Coblation Versus Radiofrequency for Tongue Base Reduction in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Meta-analysis.

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety profile of coblation tongue base reduction (CBTR) compared to radiofrequency base of tongue (RFBOT) reduction on sleep-related outcomes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Data Sources: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews databases.

Review Methods: Literature search by 2 independent authors was conducted using the abovementioned databases.

Chemical conditioning approach to post-treat temperature-phased anaerobic digestate to improve resource recovery, odour reduction and biosolids quality.

Biosolids has several challenges, such as its high water content, huge volume, odour, and pathogen presence. Regulations require biosolids to be reused and disposed of safely. Polymer conditioning focuses on volume reduction, leaving pathogen and odour reduction unaddressed.

Dermatologic, Orthopedic, and Cardiovascular Manifestations and Management in a Geriatric Patient With Dermatosparaxis-Type Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Case Report.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a diverse group of hereditary connective tissue disorders resulting from mutations in genes involved in the synthesis and metabolism of collagens. Collagen, a structural protein in the connective tissues, plays an important role in maintaining the integrity and strength of various tissues, including the skin, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and blood vessels. As such, EDS is characterized by joint hypermobility, skin elasticity, and tissue fragility.

Standardized List Evaluating Apnea (SLEAP): A Comprehensive Survey to Define the Quality of Life in OSA.

Objective: To develop and validate a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Study Design: A prospective cohort study.

Settings: Tertiary referral center.

Atypical Presentation of Oronasal Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) in an Immunocompromised Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) typically presents with characteristic mucocutaneous vesicular lesions. However, atypical manifestations can occur and can be challenging to diagnose, especially in immunocompromised individuals. This case report describes a nine-year-old immunocompromised girl who developed a left nasal vestibular ulcer covered by hemorrhagic crustation and granulation tissue, progressively worsening to a friable exophytic lesion with intact nasal mucosa.
