Purpose: Using cone-beam CT (CBCT) and Invivo5 software to measure the oropharyngeal airway volume and hyoid position of adults Class III skeletal malocclusion and analyze the influence of the maxillary or mandibular position, in order to evaluate oropharynx airway volume and hyoid position ,and provide guidance for reasonable and effective treatment.
Methods: One hundred and eighty cases were randomly selected from CBCT data and divided into three groups. Invivo5 software was used to rebuild 3D image data and establish a 3D coordinate system, then to measure OPV and hyoid position. LSD t test was performed between each group with SPSS 19.0 software package.
Results: OPV for mandibular protrusion of Class III was significantly higher than maxillary retrusion of Class III and Class I (P<0.05), whereas no difference existed between Class I and maxillary retrusion of Class III; H-VPS had significant difference as follows: mandibular retrusion of Class III, maxillary retrusion of Class III,and Class I (P<0.05); H-PS in mandibular protrusion of Class III was significantly higher than maxillary retrusion of Class III and Class I (P<0.05), whereas no difference existed between Class I and maxillary retrusion of Class III.
Conclusions: The three-dimensional features of airway were different as adults have different types of skeletal malocclusion. The mandibular sagittal position and length had more significant influences on pharyngeal airway volume, shape, direction, and hyoid sagittal position compared with the maxilla. CBCT and Invivo5 are practical tools for evaluation of airway, which can provide clinical evaluation of the three-dimensional features of airway and hyoid position of different skeletal malocclusion, and provide guidance in the formulation of reasonable and effective treatment plan.

Elevating Patient Care With Deep Learning: High-Resolution Cervical Auscultation Signals for Swallowing Kinematic Analysis in Nasogastric Tube Patients.
IEEE J Transl Eng Health Med
December 2024
Patients with nasogastric (NG) tubes require careful monitoring due to the potential impact of the tube on their ability to swallow safely. This study aimed to investigate the utility of high-resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA) signals in assessing swallowing functionality of patients using feeding tubes. HRCA, capturing swallowing vibratory and acoustic signals, has been explored as a surrogate for videofluoroscopy image analysis in previous research.

Purpose: Our study aims to determine the position and types of the hyoid bone and to evaluate the morphometry of the hyoid bone and tongue according to sex.
Methods: Our study included cervical Computed Tomography (CT) images of 200 individuals (100 females, 100 males) between the ages of 18 and 84. Using the 3D Slicer software package, hyoid bone position, shape, area, volume and tongue volume measurements were made on these images.
CBCT Analysis of the Hyoid and Pharyngeal Airway Changes in Class III Patients With Orthognathic Surgery.

School of Dentistry, University of Dundee, Dundee, UK.
Aim: This study was designed to investigate the response of the respiratory structures to orthognathic surgery in patients with Class III malocclusion, with a specific emphasis on the vertical placement of the hyoid bone. The correlations of these changes were also analysed, followed by further subgroup analyses based on preoperative conditions.
Materials And Methods: Dolphin software was used to obtain cephalometric landmarks, airway and hyoid bone measurements from pre- and postoperative CBCT scans of 31 patients.

Objective: To evaluate the pharyngeal airway width and hyoid bone position in children with class II malocclusion and a positive history of sleep problems.
Methods: 60 children aged 8-12 years with skeletal class II malocclusion were segregated into two groups according to the existence of sleep problems: 30 participants with sleep disorders constituted the study group, while 30 participants without sleep disorders formed the control group. Pharyngeal airway space and hyoid bone position were evaluated via a clinical and radiographic examination.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the tongue body shape and upper airway anatomical parameters in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and to explore the anatomical causes of OSA.
Methods: A total of 345 subjects participated in this study. Lateral pharyngeal images of the upper respiratory tract were captured in both normal and mandibular advancement states using X-ray plain film.
