AI Article Synopsis
- Obstructive adenoid hypertrophy contributes to mouth breathing and affects the development of oral structures, which the study aimed to investigate through dental arch measurements in children.
- A study with 86 children assessed adenoid obstruction levels using specific radiographic methods and analyzed dental relations using statistical tests.
- Results indicated that children with obstructive adenoids had shorter posterior mandibular lengths, greater overbites, and those with severe obstruction (grade 4) showed increased arch depth and open bite prevalence, highlighting the need for preventive programs involving both otorhinolaryngologists and orthodontists.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Obstructive adenoid hypertrophy is cited as one of the causes of mouth breathing and leads to disharmony in the development of orofacial structures. The objective of this study was to compare the measurements of dental arches according to the grade and the obstructive character of adenoids.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 86 children. The grade and the obstructive character of adenoids were determined from Holmberg and Cohen's radiographic methods respectively. Dental arch measurements were taken on dental casts. A t-test and a Chi test were performed respectively to compare the quantitative and qualitative variables of dental arches according to the obstructive character. An Anova test made it possible to compare the quantitative variables according to the grade as Holmberg defined it. For variables that showed significant differences, a Post Hoc test was used. The significance level was set at P=0.05.
Results: Subjects with obstructive adenoids had a shorter posterior mandibular length (P=0.04) and a greater overbite (P=0.04) than those with non-obstructive adenoids. Those with grade 4 had a greater arch depth (P=0.02) and were more prone to open bite(P=0.03).
Conclusion: A prevention program involving the otorhinolaryngologist and the orthodontist for subjects with obstructive adenoids or grade 4 is necessary to minimize their influence on dental arch relationships.

BACKGROUND Brunneromas are among the rarest benign tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract. They arise from the Brunner's glands and patients have a good prognosis if treated timely and radically. Because symptoms are rare, their diagnosis can be challenging, especially regarding the smaller ones.

Benign prostate hyperplasia is the leading cause of lower urinary tract symptoms due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in elderly male patients. The impact of prostate volume (PV) on clinical and urodynamic characteristics was evaluated in those patients with BOO requiring prostate de-obstruction maneuvers in this study. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 301 patients underwent transurethral resection of prostate due to combination with urinary retention (UR) alone and bladder stone (BS) alone.

Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine malignancy. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is its predominant subtype, which is responsible for the vast majority of cases. It is true that PTC is a malignant tumor with a very good prognosis due to effective primary therapeutic approaches such as thyroidectomy and radioiodine (RAI) therapy.

Study Objectives: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and is associated with worse outcomes. This study aims to compare the outcomes of polysomnography (PSG) performed for pediatric patients with SCD at three United States centers.
Methods: We included children with SCD aged 0-21 who underwent PSG at three American Academy of Sleep Medicine accredited centers: the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), the University of Florida (UF), and Duke University Hospital (DUH), between 2012 and 2022.
