Increased upper airway collapsibility in children with obstructive sleep apnea during wakefulness.
Upper airway collapsibility (UAC) is increased in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), but during wakefulness, active neural processes preserve upper airway patency, such that measurement of upper airway dynamics using acoustic pharyngometry may contribute to diagnostic accuracy in snoring children. Upper airway cross-sectional area obtained from acoustic pharyngometry measurements w...

The literature indicates that upper-airway compromise produces chronic mouth breathing, especially in the dolichocephalic (narrow-faced) child. It has been shown that a greater tendency exists toward the skeletal pattern associated with long face syndrome in dolichocephalic head types. Therefore, it becomes difficult...

متن کاملAn evidence for the decrease of body muscle mass due to thyrotoxicosis and long term steroid therapy by means of height, weight and upper arm circumference measurements.
A weight-corrected UAC of 109 males and 292 females with untreated thyrotoxicosis was compared with that of the same number of control subjects. Control subjects were chosen from the subjects without apparent diseases; one control for one patient with about the same age, height and weight. The mean value of the weight-corrected UAC in thyrotoxic patients was 25.4cm both in males and females. Th...
