Customized nasal prosthesis in continuous positive airway pressure treatment, current trend in treating obstructive sleep apnea for better patient compliance

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2019
Snoring is common disorder in India, which is caused due to obstructive sleep apnea. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment for this condition.

Analysis of Upper Airway Morphology Using Four‐Dimensional Dynamic MRI With Active Deep Learning‐Based Automatic Segmentation

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Upper‐airway morphology changes during breathing can be captured with cine 4D MRI. Active‐learning nnU‐Net reduces manual labeling while maintaining accuracy. Purpose For automatic upper airway segmentation on free‐breathing cine 4D MRI using active learning and quantifying dynamic changes under two mouth positions.

Cost‐Utility Analysis of Intracapsular and Extracapsular Techniques for Pediatric Tonsillectomy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Intracapsular coblation tonsillectomy (ICT) is more cost‐effective than extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT) in pediatric patients, particularly for ambulatory procedures. In a prospective cohort of over 5000 cases, ICT was associated with lower costs and comparable or better quality‐adjusted life years, even when accounting for potential revision ...

Early Surgery Reduces Psychiatric and Learning Disorder Risk in Pediatric Sleep‐Disordered Breathing

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether the type and timing of intervention for pediatric sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) affect the risk of developing neuropsychiatric and learning disorders. Methods A retrospective cohort study using TriNetX, from January 2016 to March 2025, was conducted.

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.

Characterizing Secondary Velopharyngeal Surgery in Children With Cleft Palate at an Academic Center

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this retrospective study of children undergoing primary palatoplasty at a single academic institution, 10.8% required secondary surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that private insurance was associated with decreased odds of secondary surgery, while Asian race was associated with increased odds.

Evaluation of human obstructive sleep apnea using computational fluid dynamics. [PDF]

, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models constructed from CT scans coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...

Hazards to avoid in future neonatal studies of nasal high‑frequency oscillatory ventilation: lessons from an early terminated trial [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether nasal high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) started immediately after extubation of mechanically ventilated very low birth weight infants reduces the partial pressure of carbon dioxide at 72 h after ...
