Snoring is a prima symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here, we add audio-based snoring features to improve the non-obtrusive assessment apnea, by estimating apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and classifying OSA severity. We propose novel quantify temporal changes between snores (snore rate variability) describe trends in snore energy, based on sounds from audio signals over full night. then com...

OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to evaluate the correlation between oropharyngeal examination and objective palatine tonsil volume in snoring adults and verify the influence of the oropharyngeal anatomy, body mass index, age, and severity of obstructive sleep apnea on actual tonsil volume. In addition, we aimed to assess the influence of tonsil size on obstructive sleep apnea in adults. ...

Introduction Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a common disorder among children which, without proper treatment, may lead to considerable problems. Although the consequences of this disorder have been studied in other articles, we decided to evaluate the changes in pulmonary function tests in these children after adenotonsillectomy, and the correlation between clinical and spirometric parameters.  ...

the purpose of this article is to introduce a new term, sleep prosthodontics, to the dental community and to differentiate airway analytics from sleep dentistry. sleep dentistry may be thought of as the study of an oral appliance and its impact on the airway. sleep prosthodontics is the study of airway and its impact on the stomatognathic system. in other words, sleep dentistry addresses the ho...

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine factors associated with Obstructıve Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) severity and vitamin D deficiency by examining routine laboratory parameters in patients OSAS without comorbidities. We also aimed see whether increased decreasing levels D. Material Method: Patients who presented Adana City Training Research Hospital, Ear Nose Throat Clinic symptoms snori...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and the relation between allergic rhinitis and the development of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and OSAS severity in patients with simple snoring and OSAS. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 80 patients (51 males, 29 females; mean age 45.4±8.1 years; range 18 to 69 years) who were admitted to our clinic with ...

Snoring is a common sleep-related behaviour. Increased body mass index (BMI), cranio-facial anatomical features, and older age have been linked to the occurrence of snoring. While mostly middle-aged populations have been studied for the occurrence of snoring and sleep-related breathing abnormality, this study was designed to assess the subjective report of snoring and the objective measurement ...

Background and Objectives Nasal obstruction has been assumed to be correlated with sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD). However, a definite correlation between nasal SRBD is still controversial. This study aimed define whether symptoms severity of the deviated septum nose (DSN) inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) are SRBD. Subjects Method retrospective 60 patients’ preoperative polysomno...
