Transoral Robotic Lingual Tonsillectomy for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
ABSTRACT Objectives Our objective was to investigate the safety and efficacy of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) lingual tonsillectomy (LT) with and without epiglottopexy and to compare it with non‐robotic approaches for children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Lipofuscin: The Missing Link in the Worsening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Lipofuscin, also known as the age pigment, is a permanent autofluorescent intracellular deposit that accumulates with aging or oxidative stress, thereby interfering with cellular function. This study revealed significantly larger deposits of lipofuscin in the lateral pharyngeal wall muscles of patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared

The effect of nasal surgery on apnea-hypopnea index
One of the factors, which is involved in obstructive sleep apnea, is anatomic or inflammatory pathologies of nasal airway obstruction. Thus, it is logical to observe improvement of polysomnographic parameters of sleep-disordered breathing after nasal surgery. The authors performed a review of the literature, up to 2013, to determine the impact of nasal

Role of Sleep Disturbances and Diabetes‐Related Distress on Glycemic Control: A Path Analysis
ABSTRACT Despite advancements in diabetes management technology, many patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) struggle to achieve optimal glycemic control. Sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and insomnia are common in T2D and linked to poor glycemic control. Insomnia, particularly with short sleep duration, may worsen glycemic control by
