Do brachycephaly and nose size predict the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? A sample‐based geometric morphometric analysis of craniofacial variation in relation to OSA syndrome and the role of confounding factors

Journal of Sleep Research, 2022
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder that leads to sleep fragmentation and is potentially bidirectionally related to a variety of comorbidities, including an increased risk of heart failure and stroke.

Evaluation of a Treadmill-Based Submaximal Fitness Test in Pugs, and Collecting Breed-Specific Information on Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome

Animals, 2022
Despite efforts of veterinarians and breeders, brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is still a common problem in pugs, underlining the need for objective tests to identify and prevent breeding with affected dogs.

Cranial Shape Measurements Obtained Using a Caliper and Elastic Bands Are Useful for Brachycephaly and Deformational Plagiocephaly Screening

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
We assessed a method for screening the cranial shape of 1-month-old infants using a simple measuring instrument instead of a three-dimensional scanner. The Mimos craniometer was used to measure cranial length, cranial width, and two diagonal lengths to ...

Beyond Microcephaly: Semilobar Holoprosencephaly with Marked Macrocephaly due to Severe Congenital Hydrocephalus, Brachycephaly, and Hyponatremia – A Case Report

Open Access Indonesian Journal of Medical Reviews
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a rare, complex brain malformation arising from incomplete prosencephalon cleavage, typically associated with microcephaly and facial dysmorphism. Coexisting severe hydrocephalus leading to macrocephaly in HPE, particularly the

Two-Dimensional Image-Based Screening Tool for Infants with Positional Cranial Deformities: A Machine Learning Approach

Diagnostics, 2020
Positional cranial deformities are relatively common conditions, characterized by asymmetry and changes in skull shape. Although three-dimensional (3D) scanning is the gold standard for diagnosing such deformities, it requires expensive laser scanners ...

Analysis of cranial type characteristics in term infants: a multi-center study

BMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Positional head deformity (PHD) is defined as a change in the shape of an infant’s skull due to an external force. In certain cases, it can lead to cosmetic deformities or even neurological issues due to its impact on the developing nervous ...
