Anatomic measures of upper airway structures in obstructive sleep apnea☆
Objective Determine if anatomic dimensions of airway structures are associated with airway obstruction in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Methods Twenty-eight subjects with (n = 14) and without (n = 14) OSA as determined by clinical symptoms and sleep studies; volunteer sample. Skeletal and soft tissue dimensions were measured from radiocephalometry and magnetic resonance imaging. The...
متن کاملTwo-point palatal discrimination in patients with upper airway resistance syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and normal control subjects.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare the results of a two-point palatal discrimination response in normal subjects (n = 15), patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) [n = 15], and patients with upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) [n = 15] matched for age, sex, and body mass index. DESIGN Comparison study of three subject groups. SETTING A sleep-disorders clinic. SUBJECTS Participan...
متن کاملUpper Airway Evaluation in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly common disease with pathophysiology based on the interaction of multiple factors. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered as the treatment of choice for OSA syndrome, but poor patient acceptance and compliance remain problematic. Surgical procedures are developed to alter the offending anatomic abnormalities responsible for OSA. ...
متن کاملHeritability of craniofacial structures in normal subjects and patients with sleep apnea.
OBJECTIVES Accumulating evidence has shown that there is a genetic contribution to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).The objectives were to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cephalometry to (1) confirm heritability of craniofacial risk factors for OSA previously shown by cephalometrics; and (2) examine the heritability of new craniofacial structures that are measurable with MRI. DESIGN A sib p...
متن کاملoutcomes of upper airway surgery in obstructive sleep apnea
background and objective: obstructive sleep apnea (osa) is defined as a sleep disordered breathing due to partial or complete obstruction of upper airways. this study aimed to investigate treatment outcomes and clinical complications among patients with osa who underwent upper airway surgery in clinical settings. materials and methods: all patients undergone upper airway surgery for osa were ca...
