Optic Nerve Thickness Assessed by Ocular Ultrasonography in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Objectives Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with various ocular complications, yet ultrasonographic evaluation of optic nerve thickness and its relationship with nocturnal hypoxemia remains poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate optic nerve thickness and globe dimensions using ocular ultrasonography in patients with different ...

ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are comorbid conditions that synergistically increase cardiovascular risk through systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment for OSA, its efficacy in improving hepatic ...

Maxillomandibular Advancement Outcomes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Age and Gender
This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 36 studies (608 patients) found that maxillomandibular advancement significantly improves polysomnographic, cephalometric, and subjective measures of obstructive sleep apnea across both sexes and throughout the lifespan. Odds of surgical cure decline roughly 3% per year of age.

Effects of Intubation Duration on Trachea: A Histopathological Study
This study evaluated the histopathological effects of prolonged endotracheal intubation on the human trachea using biopsy specimens obtained during tracheotomy. Prolonged intubation was associated with progressive inflammatory and structural changes, with tracheal dilatation and perichondritis increasing significantly after 14 days.

A Scoping Review of Laryngeal Edema Rating Scales for Extubated Acute Respiratory Failure Survivors
This scoping review identified existing laryngeal edema rating scales and evaluated whether any are adequately designed for post‐extubation acute respiratory failure (ARF) survivors. Across 35 included studies, most used subjective binary classifications and only the RTOG and Patterson Edema scales had operational definitions and reliability/validity ...
