Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in patients with Down syndrome usually relieves symptoms of upper airway obstruction due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy. A retrospective review of 16 patients with Down syndrome who underwent a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy was conducted to define early postoperative morbidity, and to evaluate the results of the procedure.

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that galactose-deficient IgA1 (GdIgA1) has an important role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Although emerging data suggest that serum GdIgA1 can be a useful non-invasive IgAN biomarker, the localization of nephritogenic GdIgA1-producing B cells remains unclear. Recent clinical and experimental studies indicate that immune activation tonsillar...
