To compare the efficacy of surgical treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) involving a standalone modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (mUPPP) and radiofrequency coblation inferior turbinoplasty with mUPPP. In this study, a retrospective analysis of 79 OSAHS patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy and oropharyngeal obstruction undergoing surgical treatment was performed. According to the different surgical methods, the patients were divided into 2 groups (Group A and Group B).

Background And Objectives: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is generally associated with focal brain atrophy, but little knowledge exists on possible disease-related hypertrophy of brain structures. We hypothesized that repeated seizures or adaptive plasticity may lead to focal brain hypertrophy and aimed to investigate associated clinical correlates.

Methods: In this cohort study, we included patients with mTLE undergoing detailed epilepsy evaluations and matched healthy volunteers (HVs) from 2 tertiary centers (discovery and validation cohorts).

Background: In children and adults with sickle-cell disease (SCD), acute ischemic stroke (AIS) associated with a vaso-occlusive crisis is a leading cause of physical and cognitive disability and death. However, neurological guidelines for acute management of AIS fail to directly address this issue. We here report a case of a man with severe cerebrovascular complications and illustrate the current evidence on the management of SCD-related AIS.

Objectives: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) preconditioning on podocytes and phosphatase and tension homologous protein (PTEN)/phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway in rats with type 2 diabetic kidney injury, so as to explore its potential mechanisms.

Methods: Fifty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, model, EA, inhibitor, and sham EA groups, with 10 rats in each group. Diabetes model was established by high-fat and high-sugar diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg).

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Henry Ford Health, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.

Background: Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a poorly understood condition that affects a minority of patients who undergo inferior turbinate (IT) surgery. The Empty Nose Syndrome 6-item Questionnaire (ENS6Q) was validated to diagnose ENS following IT reduction, with an ENS6Q ≥ 11 being suggestive of ENS. Medial flap turbinoplasty (MFT) involves IT bone removal ± submucosal reduction (SMR) and is highly effective at surgically treating IT hypertrophy.
