Introduction: Few studies have addressed long-term quality of life related to residual snoring after adenotonsillectomy. The aim of this study was to compare scores from the OSA-18 questionnaire between children with residual snoring and non-snoring children two or more years after adenotonsillectomy.
Material And Methods: The sample comprised 25 children divided into two groups, a group of 14 snoring children, and a control group of 11 non-snoring children. The OSA-18 questionnaire was applied to the volunteers. In the control group, it was completed by the caregivers of the children, while in individuals with residual snoring it was completed by the caregivers of children in the presence of a doctor or dentist. A statistical comparison was made using a generalized linear model.
Results: The snorer group had a higher total OSA-18 score, and a higher score in all five domains compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Children with residual snoring two or more years after adenotonsillectomy may have a worse quality of life compared to the control group.

Unlabelled: Despite the established associations between sleep-related traits and major diseases, comprehensive assessment on affected disease modules and their genetic determinants is lacking. Using multiple correspondence analysis and the k-means clustering algorithm, 235,826 eligible participants were clustered into distinct unfavorable sleep patterns [short sleep duration ( = 10,073), snoring (22,419), insomnia (102,771), insomnia and snoring (62,909)] and favorable sleep pattern groups (37,654). The associations of unfavorable sleep patterns with 134 diseases were estimated using Cox regression models; and comorbidity network analyses were applied for disease module identification.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to clarify the relationship between snoring and keratoconus (KCN), highlighting its importance for prevention and treatment.
- It uses a two-sample Mendelian randomization method analyzing genetic data from large cohorts to explore if snoring causes KCN.
- Findings indicate that there is a significant causal effect of snoring on KCN, suggesting that managing snoring may help in treating or preventing this eye condition.

To investigate the long-term effect of partial tonsillectomy in children with tonsil hypertrophy. A total of 146 children with obstructive sleep apnea（OSA） who received surgical treatment for tonsil hyperplasia from January 2010 to January 2013 were selected and divided into the observation group（=69） and the control group（=77）. The observation group was received tonsillotomy（TT）, and the control group was received total tonsillectomy（TE）.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how genetic risks and sleep quality interact to influence the acceleration of biological aging among over 400,000 participants from the UK Biobank.
- Participants were evaluated on various sleep behaviors, and their biological ages were calculated to determine age acceleration.
- Results showed that improved sleep quality significantly reduces biological age acceleration, particularly for individuals with high genetic risk.
Genetically Predicted Sleep Traits and Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Objective: Observational studies suggest a potential association between sleep characteristics, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), and sudden SNHL (SSNHL), but causal evidence is scarce. We sought to clarify this issue using two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.
Methods: The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was performed as primary analysis to assess bidirectional causal associations between sleep traits (chronotype, sleep duration, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and snoring) and SNHL/SSNHL using publicly available Genome-Wide Association Studies summary data from two large consortia (UK Biobank and FinnGen).
