A Narrative Review of the Clinical Trials in Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders from 2022 to Present.

Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) comprise obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), as well as isolated sleep-related hypoxemia (ISRH), according to the recent International Classification of Sleep Disorders 3. During the last decades, there have been cumulative research reports indicating an association between the SRBD and increased cardiometabolic illness and death, as well as decreased quality of life. Notwithstanding, the results have been inconclusive, and the evidence level was not high regarding the effect of treatment for the SRBD on adverse outcomes.

Effects of Esterified Hyaluronic Acid, Adipose Tissue, and Blood Glue on Survival of Diced Cartilage Grafts.

Objectives: Diced cartilage grafts are used for correcting nasal dorsal deformities and irregularities. However, cartilage resorption is among most common problems after rhinoplasty. The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the effects of esterified hyaluronic acid, adipose tissue, and blood glue on the viability of diced cartilage grafts.

Comparison of the clinical course of COVID-19 infection in sickle cell disease patients with healthcare professionals.

It is highly expected that COVID-19 infection will have devastating consequences in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients due to endothelial activation and decreased tissue and organ reserve as a result of microvascular ischemia and continuous inflammation. In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical course of COVID-19 in adult SCD patients under the organ injury mitigation and clinical care improvement program (BASCARE) with healthcare professionals without significant comorbid conditions. The study was planned as a retrospective, multicenter and cross-sectional study.

Percutaneous rhinolift procedure for droopy tip.

Objective: Droopy tip may lead to functional impairment due to nasal valve insufficiency. There are several techniques available in order to correct under rotated tip, including sutures, resection and grafting. The major drawback of these standart procedures is the correction of nasal cartilage framework rather than droopy skin envelope.

Change of respiratory functions, the STOP-Bang questionnaire, and Epworth sleepiness scale after bariatric surgery.

Introduction And Objective: Obesity is a highly morbid and fatal syndrome that reduces respiratory function. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder in morbid obesity. Herein, we aimed to determine how respiratory function tests changed over time after bariatric surgery and to assess non-PSG (polysomnography) tests, namely STOP-Bang questionnaire and Epworth sleepiness tests, for predicting OSAS risk.
