00b7142d-80f8-e47a-40d9-11a0b6c5cb7f | OSA remains a prevalent chronic disease that continues to be underdiagnosed and untreated. OSA has multifactorial pathophysiology causing an increased risk of CVD states, metabolic dysfunction, mortality, and reduced quality of life due to a multitude of factors. The prevalence of OSA is expected to rise globally due to increasing obesity and the aging population in the next 30 years. Clinicians need to become familiar with the epidemiology and pathophysiology to efficiently screen for OSA and initiate effective treatment to prevent further health complications. | Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults: What Primary Care Physicians Need to Know |
00b7f797-5dc8-fb0d-b6bd-1a7ab9b81305 | Endovascular therapy often offers another therapeutic option for these patients. The use of transcatheter interventions has improved access to surgically inaccessible vessels and has reduced the need for general anesthesia as well as reduced blood loss secondary to trauma [61]. The added benefit of performing endovascular therapy during angiography has increased its use in trauma patients and is used in conjunction with both medical therapy as well as in stabilizing patients prior to definitive surgical intervention. Transcatheter interventions can be categorized into embolization, stents, and stent grafts. | State of the art: noninvasive imaging and management of neurovascular trauma |
00b81d10-b297-6c1e-64c1-ead4fc5307e1 | A total of 556 patients consecutively admitted to the sleep laboratory between January 2012 and July 2012 who are with symptoms of nocturnal snoring and/or excess daytime sleepiness and who underwent a polysomnographic evaluation were retrospectively evaluated. Patients having AHİ < 5 were grouped as control and others were grouped according to their AHI value as mild, moderate, and severe OSAS. | Is Mean Platelet Volume Really a Severity Marker for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome without Comorbidities? |
00b93744-054f-51ef-4c0a-aafe8a6783c2 | It is vital to have additional information regarding the intricate anatomy of the submandibular region, a potential risk in implant surgery. This could better assist clinicians in implant planning decisions. So, a study was set up to look at the straight line between the MC and the MR and see if there was a link with the morphologic variables of SMF. The null hypothesis is that there is no linear relationship between the MR and the MC in the M1 and M2 regions. These findings can be used to project the average superio-inferior position of the MC, derive an anatomic average between the MC and the MR, and provide additional important information about implant length and angulation during the implant planning stage. The goals of the study were to find out the average distance between MC and MR in the mandibular M1 and M2 region on both sides, find out the morphologic variables of SMF undercut in terms of depth in the horizontal dimension, relative depth in the horizontal dimension, depth in the vertical dimension, angle, and relative angle, and find a relationship between the bone height between MC and MR and the anatomical variables of SMF. | Mylohyoid Ridge as a Predictor of Available Bone for Implant Placement: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Retrospective Observational Study |

00c6625c-8299-4764-5d6d-c67c4df32cd5 | To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first artificial neural network- based approach for automatic and accurate estimation of AHI and ODI using only a blood oxygen saturation signal. By first estimating the numeric values of AHI and ODI and determining the severity category of OSA based on those values, a more accurate estimation of the OSA severity can be achieved beyond the severity classification. In addition, the determination of the numeric value of AHI enables the neural network-estimated OSA severity to be directly compared to OSA severity assessed by standard manual scoring. | Artificial neural network analysis of the oxygen saturation signal enables accurate diagnostics of sleep apnea |
00c95703-eaad-d98e-36e5-e51e1f75b4b1 | The hippocampus is central to working and episodic memory and is critically affected by diverse disease processes. To investigate hippocampal electrophysiology in translational large animal models, we developed an imaging-free stereotaxis and intraoperative electrophysiology methodology with custom silicon probes to precisely localize probe placement within the hippocampal laminar structure. We report for the first time the profile of single units and local field potentials in the pig dorsal hippocampus and relate them to a histologic description. This characterization forms the basis for accessible translational pig models to study diseases of the central nervous system affecting hippocampal circuitry in the large animal gyrencephalic brain, as well as the groundwork for potential awake behaving neurophysiology of the porcine hippocampus. | Electrophysiological Signature Reveals Laminar Structure of the Porcine Hippocampus |
00cc6316-6b42-0e71-5594-4c3ef1879048 | The posterior maxilla is often a complicated area for implant placement due to low quality or quantity of bone. To increase the amount of bone and improve the implants fixation, it is usually performed maxillary sinus floor elevation techniques which actually are predictable procedures that allow the creation of new bone improving primary stability and future osseointegration. | Osteotome sinus floor elevation without grafting material: Results of a 2-year prospective study |

