Chronic tonsillitis (CT) was found in 63.1% of 190 obese children aged 3-15 years, 15% of them had no quinsy in the past. Onset of obesity was attributed to frequent quinsy in 18.3% of the examinees. Marked CT exacerbations were more typical for the children aged 6-7 years (10%). In 12-15-year-olds
We describe two adult patients in whom acute tonsillitis resulted in the rapid development of cor pulmonale in the absence of clinically evident upper airway obstruction or diffuse obstructive airway disease. Both patients had developed symptoms of sleep apnea and all-night polysomnography confirmed
BACKGROUND
Postoperative hemorrhage is one of the serious complications of adenotonsillar surgery. This study seeks to investigate the relationship between post-tonsillectomy/adenotonsillectomy hemorrhage in the pediatric population and obesity, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), adenotonsillar
The aim of this study was to determine if children with recurrent tonsillitis are smaller than expected before tonsillectomy and if they have an altered height or weight gain 1 year post-operatively. All (204) children attending the hospital for tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy had their
OBJECTIVE
Obesity rates have been increasing for all population groups worldwide, leading to the increased development of various diseases. This study was designed is to identify the relationships between obesity and several important otorhinolaryngologic diseases, including chronic otitis media
Objective: To determine if drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) findings are different in obese versus non-obese pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
Clinical and laboratory tests were conducted in 138 females of reproductive age with chronic decompensated tonsillitis (CDT) with normal and excessive body mass. Improper diet of the obese patients was responsible for specific manifestations of CDT, disturbances of lipid, carbohydrate and mineral
Although it is known that inflammatory processes elevate the risk of cancer, to date the association between chronic tonsillitis and tonsil cancer remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association of chronic tonsillitis with tonsil cancer based on a population-based database in Taiwan.
OBJECTIVE
Introduction:S. aureus is the main pathogen of skin, soft tissue and otorhinolaryngological infections as well as the cause of osteomyelitis, meningitis and endocarditis. In recent years the importance of S. aureus mediated infections has grown not only because of their widespread, but
OBJECTIVE
By using mathematical modeling, to evaluate the impact of upper respiratory tract diseases, retro- and micrognathia, and body mass index (BMI) on nocturnal pulse oximetry indicators (oxygen saturation level and oxygen desaturation index) in outpatients examined for suspected obstructive
The dynamics in schoolchildren's health status varies in time, as the incidence of some chronic diseases decreases and that of the others increases. As a result, the health status of schoolchildren has deteriorated due to a reduction in the number of healthy children and an increase in the number of
A systematic examination of 391 children at school age was performed, at age from 1st to 4th grade of grammar school, among which there was 183 boys and 208 girls. Examination was done by the responsible pediatric service of the Primary health care Center Sokolac with help of the humanitarian
OBJECTIVE
Adenotonsillar hypertrophy and chronic tonsillitis are associated with growth interruption during childhood, while adenotonsillectomy has been associated with growth improvement and increased body mass index (BMI). However, no reported study has investigated the effect of
School health has been considered as a high priority intervention in developing countries but it has not been prioritized in Nepal. The objectives of the study are to find out the prevalence of morbidity and nutritional status in school children.A 5 days of lowering of body mass followed by body mass gain up to its presurgery value 3 weeks after tonsillectomy was observed in 76 young men aged 15-17. These changes are explained by post-tonsillectomy diet. 247 adolescents with chronic tonsillitis had height and body mass greater than those in
