Modified Sleep Apnea Severity Index and Cardiovascular Risk in CPAP‐Intolerant OSA Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The modified sleep apnea severity index (mSASI) combines patient anatomy, weight, sleep study metrics, and symptoms into a composite OSA index ranging from 1 (least severe) to 3 (most severe). Our study found that mSASI correlated better with baseline cardiovascular risk measured by the 5‐year Framingham Risk Score compared to the AHI.

Unilateral mastication‐induced memory deficits linked to disrupted hippocampal cholesterol metabolism in rats

VIEW, EarlyView.
Unilateral mastication, a common oral habit, induces cognitive decline in rats by disrupting hippocampal cholesterol metabolism. It triggers astrocyte hyperplasia, enhances cholesterol synthesis, impairs transport/degradation, and reduces 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC), ultimately damaging synaptic function.

Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea (2024)

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder characterized by abnormal breathing during sleeping. OSA can damage various organs throughout the body and is burdensome, both socially and economically. Moreover, as OSA has been increasingly studied in recent years, new evidence‐based guidelines for its diagnosis and surgical ...

Isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy in Behçet's disease.

Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore, 1998
Isolated hypoglossal nerve paresis as a manifestation of Behcet's disease has not been reported. We describe a 42-year-old man with isolated unilateral hypoglossal nerve paresis, who had had a five-year history of recurrent orogenital aphthae and relapsing arthritic manifestations.

Use of a 3D‐printed custom‐designed tracheostomy tube to stabilise a permanent tracheostoma in a 25‐year‐old Icelandic mare

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 25‐year‐old Icelandic mare diagnosed with bilateral temporohyoid‐osteoarthropathy, moderate pharyngeal instability and bilateral laryngeal paralysis was presented because of intermittent stridor and dyspnoea worsening during exercise. As a previous ceratohyoidectomy had not improved these symptoms substantially, a permanent tracheostomy was ...

Adult neural stem cells and their differentiation choices : examples from experimental inflammation and transplantation [PDF]

, 2014
The aim of this thesis is to study how inflammation influences the fate of NPCs, which can impact the regenerative capacities of the CNS. In paper I, we used a hypoglossal nerve avulsion model, to study if survival, differentiation, and ...