00d09529-f51f-c934-fbb1-95dda2111ef8 | The result of multiple regression showed that the smoking habit was not the independent factor for the cost of OC patient. But the proportion of smoker in late stage was higher than that of early stage and the proportion of smoker in SCC was obviously higher than other group. These results indicated that smoking were associated with stage and pathology of OC and would associate with the cost of OC patient indirectly. | Epidemiology and cost analysis for patients with oral cancer in a university hospital in China |
00d0d06a-0d0b-7a06-ca3a-b3891f50dbef | As already highlighted above, the relatively small number of cases is due to the fact that there are few patients with class III skeletal malocclusion in which there is an indication of an isolated mandibular setback surgery. | Upper Airway Changes and OSAS Risk in Patients after Mandibular Setback Surgery to Treat III Class Skeletal Malocclusion |
00d1bb15-153b-71e3-c7b5-5f34c276f451 | Poor sleep quality is common among nurses. This problem possibly results in negative emotional and psychological consequences in nurses which secondary affect their work performances. However, in Ethiopia, there is a paucity of information about poor sleep quality and associated factors among nurses.

00da5508-88e7-5b3f-27e6-8b454067d50b | It is critical to understand, at both the clinical and population level the determinants of the transition in health service utilization in the late life course. Transitions, in this study, refer to changes in the pattern of health service utilization over time, particularly in relation to the number of health service utilization events an individual experiences over a set period of time. It is likely that this is a dynamic process influenced by a large number of factors including changes in health status. Transitions in health services utilization can be understood as events in a dynamic system occurring with measurable probability. These probabilities may vary by the age and gender of the individual. | Measuring change in health status of older adults at the population level: The transition probability model |
00db4f1d-2f8d-fc1c-4d69-8e9b9295f1ef | The findings of this study demonstrate that odontoblasts may be exposed to cytotoxic concentrations of HP and free oxygen radicals during teeth whitening, with molars being the tooth type at the highest risk. | Hydrogen Peroxide Diffusion through Dental Tissues—In Vitro Study |
00dc35c2-be41-e7f0-b6a0-ca78d288a4df | Historically, the dental pulp was believed to be very vulnerable to tissue insult from bacterial carious attack and the resulting inflammation. The low compliance dentinal walls and lack of collateral circulation was thought to limit the ability of pulp tissue to accommodate increases in intra-pulpal pressure or effectively deliver humoral and cellular immune components to the injured site. The diagnostic consensus was that cariously exposed pulp in mature permanent teeth should be considered irreversibly inflamed based on the rationale that the underlying inflammation has spread throughout the pulp tissue and the restricted blood supply through the closed apices of mature teeth would not be enough to promote healing, even if the tissue insult is removed.2 However, studies have shown that dental pulp can not only accommodate moderate increases in intra-pulpal pressure during inflammation,5,6 but that the dental pulp also has an effective immune defence response.7,8,9 | Minimally invasive endodontics: a new era for pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth |

00e3368b-c3a7-0c88-8096-c5d0f1e4706b | Intraoperative risk factors for bleeding include a long aortic cross-clamp time and large blood loss requiring massive blood transfusion and fluid replacement. Bleeding from the disruption of aortic graft anastomoses is a major surgical concern after open aortic repair. Strict blood pressure control is imperative until the risk of surgical postoperative hemorrhage is low enough to allow for a return to the patient’s preoperative hemodynamic profile. When a massive red blood cell transfusion is required, a resuscitation approach using fresh frozen plasma is beneficial in reducing the intravascular depletion of clotting factors [15]. | Postoperative Intensive Care Management of Aortic Repair |
00e6903b-497a-36b4-92c4-f0459607b98f | Another great advantage of this system is that all steps in the diagnosis and therapy of the patient are traceable at any time. If surgical obstacles arise intraoperatively, an alternative procedure with this system can be carried out with a minimum of effort and the complete tumor resection can still be ensured. Thus, the goal of improving the success of the treatment, optimization of interdisciplinary collaboration and the patient’s quality of life through complete tumor resection and adequate reconstruction is retained. | Advances in the Resection and Reconstruction of Midfacial Tumors Through Computer Assisted Surgery |

