    Sammanfattning : Background: Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are both common disorders with a number of negative health effects. The safety and efficacy of treating snoring and OSA surgically have been questioned and there has been a lack of studies in the field. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea : Evaluation of surgical treatments and immunological aspects

    Författare :Isabella Sjölander; Danielle Friberg; Johan Hellgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstructive sleep apnea; pediatric sleep disordered breathing; tonsillar surgery; Polysomnography; adenotonsillotomy; adenotonsillectomy; Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire; OSA-18; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    Sammanfattning : Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder often caused by  enlargement of the adenoid and the tonsils. The peak prevalence is among children who are two to six years of age, when the lymphatic tissue is  most active. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging, since the symptoms are often unspecific.

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the effects of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in tonsillar cancer, mobile tongue cancer, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). The purpose was to characterize patients with RRP in northern Sweden in order to identify more care-intensive RRP patients and to describe the voice and quality of life aspects that follow RRP.

  7. 5. Factors of importance for radiosensitivity of tonsillar carcinoma

    Författare :Signe Friesland; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :TC; radiotherapy; radiosensitivity; complete remission; HPV; P53; MDM2; DNA-PK; DNA-PKcs; Ku86; Ku70.;

    Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy (RT) alone or in combination with surgery is the only curative treatment of tonsillar carcinoma (TC). As distant metastases are rare the loco-regional control is the most important factor determining survival. Methods for prediction of radiocurability are lacking. LÄS MER
