Implementing the Palatal Plate for Robin Sequence Beyond the Originating Center: How I Do It

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 6, Page 2801-2804, June 2026.
The treatment of upper airway obstruction in newborns with Robin sequence (RS) is challenging. We report our experience implementing the minimally invasive Tübingen palatal plate in a pediatric tertiary care center, detailing a step‐by‐step protocol and clinical outcomes from our first patient series.

Power spectral analysis of the sleep electroencephalogram in positional obstructive sleep apnea

Sleep Medicine, 2023
Previous studies have shown that obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with reduced delta EEG and increased beta EEG power and increased EEG slowing ratio. There are however no studies that explore differences in sleep EEG between positional obstructive sleep apnoea (pOSA) and non-positional obstructive sleep apnoea (non-pOSA) patients.556 of ...

Upper airway dimensions in patients with craniocervical junction malformations with and without sleep apnea. A pilot case-control study [PDF]

, 2015
Objective: Patients with craniocervical junction malformations (CCJM) tend to suffer more frequently from sleep respiratory disturbances, which are more frequent and severe in patients with basilar invagination. Here we evaluate if patients with CCJM and

Horizontal Heart Orientation as a Mechanistic Contributor to Platypnea–Orthodeoxia Syndrome in Patent Foramen Ovale

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Altered cardiac orientation in the presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) can contribute to platypnea–orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) and unexplained hypoxemia. In such cases, consideration of PFO closure may lead to significant clinical improvement.