The model is based on a numerical analysis tool whose field of application is nonlinear dynamic systems. This innovative approach can potentially provide a translatable analysis methodology for assessing central pharmacodynamic effect and bridge the preclinical and clinical EEG observations. | Evidence of a pharmacodynamic EEG profile in rats following clonidine administration using a nonlinear analysis |

00f1bf6e-56e9-fff4-5e4c-1e075ad7f927 | The mandibular inter-mental area is assumed to be a safe area for implant insertion and is involved in many other surgical procedures. It is essential to understand the anatomy of the region for avoiding injuries to the neurovascular bundles. Provided that the inferior alveolar or mental nerve is damaged during preparation of an osteotomy, sensory dysfunction appears due to nerve damage in the foraminal area. Recently developed all-on-four procedure permits a quick placement of 4 dental implants in the interforaminal area of the lower jaw associated with a fixed bridge during only one appointment. The mental foramen is a strategically important landmark during osteotomy procedures. The inferior alveolar nerve may extend beyond the mental foramen as an intraosseous anterior loop. The location of foramen, as well as, the possibility that an anterior loop of the mental nerve may be present mesial to the mental foramen need to be considered before implant surgery to avoid mental nerve injury. The mandibular canal contains the inferior alveolar nerve and blood vessels and is divided into mental and incisive segments between the roots of premolars. The mental canal deviates toward the mental foramen. However, the incisive canal continues below the incisor teeth where it generally is divided into a plexus of nerve branches until its main trunk is lost (1-3). In this area lingual foramen is also present that is located in the midline, leveled with or superior to the genial tubercles. The foramen has a branch of the incisive artery that anastomosis with the lingual artery (4). | Characteristics of anatomical landmarks in the mandibular interforaminal region: A cone-beam computed tomography study |
00fb7c47-deb8-9985-1145-a9ea21e83785 | Probabilistic fasteners are biologically inspired clamping devices that are interlocked by stems on each surface. Due to dynamic characteristics of fastening mechanism, friction inevitably occurs between stems in a vibrating environment. The use of the probabilistic fastener as a vibration reduction component were investigated with advantages from friction-induced damping in this study. The dynamic stiffness and loss factor of the probabilistic fastener were derived from the vibration interaction with a mechanical structure. This allowed determination of energy dissipation due to the friction in hook and loop from the wave propagation analysis. As the vibration amplitude increased, the loss factor of the fastener gradually increased because the friction between multiple stems increased. With the probabilistic fastener application, the vibration generation and transmission were reduced compared to the bolted joint due to the inherent frictional contacts. With this unique advantage, the probabilistic fastener has potential applications when large damping is required with additional benefit on the reduced weight. | Use of probabilistic fastener velcro as a friction-induced vibration damping treatment |

01069279-f0b6-951c-b55a-488ce2639bae | Contrary to the large light-induced NREM sleep promotion, REM sleep is affected to a far lesser extent by light–dark alternation under short-duration ultradian LD cycle. Given that REM sleep appears only after a consistent period of NREM sleep, short light pulses could be sufficient to promote NREM sleep but longer exposures might be necessary to significantly promote REM sleep. This hypothesis is supported by our results obtained under the T7 cycle, where REM sleep is significantly increased during light pulses compared to dark exposures. These data suggest that REM sleep induction by light might be secondary to the NREM sleep induction. | Direct Effects of Light on Sleep under Ultradian Light-Dark Cycles Depend on Circadian Time and Pulses Duration |
010ca4f9-5536-4231-d3a1-ec486ba42e70 | In this study, to evaluate changes in the neuromuscular activity, the ssEMG values taken at baseline were considered as reference for comparison with the following timepoints since all patients included in the study were without disorders at the stomatognathic apparatus or neck muscles. Although the present work is focused on a small sample of patients and a high interindividual variability can be found [30], it is interesting to observe that no altered values of muscular imbalance have been detected in both groups at T3. This could suggest that the effects of orthodontic treatments in patients with simple/mild malocclusion, when correctly planned and monitored, are associated to a maintenance of a neuromuscular stability [31,32]. Future studies with a larger sample size are needed to draw a more reliable and supported conclusion about neuromuscular responses during orthodontic treatment performed by means of aligners or traditional fixed appliance even on subjects with functional disorders. | Neuromuscular Stability of Dental Occlusion in Patients Treated with Aligners and Fixed Orthodontic Appliance: A Preliminary Electromyographical Longitudinal Case-Control Study |

