Feasibility of Imaging the Uvula at the Midtrimester Anomaly Ultrasound

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The fetal palate is not routinely imaged as part of the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound, despite being associated with many syndromes. The “equal sign” depicts the lateral borders of the uvula on 2‐dimensional fetal ultrasound. We assessed the feasibility of adding the equal sign to the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound.

Transoral Robotic Lingual Tonsillectomy for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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).

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing identified Histoplasma capsulatum in the lung and epiglottis of a Chinese patient: A case report

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Histoplasmosis is an endemic disease mainly occurring in North America and is rare in China. Confirmation of histoplasmosis should be based on a compatible clinical scenario and a positive culture or histopathology.

The Application of Airtraq (fibreoptic intubation device) to Otolaryngology [PDF]

, 2011
The anaesthetic laryngoscope Airtraq is designed for the difficult airway. This disposable laryngoscope requires minimal cervical manipulation and unlike other common anaesthetic larynmgoscopes contains a channel for the guidance of an endotracheal tube.

Upper Airway Obstruction due to Kaposi Sarcoma—Presenting Sign of HIV: Case Report and Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study presents a case of undiagnosed HIV presenting with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) of the head and neck with acute upper airway obstruction (UAO) and provides an updated scoping literature review to examine the patient characteristics, lesion characteristics, interventions, and outcomes of KS cases with UAO from the pharynx, larynx, and/or trachea.

An interesting clinical association of short neck with an unusual laryngeal anomaly

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2011
An elongated high-rising epiglottis can represent a normal variation of the larynx in a majority of pediatric patients. However, there are virtually no reports available for visible or high-rising epiglottis on routine oral examination in adult patients ...

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 ...

Liquid Dynamics in the Upper Respiratory–Digestive System with Contracting Pharynx Motions and Varying Epiglottis Angles

Liquids
Swallowing disorders, or dysphagia, can lead to bolus aspiration in the airway, causing serious adverse health effects. Current clinical interventions for dysphagia are mainly empirical and often based on symptoms rather than etiology, of which a ...

OSA Endotyping as Targets for Treatment. How Far Have We Come?

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is highly prevalent and is associated with significant impairments in quality of life and comorbidity. The most common treatment employed is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), especially in moderate and severe cases.
