  1. 16. Evaluation of surgical methods for sleep apnea and snoring

    Författare :Thorbjörn Holmlund; Diana Berggren; Eva Levring Jäghagen; Karl Franklin; Sören Berg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep apnea syndromes; adverse effects; mortality; radiofrequency; sham surgery; randomized controlled trial; daytime sleepiness; snoring; tonsillar hypertrophy; tonsillectomy; cytoskeleton; desmin; dystrophin; muscle fiber; palatopharyngeus; soft palate; uvula.; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    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. 17. Maternal microchimerism

    Författare :Anna Maria Kanold; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Microchimerism refers to one individual harboring cells or DNA at a low level that derive from another individual. The most common source is pregnancy when cells from the fetus and the mother pass the placenta bidirectionally, and give rise to maternal microchimerism (cells from the mother in the fetus) and fetal microchimerism (cells from the fetus in the mother).

  4. 18. A longitudinal study of dentofacial morphology in young children treated for the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

    Författare :Lena Zettergren Wijk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The most common cause of OSAS in children is enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids. Consequently, the treatment for OSAS in children with enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids is adeno-/tonsillectomy. The prevalence of OSAS in children is 1-3%, with the peak incidence at the ages 2 to 6 years. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea : evaluation of questionnaire and surgical treatment

    Författare :Anna Borgström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major pediatric health problem and is associated with potentially severe consequences if left untreated. Diagnosing OSA in children can be challenging since the clinical symptoms are very non-specific. LÄS MER

  7. 20. The adenoid defender of the nasopharynx. A study of the cells in the surface secretion in the nasopharynx

    Författare :Magnus Ivarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Adenoid; nasopharynx; leukocytes; surface secretion; ELISPOT; phagocytosis;

    Sammanfattning : The adenoid is implicated in the pathogenesis of upper airway infections (UAI), but in a not yet understood way. In contrast to the adenoid tissue, the surface secretion on the adenoid, which contains not only pathogenic bacteria and viruses but also leukocytes, has attracted little interest. LÄS MER