We adopted a PAB intervention that induced elevated PA pressure and produced a RV-specific hypertrophy. An alternative intervention using aortic banding would have impacted both LV and RV function, potentially resulting in a more complex sleep phenotype. However, having now established interesting and internally consistent impairments in sleep architecture with PAB banding, there is now a framework for interpreting sleep responses in a model of aortic banding. | A phenotype of increased sleepiness in a mouse model of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy |
01108bad-421c-5a2b-3873-68ea49e7b5ce | Bibliometrics is the statistical analysis of published documents. This is used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of published literature. Bibliometric analysis is used in many different research areas to explore the productivity and impact of a specific research field or specific researchers, and to evaluate the research activities in many scientific fields. Over the last decade, bibliometric analyses have been conducted for many human infectious diseases. However, no such studies have been conducted on the scientific research output for CLCuD. Thus, the aim of this study is to characterize and quantify the research productivity on CLCuD at the global level using bibliometrics. Our study provides an overview of the previous research conducted on CLCuD and identifies the leading countries and institutes involved in CLCuD research. The results identify possible future collaborations which may have a significant impact on increasing the research output and progress on the subject. | Bibliometric analysis of publications on research into cotton leaf curl disease |

Thus, the aim of the present cohort study was to assess the influence of early childhood malocclusion on OHRQoL. Our hypothesis was that children who experienced malocclusion in early childhood will report a worse OHRQoL than their normal counterparts. | Influence of malocclusion on oral health-related quality of life in children: a seven-year cohort study |
013a0fb9-28cd-b431-625f-99f88ffb332c | A Transpterygoid approach with ipsilateral HBF for skull base reconstruction while preserving ipsilateral sphenopalatine artery is a possible surgical option and it can be considered for skull base reconstruction. The present article and the previous literature showed that deep anatomical knowledge, surgical expertise and careful dissection of neurovascular structures are fundamental to achieve wide exposure of pterygoid base without compromising the blood supply of ipsilateral nasoseptal flap. Furthermore, this technique can be used for skull base reconstruction in case of bilateral TAs or TA combined with other endoscopic approaches (i.e. CSF fistula of lateral recess of sphenoid sinus and extensive tumors) or for those cases with only one vascular pedicle available. | Ipsilateral Nasoseptal Flap Pedicle for Transpterygoid Approach: Technical Note |
013c8a34-e322-bb29-b4e8-f89e5f0c357e | The etiology, diagnosis and management of mandibular asymmetries focuses particularly on developmental asymmetries. Increasing mandibular asymmetry with bilateral asymmetry of morphological traits causes malfunctions in developmental homeostasis, associated with environmental and/or genetic stresses. The development of morphological asymmetry may serve as a risk factor for disorders of developmental origin if these stresses are involved. The biopsychosocial model is hypothesized to be the most accepted theory for developmental asymmetry and complexity of TMD . Studies concerning TMD and the relevance of orthodontic treatment suggest that the achievement of a balanced in the dynamic occlusion is necessarily related to the development of mandibular symmetry as a part of the successful management of TMD . | TMD symptoms and vertical mandibular symmetry in young adult orthodontic patients in North Sumatra, Indonesia: a cross-sectional study [version 2; referees: 3 approved] |

