Microbiome and Mycobiome Analyses of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Devices [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology
Objectives. Microorganisms are likely present in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices in daily use. Given the potential risk of infection among CPAP users, we aimed to compare the microbiomes of CPAP devices with those of nasal mucosa ...

Efficacy of CPAP Therapy on Liver Steatosis and Insulin Resistance in Fatty Liver Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A 4‐Year Follow‐Up Cohort Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
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 ...

Short-term compliance to continuous positive airway pressure in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequent clinical problem. Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for OSA. Poor patient adherence to PAP therapy is commonly reported.

The Association of Upper Airway Anatomy and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Response in OSA

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
CT‐derived measurements of tongue and craniofacial anatomy were evaluated in adults undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea. Relative tongue volume was not significantly associated with treatment response. Exploratory analyses suggest that other anatomic features such as hyoid positions or transverse maxillary dimensions ...

Corticosteroid Exposure in Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Global Airway Disease: Adrenal and Bone Impact

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate cumulative corticosteroid (CC) burden in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), with or without coexisting asthma (global airway disease, GAD), referred for biologic treatment, and to assess the prevalence of CC‐related comorbidities, including secondary adrenal insufficiency, osteopenia and ...

Endoscopic Suture Ligation and Sclerotherapy for Pharyngolaryngeal Venous Malformation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated suture ligation combined with sclerotherapy in 53 patients with pharyngolaryngeal venous malformations. A single procedure achieved complete resolution in 79.25% of cases, with no serious complications or need for prophylactic tracheostomy.

Validation of the TruBlue Light Laser for Laryngeal Somatosensory and Perturbation Testing

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study validates a blue light laser method for assessing laryngeal somatosensory function by measuring perceptual thresholds, reflexive responses, discrimination acuity, and vocal perturbations in healthy adults. Results demonstrate that the method provides precise, reliable stimulation and yields quantifiable sensory and acoustic responses ...

Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We developed a subject‐specific FE model to investigate how ACS stabilizes the upper airway in OSA. Simulations demonstrate that caudal traction applied through the hyolaryngeal complex produces coordinated multilevel airway stabilization, with pronounced effects at the retropalatal and retro‐epiglottic regions under physiologic loading.

Neighborhood Deprivation and Voice and Reflux Symptom Burden in a Tertiary Laryngology Cohort

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The voice handicap index‐10 (VHI‐10) and reflux symptoms index (RSI) are validated, patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) commonly used in laryngology to assess the subjective impact of voice disorders and severity of symptoms associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux, respectively.
