Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effects of nasal septum deviation on the pharyngeal airway and craniocervical posture measurements using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS This retrospective study analyzed the CBCTs of 25 patients with and without nasal septum deviation. Various parameters defining the pharyngeal airway and craniocervical and facial skeletal morphology were measured and compared between the groups after confirming intra-examiner reliability. RESULTS Compared to the control group, the group with nasal septum deviation had a statistically significantly shorter nasopharyngeal length (p < 0.001), longer vertical airway length (p < 0.002), and larger cervical column curvature angle (p < 0.006). CONCLUSION Children with a nasal septum deviation of 4 mm or more on their CBCT scan are susceptible to unfavorable pharyngeal airway and craniocervical postural changes.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Mean Platelet Volume and Platelet Distribution Width in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome. Biomedicines 2024; 12:270. [PMID: 38397872 PMCID: PMC10887137 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12020270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a highly prevalent yet underestimated disorder caused by the complete or partial obstruction of the upper airways. Although polysomnography is the gold standard for OSAS diagnosis, there is an active search for easily accessible biomarkers of disease presence and severity, particularly those reflecting morphological changes in specific blood cells. We investigated the associations between the presence and severity of OSAS, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment, mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW), routinely assessed as part of the complete blood count. From 262 retrieved records from PubMed, the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, 31 manuscripts were selected for a final analysis, 30 investigating MPV and 15 investigating PDW. MPV was not statistically different between OSAS patients and healthy controls; however, it progressively increased with disease severity. By contrast, OSAS patients had significantly higher PDW values than controls (SMD = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.25 to 0.56; p ˂ 0.001), and the difference increased with disease severity. In a univariate meta-regression, there were significant associations between the MPV and publication year, the apnoea-hypopnea index, and diabetes mellitus, while no associations were observed with the PDW. No significant between-group differences were observed in the subgroup analyses. These data suggest that PDW, and to a lesser extent, MPV, are potential biomarkers of OSAS and require further research to ascertain their pathophysiological significance (PROSPERO, CRD42023459413).

Abstract
PURPOSE Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by multi-factors. Sleep is a natural physiologic process, and the sleep duration, quality, and patterns might be associated with periodontitis. Meanwhile, periodontitis might in turn induce systemic inflammation and thus impact sleep in different ways as well. METHODS To investigate the bidirectional relationship between sleep disorder and periodontitis, a literature search was conducted to reveal the interaction and possible mechanism between these two diseases. RESULTS The results show that sleep disorders can affect the progression of periodontitis via some pathomechanisms, and periodontitis also has a reverse impact on sleep. CONCLUSION Although the epidemiologic and clinical trials found the possible associations between sleep disorder and periodontitis, their relationship is still not that explicit. Further studies are warranted to shed light on them, to improve preventive health care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and sinusitis has been widely studied; however, research on SDB-related sleep problems and sinusitis are limited. This study aims to determine the relationship between SDB-related sleep problems, SDB symptom score, and sinusitis. METHODS After the screening, data were analyzed from 3414 individuals (≥20 years) from the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey questionnaire. Data on snoring, daytime sleepiness, obstructive sleep apnea (snorting, gasping, or cessation of breathing while sleeping), and sleep duration were analyzed. The SDB symptom score was determined based on a summary of the scores of the above four parameters. Pearson chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used in statistical analyses. RESULTS After adjusting for confounders, self-reported sinusitis was strongly correlated with frequent apneas (OR: 1.950; 95% CI: 1.349-2.219), excessive daytime sleepiness (OR: 1.880; 95% CI: 1.504-2.349), and frequent snoring (OR: 1.481; 95% CI: 1.097-2.000). Compared to an SDB symptom score of 0, the higher the SDB symptom score, the higher the risk of self-reported sinusitis. For the subgroup analyses, this association was significant in females and across ethnic groups. CONCLUSION In the United States, SDB is significantly associated with self-reported sinusitis in adults. In addition, our study suggests that patients with SDB should be aware of the risk of developing sinusitis.