0150743e-14d3-9a45-4539-f1e68c078cdb | Interviews were recorded with the use of an encrypted digital audio recorder to which only the lead researcher had access. Interview recordings were then downloaded to a secure server and were password protected with access only to the lead researcher. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and all identifiable information was removed to ensure participant confidentiality. Interview transcripts were stored on a secure server and pseudonymised by a unique study ID number. Once transcribed, interviews were uploaded to NVivo (V.12, QSR International) for analysis. We used thematic analysis to analyse the data. A second researcher (ZHL) duplicated the coding process in a sample of four of the interviews to ensure dependability and consistency in the analysis process.15 Transcripts were coded independently and then each interview transcript was discussed between the researchers to ensure agreement. Any sections of the transcripts which we did not agree on the coding for were discussed to reach consensus agreement on the most appropriate code to use in that section. We performed the analysis concurrently with the data collection and interviews were terminated when no new themes were emerging from the data. | Patient experiences of an ankle fracture and the most important factors in their recovery: a qualitative interview study |
0151d4d1-416b-8ba7-c130-2ccf4e719897 | The recently introduced variable angle stable locking system allows the surgeon to vary the screw angle and direction. Thus, a fracture adapted screw positioning can be performed with the benefit of angular stable locking. Combining this with a preoperative plan regarding the screw position, an osteosynthesis that is modelled to the specific fracture and bone quality is possible. This might increase the mechanical stability of the bone implant construct and has the potential to decrease complication rates. | Development and first biomechanical validation of a score to predict bone implant interface stability based on clinical qCT scans |
01523ccc-c88d-3357-3887-b7942e2ff37a | The simple fixed-fixed beam resonator test structure was described earlier in the section on the impact of residual stresses. A resonator test structure can be used to measure the residual stress in thin-film material layer. The key issue in using a resonator to determine the residual stress in a material layer is that the resonant frequency is shifted due to the presence of the residual stress compared to the same resonator without a residual stress. Using Equation (1) enables a very accurate determination of the residual stress as long as the dimensions are accurately known since the resonant frequency can be measured very accurately. | Review Paper: Residual Stresses in Deposited Thin-Film Material Layers for Micro- and Nano-Systems Manufacturing |

01583a9a-ac86-11cd-2f86-8feaecd30f4e | A robust referral management system should be introduced to deter inappropriate referrals. Many primary care trusts in England have introduced central referral management centres where referrals are scrutinised by a clinician or an administrator before rejecting or redirecting referrals to appropriate providers. Alternatively, strict referral criteria and a standardised referral pro forma could be introduced and compliance scrutinised through audit process. Targeted education and management of providers and referrers is required to ensure compliance with the referring system in place. Simply distributing referral guidance to referring practitioners will not be effective. Advantages and disadvantages of each referral system should be analysed before their implementation. In Wales, some regional managed clinical networks (MCNs) are working towards introducing a referral management system in orthodontics. | Complexities associated with orthodontic services in the National Health Service |
015b7591-e829-bec1-ba6e-158d991683d2 | In this research, assessment of alveolar changes in the maxilla was performed through linear measurements between buccal and palatal cortical bones. These measures are independent and are considered long enough not to be influenced by variation in the partial volume averaging. Additionally, voxel size was the same for all tomographic exams used in this study. That means that if there has been a tendency towards overestimating measures, this has happened to all measures, so that the differences between pre- and postretraction values would have been the same and the results would not have been altered. The limitation of contrast resolution would probably have introduced some bias, if bone thickness had been measured from the buccal and palatal surfaces of incisors roots in their cervical third, due to the smaller quantity of alveolar bone in that region. | Maxillary dentoalveolar assessment following retraction of maxillary incisors: a preliminary study |

0163458c-f70a-1def-2acf-b9aad47bad46 | Craniofacial bones constitute the most intricate part of human skeletal system. They determine the contour of the face by lending supports and attachments to the overlying soft tissues, and maintain diverse physiological functions in the craniofacial region by providing a stable structure foundation. In cases of congenital craniofacial deformities, which are the most common birth defects in human, craniofacial bones are often involved with compromised morphology and function. Usually, congenital anomalies affect craniofacial bones in two ways. First, abnormal embryogenesis and development generate primary distortion and defects in the bony structure. Second, the structural instability worsens the primary deformities and skews the growth pattern in a secondary manner. The primary distortion and defects could be clearly defined at birth, but the secondary growth abnormalities are still difficult to predict. Although congenital craniofacial deformities have been repeatedly related to the skeletal instability, neither the detailed instability pattern nor its correlation with specific tissue defects and growth pattern has been efficiently explored in the previous literature. | Functional stability analyses of maxillofacial skeleton bearing cleft deformities |

