we conducted a 1:1 pair matched case-control study on 98 women with cerebral hemorrhage diagnosed by CT scan of the head and the same number of controls. Single factor analysis revealed that a high body mass index (BMI) increased the
Frequency and severity of sleep apnoeas, snoring history, standard clinical stroke scale were assessed in 106 acute (73 ischaemic, 33 haemorrhagic) stroke patients. Thirty-seven patients with ischaemic stroke and 14 patients with cerebral bleeding, each having pathological oxygen desaturation index
A case-control study to investigate the risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage was conducted in 162 hospitalized patients diagnosed by head CT scan in Tianjin, 1988-89. Each patient was matched at the same time by one hospital control and one community control. Multivariable conditional logistic
OBJECTIVE
Recent laser and radiofrequency techniques for the treatment of snoring have provided improvements, but intraoperative and postoperative risks, complications, and long-term results have not been explored in a statistically large enough sample of patients. The goal of this article is to
OBJECTIVE
Snoring is now seen as one end of a spectrum of sleep-related breathing disorders, and in its extreme form, snoring can cause obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Since the introduction of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, many other procedures have been introduced to alleviate palatal abnormalities
OBJECTIVE
Nasal obstruction always occurs when the nasal passages are narrowed by a hypertrophic turbinate or a deviated nasal septum. Patients with nasal obstruction often have associated snoring. Laser-assisted outpatient septoplasty (LAOS) has a specific clinical application in chronic nasal
OBJECTIVE
Patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea frequently have nasal and palatal obstruction. The objective of this study was to investigate the safety and feasibility of a palatal septal cartilage implant (SCI) for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
METHODS
This was a preliminary
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the Er,Cr:YSGG (Waterlase) laser with KTP and CO2 lasers in laser assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) for treatment of snoring.
METHODS
This is a prospective study of 63 patients who were treated for snoring by LAUP either with
OBJECTIVE
To explore the effect of plasma radiofrequency at low temperature in treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
METHODS
Plastic surgery of uvula and soft palate was performed by plasma radiofrequency at low temperature under local anaesthesia in out-patient
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of palatal implants in primary snoring patients and to determine the long-term results.
METHODS
Retrospective clinical trial.
METHODS
Twenty-one adult primary snorers treated with palatal implants were reviewed. Apnea-hypopnea indexes of all the patients were <5.
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to compare the postoperative pain and surgical results of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP), and cautery-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (CAUP) procedures in the treatment of primary snoring.
METHODS
54 patients were stratified according to a
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to identify pre- or intraoperative markers for post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage (PTH) that may help to define in-/outpatient tonsillectomy.
METHODS
A retrospective case-control study of tonsillectomized patients.
METHODS
A tertiary referral university
Thirty patients suffering from habitual snoring were subjected to laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty with a KTP/532 laser under local anesthesia. The patients selected for the present study had no complaints of severe sleep apnea. The surgical procedure included bilateral vertical incision through the
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of polyethylene terephthalate implants in the soft palate to modify disturbing snoring.
METHODS
Interventional study, before-after trial.
METHODS
Referral center, institutional practice, hospitalized care.
METHODS
Twelve consecutive patients with
