Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder whose prevalence is linked to an epidemic of
obesity in Western society. Sleep apnea is due to recurrent episodes of upper airway …

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to assess the differences in airway shape and
volume among subjects with various facial patterns. METHODS: Cone-beam computed …

The purpose of the present study was to quantify the mechanical effect of genioglossus
stimulation on flow mechanics and pharyngeal cross-sectional area in patients with …

Both mandibular advancement (MA) and stimulation of the genioglossus (GG) have been
shown to improve upper airway patency, but neither one achieves the effect of continuous …

The relative impact of mechanical factors on pharyngeal patency in patients with obstructive
sleep apnea is poorly understood. The present study was designed to evaluate parameters …

Objective To evaluate the pharyngeal compliance of patients with obstructive sleep apnea
with complete muscle relaxation. And to study the relationship between the pharyngeal wall …

Abstract The Sleep Apnea Syndrome is known to be related with a partial (hypopnea) or
total (apnea) collapse of the upper airway. The patency of the upper airway is dictated by a …