Abstract
COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV2 has reached pandemic proportions. The fear of Covid-19 has deterred many to abandon efforts for seeking timely medical help. In this setting, Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-like covid/non-covid cohorts have presented. Atypical pathologies can present like OSA and take the clinician unawares. With this series of misfits suffering silently, it would be unwise to underestimate its impact on quality-of-life (QOL). To determine the effect on quality-of-life by pathologies mimicking OSA and assess Covid-19 as a cause for delayed presentation. This was a prospective cross-sectional study. 127(N). Recent onset of symptoms of OSA. Study duration March 2020 to September 2021. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) screening done. Study criteria defined. Sleep parameters calculated. Primary surgical intervention given. Non-responders were put on CPAP therapy. QOL assessment done with sf-36 and SAQLI. Fear of Covid-19 scale (FCV-19S) quantified to study cause for temporal delay. Correlations computed. Level of Evidence-Level 3. 97 candidates completed study. Demographic and anthropometric details noted. Mean range was 43.85 ± 11.39 years. Male predominance. Overall AHI-19.73 ± 8.72. Moderate impact on QOL by sf-36/SAQLI. 78n Primary surgical candidates fared well. Polysomnography (PSG) and Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration/trial characteristics for 19n available. Statistically significant improvement in QOL after treatment completion. Correlations were meaningful. Body Mass Index (BMI) as a single factor was not influential on OSA-mimickers. Fear of Covid-19 significantly impacted emergency medical aid acquisition. OSA mimicking atypical airway pathologies may need emergent treatment not only from a surgical point-of-view but also from the QOL of the patient. On the contrary, these also unmask sub-clinical OSA, especially in patients with low/normal BMI. This category of recent onset OSA, if fortunately picked up at the earliest possible presentation, may hopefully not go through the significant QOL impact suffered by chronic OSA candidates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently encountered in adult sleep disorders and needs careful differential diagnosis.Ear, nose, throat examination, including naso-laryngeal endoscopy, is mandatory in all cases to rule out potential obstructing lesions causing OSA. CLINICAL PRESENTATION This report presents a 64-year-old male with snoring, nasal blockage (especially during night-time), and mild OSA. Physical-examination and CT revealed a unilateral vascularized left sinonasal mass extending to the nasopharynx and protruding into the oropharynx during inhalation. Due to suspicions of malignancy or vascular tumor, the patient also underwent contrast MRI. Endoscopic surgery was performed, and the final diagnosis was a sinonasal angiomatous polyp (SAP). SAPs are rare, and this is the first reported case of an adult solitary unilateral angiomatous polyp referral for OSA. CONCLUSION Nasal masses need to be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with obstructive sleep disorders in order to avoid wrong or ineffective treatment.

Abstract
Mouth breathing is one of the most common deleterious oral habits in children. It often results from upper airway obstruction, making the air enter completely or partially through oral cavity. In addition to nasal obstruction caused by various kinds of nasal diseases, the pathological hypertrophy of adenoids and/or tonsils is often the main etiologic factor of mouth breathing in children. Uncorrected mouth breathing can result in abnormal dental and maxillofacial development and affect the health of dentofacial system. Mouth breathers may present various types of growth patterns and malocclusion, depending on the exact etiology of mouth breathing. Furthermore, breathing through the oral cavity can negatively affect oral health, increasing the risk of caries and periodontal diseases. This review aims to provide a summary of recent publications with regard to the impact of mouth breathing on dentofacial development, describe their consistencies and differences, and briefly discuss potential reasons behind inconsistent findings.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a respiratory sleep disorder characterized by partial or complete recurrent episodes of upper airway collapse that occur during the night. The OSA manifests with a reduction (hypopnea) or complete cessation (apnea) of airflow in the upper airways, associated with breathing effort. OSA is a frequent and often underestimated pathology affecting between 2 and 5% of the middle-aged population. Typical nocturnal symptoms are the persistent snoring and awakenings with dyspnea sensation. On the other hand, diurnal symptoms could be sleepiness, headaches, asthenia, neurological disorders, and impaired personal relationships. Surgery of the velo-pharyngeal region had a huge evolution going from ablative techniques (UP3 and LAUP) to remodeling techniques of the pharyngeal lateral walls.

