OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine the prevalence of residual obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children who had adenotonsillectomy (AT) and to identify the risk factors for residual OSA after AT. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Children with OSA who had AT at a tertiary care children's hospital were reviewed. Data pertaining to demographics, past medical history, body mass ...

a comprehensive evaluation of the residual levels of organochlorine insecticides (ocis) in the sediment cores of cochin estuarine system (ces) is highlighted in this research article. it assessed the distribution pattern and impact of these xenobiotics in this environmental niche. fifteen persistent organochlorine compounds (ocs) were quantitatively analysed in the six sediment core samples col...

Acquired and inherited thrombophilic factors increase the risk for (recurrent) venous thrombotic disease. However, little is known about the pathophysiological mechanisms causing these recurrences, or the persistence of thrombosis despite adequate treatment. Because residual thrombosis has been associated with a worse prognostic outcome, we performed an explorative study in order to investigate...

CONTEXT The long-term risk for developing hypertension is best described by the lifetime risk statistic. The lifetime risk for hypertension and trends in this risk over time are unknown. OBJECTIVES To estimate the residual lifetime risk for hypertension in older US adults and to evaluate temporal trends in this risk. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Community-based prospective cohort study...

Although partial thyroidectomy has lower operative risk, it potentially caries the risk of leaving residual malignancy. The aim of this study was to establish malignancy rate in residual thyroid tissue in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who underwent partial thyroid surgery and subsequently had completion thyroidectomy. We also investigated a number of clinical and biochemical...

Abstract Background The clinical value of carotid atherosclerosis markers for residual risk stratification in high atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients is not established. Purpose In the present study we aimed to derive and validate optimal values subclinical improving guidelines-defined ASCVD patients. Methods We consecutively analysed or very from a (CV) prevention registry...