0166e9e4-4326-b2cb-468f-e59d8f5b02cc | In order to overcome these challenges and obtain meaningful data from the digital pressure sensor, this study utilized an image processing software to eliminate artifacts that could be considered as a spread of pressure rather than definitive contact areas. Dark blue readings which represented the lowest pressure areas were considered artifacts and were filtered out by adjusting the color threshold in the imaging analysis software. This allowed for a more accurate reading of the contact surface area in terms of the pixel count. This methodology of using an image processing software to refine occlusal contact data has been previously utilized by Millstein and co-authors, who utilized this software to analyze photographs of light transmission through bite registration records [19]. The force distribution values from the digital pressure sensor were converted to a percentage of the sum of pressures on the three teeth evaluated for the study. | An In-Vitro Evaluation of Articulation Accuracy for Digitally Milled Models vs. Conventional Gypsum Casts |

017677c3-cb98-ce43-b666-ff3281b79cf8 | Chronic pseudoaneurysm may mimic some other pathologies of aorta including penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers, infected mycotic saccular aneurysm and vasculitis. Traumatic pseudoaneurysms are usually located at the isthmus, although they may occur anywhere in the aortic tree, and can be distinguished from penetrating ulcers from lack of dilation of adjacent aortic segments and lack of significant atherosclerosis as was the case for our patient. Similarly, infected aneurysm and vasculitis are not commonly found near the isthmus and are associated with lobulations and inflammation in aortic wall. In any case, CT angiography seems to be the best modality to confirm the diagnosis. Our patient had a history of falling from a few stairs 10 years earlier which was not severe enough for him to seek medical attention. Whether this has caused the pseudoaneurysm is a subject of debate. As noticed most traumatic injuries are associated with severe accidents while our patient had a minor trauma, but the location of the pathology and lack of atherosclerosis and other pathologies elsewhere in the aortic wall point to a traumatic origin. There is a possibility of spontaneous pseudoaneurysm, but most patients had hypertension as risk factor and presented acutely to the hospital with chest pain or back pain which was not the case for our patient. So this patient is interesting in this aspect that it may be the first reported case in literature for the delayed presentation of pseudoaneurysm only after a minor injury and blunt traumatic injury to aorta should be suspected even after an insignificant chest trauma with the deceleration injury mechanism. | Pulmonary artery stenosis caused by a large aortic arch pseudoaneurysm detected 10 years after a minor trauma |
01784ef7-63eb-3c34-0e93-cfcadb8036f4 | When the groups were compared in terms of surface treatment, results revealed that shear bond strength values differed significantly between groups 1 and 2, with group 2 exhibiting higher values than group 1. It is speculated that this result occurred because, after curing, the composite resin requires macromechanical retentions to become attached to other material. Composite resin does not chemically react with the acrylic resin of temporary crowns, which gives support to the better bonding values yielded by roughened surfaces compared with surfaces without preparation.12 It is further speculated that the tertiary amines present in CAAR composition can inhibit adequate polymerization of light-cured composite resins, thereby impairing bonding between different types of material. Inhibition could also explain the lower bond strength values observed in groups 1 and 2 compared with the values observed in groups 3 and 4. It is emphasized that the strength values obtained for groups 1 and 2 were lower than what is considered as clinically acceptable.21 | Evaluation of an alternative technique to optimize direct bonding of orthodontic brackets to temporary crowns |

017b28cb-705e-80e0-1157-d9b3866e6ee9 | Relocation pharyngoplasty appears to be similar to lateral pharyngoplasty in splinting the lateral pharyngeal wall but has the distinctive characteristic of plicating the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle to prevent scarring contraction of the tonsillar fossa. Advancement of the soft palate is achieved by removing the supratonsillar mucosa and adipose tissue to create a space for reconstruction of the velopharynx. In addition, this procedure preserves the palatal muscle by removing only part of the soft palate mucosal layer. Our study included patients with mild, moderate, or severe OSA who showed more than 50% narrowing in their lateral pharyngeal wall with tonsil enlargement, and we expected them to need more tension to improve lateral pharyngeal wall collapse. Based on our results, relocation pharyngoplasty resulted in approximately 53% successful surgical results in OSA patients and provided a higher success rate in moderate OSA patients, with 69% of OSA patients showing an improved AHI score and superior numerical changes in sleep parameters following relocation pharyngoplasty. We conclude that relocation pharyngoplasty is a favorable surgical option that maintains pharyngeal function in moderate OSA patients with retropalatal circumferential narrowing. | The clinical efficacy of relocation pharyngoplasty to improve retropalatal circumferential narrowing in obstructive sleep apnea patients |
