Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Outcomes

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The effectiveness of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) for residual obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with prior bariatric surgery (BS) has not been previously reported. We evaluate and compare HGNS outcomes in this unique population.

Does A Short, Thick Neck Predict Obstructive Sleep Apnea?: The Role of Physical Examination in OSA Screening [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a short neck, alone or together with a thick neck, can predict obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Overnight Monitoring After T&A for Children Ages 24–36 Months: Is It Always Necessary?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aims to identify whether all children < 3 years of age require overnight admission after tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy. We found that 98.7% of children who were off oxygen within 3 h after surgery never went back on oxygen during the entire monitoring period.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Emerging Treatments Targeting the Genioglossus Muscle [PDF]

, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction caused by a loss of upper airway dilator muscle tone during sleep and an inadequate compensatory response by these muscles in the context of an anatomically

Mortality‐risk‐based apnea–hypopnea index thresholds for diagnostics of obstructive sleep apnea

Journal of Sleep Research, 2019
The severity of obstructive sleep apnea is clinically assessed mainly using the apnea–hypopnea index. Based on the apnea–hypopnea index, patients are classified into four severity groups: non‐obstructive sleep apnea (apnea–hypopnea index

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).

Stridor Is an Independent Risk Factor for Mortality and Disease Progression in Patients with Multiple System Atrophy

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aim Stridor and sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) are common in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Retrospective cohort studies have yielded conflicting results regarding the consequences of stridor and SAS on the disease course. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of stridor and SAS, as well as the potential survival ...