Overview of the Role of Pharmacological Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58020225. [PMID: 35208549 PMCID: PMC8874508 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58020225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains a prominent disease state characterized by the recurrent collapse of the upper airway while sleeping. To date, current treatment may include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), lifestyle changes, behavioral modification, mandibular advancement devices, and surgical treatment. However, due to the desire for a more convenient mode of management, pharmacological treatment has been thoroughly investigated as a means for a potential alternative in OSA treatment. OSA can be distinguished into various endotypic or phenotypic classes, allowing pharmacological treatment to better target the root cause or symptoms of OSA. Some medications available for use include antidepressants, CNS stimulants, nasal decongestants, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and potassium channel blockers. This review will cover the findings of currently available and future study medications that could potentially play a role in OSA therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this paper, we perform a systematic review that discusses the state of the art and evolution on the barbed reposition pharyngoplasty (BRP) in the velo-pharyngeal surgery. Clinical evidence and published outcomes of this surgical technique are reported and discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a systematic review of the current literature through the analysis of the last 10 years of literature on barbed palate surgery. Study design, number of patients enrolled, inclusion criteria, pre- and posttreatment outcomes (AHI, ODI), surgical success rate, follow-up time and complication has been collected and reported. RESULTS 15 studies for a total of 1531 patients, out of which 1061 underwent barbed reposition pharyngoplasty. Five trials were uncontrolled prospective studies (215 patients, 14% of total), nine were retrospective studies (1266 patients, 82,6% of total), and one randomized prospective clinical trial (RCT) (50 patients, 3,32% of total). All analyzed studies reported good outcomes after BRP surgery. Average preoperative values of AHI and ODI reduced in all studies considered with a significative statistical difference between preoperative and postoperative values (p < 0.05 in all cases). The postoperative surgical success rate ranged between 65.4 and 93% of cases. There were no significant intra-operative or post-operative complications in all studies considered in this systematic review. CONCLUSIONS Barbed reposition pharyngoplasty has proven to be an easy to learn, quick, safe and effective new palatopharyngeal procedure, that can be used in a single level surgery or as a part of multilevel procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects almost 30% of the adult population. OBJECTIVE To describe and compare the evolution of symptoms in patients diagnosed with AR and septal deviation prior to and following septoplasty (STP). DESIGN AND SETTING Quasi-experimental study developed in A Coruña University Hospital. METHODS Patients aged 18-65 years who had been diagnosed with AR and septal deviation were recruited. Obstruction airflow was evaluated before and after surgery, by means of anterior rhinomanometry (RNM). Severity symptoms and quality of life were assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the ESPRINT questionnaire, respectively. RESULTS A total of 50 subjects underwent STP and 42 were included in this study. Their mean age at the time of surgery was 34.16 ± 9.74 years (range 18-64). Significant reductions in mean VAS and ESPRINT were observed after surgery (P < 0.01). These outcomes were considered to represent an overall improvement in quality of life. The RNM results also improved significantly, from mean values of 478.07 ± 165.4 cm3/s before STP to 826.4 ± 175.5 cm3/s afterwards (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The negative correlations of VAS and ESPRINT with RNM, from before and to after STP, demonstrate the efficacy of scales and questionnaires as objective methods for determining obstruction in the absence of rhinomanometry. Patients with allergic rhinitis and septal deviation showed improvements in obstruction severity and medication use after STP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the independent role of nasal congestion in positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy compliance and factors associated with an unfavorable shift of PAP compliance. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary care center. METHODS This follow-up study comprised 174 patients with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who accepted PAP therapy from January 2017 to June 2019. Information was collected on basic demographics, comorbidities, sleep-related symptoms, nasal symptoms, and upper airway assessment. PAP adherence data were collected at the end of the first week and the third month. RESULTS After 3 months of follow-up, 147 participants were included for final data analysis. The proportion of nasal congestion (29.2% vs 52.0%, P = .005) and its severity (mean rank, 58.5 vs 75.1; P = .007) were significantly higher in the noncompliance group as compared with the compliance group. After adjustment for basic demographics, comorbidities, sleep-related symptoms or sleep study parameters, and Friedman clinical staging, multinomial logistic regression models showed that nasal