Transoral Robotic Lingual Tonsillectomy for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
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).

A Scoping Review of Recurrent Post‐Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage in Children
The goal of this scoping review was to analyze the incidence and risk factors for recurrent peritonsillar hemorrhage (PTH), and to map existing evidence to identify knowledge gaps. CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar, and Ovid Medline were searched.

Lipofuscin: The Missing Link in the Worsening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Lipofuscin, also known as the age pigment, is a permanent autofluorescent intracellular deposit that accumulates with aging or oxidative stress, thereby interfering with cellular function. This study revealed significantly larger deposits of lipofuscin in the lateral pharyngeal wall muscles of patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared

Home Sleep Endoscopy: Evaluating the Feasiblity of a Remote Diagnostic Tool
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects nearly one billion people worldwide. Natural sleep endoscopy (NSE) is the ideal standard for evaluating airway collapse under physiological sleep but has been unfeasible due to practical limitations. This study evaluates the feasibility of home‐based sleep endoscopy during natural sleep using a novel endoscope ...

ABSTRACT In the 1980s, researchers discovered the remarkable ability of electrospray plumes to effectively ionize gas‐phase molecules via secondary ionization. Around 20 years later—coinciding with the ambient mass spectrometry revolution—secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) and extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) coupled to mass spectrometry