congestion (all odds ratios >2.0, P < .05) was independently associated with a higher odds of PAP noncompliance. Patients with an unfavorable shift of PAP compliance were younger (mean ± SD, 47.5 ± 10.6 vs 53.1 ± 12.6 years; P = .021) and had a lower body mass index (27.2 ± 3.7 vs 29.3 ± 5.0, P = .027) than those who consistently complied. OSA severity was associated with PAP compliance, initially and in the long term. CONCLUSION Nasal congestion is an independent predictor of PAP noncompliance. Younger patients with lower BMI were more likely to have an unfavorable shift of PAP compliance. Initial and long-term adherence to PAP therapy was affected by OSA severity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To observe the effectiveness of preoperative drug-induced sleep endoscopy in improving surgical results of patients undergoing single-level barbed pharyngoplasty surgery for OSA, using a prospective randomized model. METHODS A single-center randomized controlled trial with two prospective arms was carried out to compare functional results in patients treated with barbed reposition pharyngoplasty (BRP) surgery without a preoperative drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) evaluation vs patients treated with BRP surgery performed after DISE evaluation of sites/patterns of collapse. RESULTS We compared 50 patients who underwent BRP without a preoperative DISE evaluation (Group A) and 42 patients (Group B) treated with BRP surgery but preoperatively selected by means of a preoperative DISE. In this second group of patients, after DISE evaluation, 70% of patients were selected for single-level BRP surgery because they showed an isolated velopharyngeal collapse at the DISE evaluation, without obstruction at other upper airway levels evaluated. Both groups of patients showed a statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative values of AHI, ODI, and LOS (p<0.05 in all cases). Comparing Group A and Group B patients, the therapeutic success rate was found to be 60% in patients treated without preoperative DISE evaluation and 83% in patients treated with preoperative DISE (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION DISE appears to improve the surgical results of single-level velopharyngeal surgery due to the possibility of excluding patients with obstruction of the base of the tongue, the hypopharynx, and the epiglottis/larynx.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of nasal surgery on airflow characteristics in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by comparing the alterations of airflow characteristics within the nasal and palatopharyngeal cavities. METHODS Thirty patients with OSA and nasal obstruction who underwent nasal surgery were enrolled. A pre- and postoperative 3-dimensional model was constructed, and alterations of airflow characteristics were assessed using the method of computational fluid dynamics. The other subjective and objective clinical indices were also assessed. RESULTS By comparison with the preoperative value, all postoperative subjective symptoms statistically improved (p < 0.05), while the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) changed little (p = 0.492); the postoperative airflow velocity and pressure in both nasal and palatopharyngeal cavities, nasal and palatopharyngeal pressure differences, and total upper airway resistance statistically decreased (all p < 0.01). A significant difference was derived for correlation between the alteration of simulation metrics with subjective improvements (p < 0.05), except with the AHI (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Nasal surgery can decrease the total resistance of the upper airway and increase the nasal airflow volume and subjective sleep quality in patients with OSA and nasal obstruction. The altered airflow characteristics might contribute to the postoperative reduction of pharyngeal collapse in a subset of OSA patients.

Abstract
:
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is now a significant health problem in today's culture.
It ranges from a spectrum of abnormal conditions during sleep from the primary snorer to mild,
moderate, or severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). SDB also comprises other conditions, such as
sleep-related hypoventilation, sleep-related hypoxemia, and central sleep apnea syndromes.
:
One of the components of the pathophysiology of OSA that remain unclear is the association of allergic
rhinitis (AR) in the evolution of OSA. Several studies relate the co-existence of OSA and
AR in the common clinical practice, but its correlation was not clear. This review article aimed to
review the pathophysiological relationship between OSA and AR in terms of the role of chemical
mediators and the effect of AR treatment in support of OSA.
:
The symptoms of AR further accelerate the clinical progression to OSA development. Inflammatory
mediators such as histamine, cysteinyl leukotrienes, and interleukins are found at a high level in
AR, which can aggravate AR symptoms such as nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and itchiness, which
can then lead to sleep disruption in OSA patients. In addition, OSA patients also have increased
chemical mediators such as tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 6, and 1, which would activate the T
helper 2 phenotypes that can aggravate AR symptoms. This vicious cycle can potentiate each other
and worsen the condition. Few studies have shown that treatment of AR can improve OSA, especially
the use of intranasal steroid and leukotriene receptor antagonists.
:
A detailed evaluation of rhinitis symptoms should be made for OSA patients so that they can benefit
not only from the improvement of AR but also the good sleep quality.

Abstract
Rhinosinusitis is a common disorder related to inflammation of paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity mucosa. Herbal medicines could be an option in the treatment of rhinosinusitis due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. The study aims to investigate the effect of intranasal Sambucus nigra L. subsp. nigra (SN) extract against inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue remodeling in nasal and sinus mucosa, but also in serum, lungs, and brain, in Wistar rat model of subacute sinonasal inflammation induced by local administration of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), from Escherichia Coli. The cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde) in nasal mucosa, blood, lungs, and brain were analyzed. In addition, a histopathological examination was performed, and NF-kB, MMP2, MMP9, TIMP1 expressions were also evaluated in nasal mucosa. Both doses of LPS increased the production of cytokines in all the investigated tissues, especially in the nasal mucosa and blood (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05), and stimulated their secretion in the lungs, and partially in the brain. Malondialdehyde increased in all the investigated tissues (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05). In parallel, upregulation of NF-kB and MMP2 expressions with downregulation of TIMP1, particularly at high dose of LPS, was observed. SN extract reduced the local inflammatory response, maintained low levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β. In lungs, SN reduced all cytokines levels while in the brain, the protective effect was noticed only on IL-6. Additionally, SN diminished lipid peroxidation and downregulated NF-kB in animals exposed to a low dose of LPS, with increased TIMP1 expression, while in animals treated with a high dose of LPS, SN increased NF-kB, MMP2, and MMP9 levels. In conclusion, SN extract diminished the inflammatory response, reduced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and, influenced MMPs expressions, suggesting the benficial effect of SN extract on tissue remodeling in subacute rhinosinusitis and on systemic inflammatory response.

Abstract
PURPOSE This meta-analysis study was designed to analyze the olfactory function in obstructive sleep apnea patients (OSA). METHODS A comprehensive review of the English language literature regarding OSA patients and olfactory function/dysfunction was performed. The papers assessing olfactory dysfunction with Sniffin' Sticks test were taken into consideration. RESULTS A total of 420 OSA patients were judged eligible for the study. The average TDI score was found to be 24.3 ± 5.6. The olfactory identification (OD), the olfactory discrimination (OD), and the olfactory threshold (OT) average values were calculated resulting 9.9 ± 2.1, 9.8 ± 1.5, and 5.3 ± 2, respectively. There were 161 healthy control subjects in this meta-analysis. The average TDI of the control group was 30.7 ± 6.0 showing a statistical difference with the group of OSA patients (p = 0.03). A linear correlation between Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) increase and TDI decrease (R2 = 0.1, p = 0.05) was detected. Finally, the average values of TDI of 151 patients classified as mild-moderate OSA and 159 patients considered as severe OSA were calculated. The difference between these two groups resulted not statistically significant (p = 0.3). CONCLUSION The comparison between OSA patients and healthy subjects using Sniffin' Sticks test showed lower values of the various olfactory parameters. Although a linear correlation between AHI increase and olfactory dysfunction was observed, no statistical difference between mild-moderate and severe OSA patients in terms of the severity of olfactory dysfunction could be proved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of male infertility, and one of its causes is deviated nasal septum with inferior turbinate hypertrophy (DNS/ITH). However, the risk of male infertility associated with DNS/ITH remains unclear. METHODS Using the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database, we conducted a retrospective matched cohort study to investigate the risk of infertility in male patients diagnosed with DNS/ITH (N = 61,761) from 2000 to 2015 in comparison with matched controls without DNS/ITH (N = 247,044). We further analyzed the effect of septoturbinoplasty (STP), including septoplasty and turbinoplasty, on the risk of male infertility in DNS/ITH patients. RESULTS At the end of the follow-up period, 46 (0.07%, 46/61,761, incidence rate: 6.25 per 100,000 person-years) patients developed infertility in the DNS/ITH group versus 72 (0.03%, 72/247,044, incidence rate: 2.28 per 100,000 person-years) in the control group; the incidence rate was 2.740-fold higher in the DNS/ITH group (log-rank P < 0.001). Cox proportional hazards regression revealed that the risk of infertility increased in the DNS/ITH group [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.080, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.049-1.514, P = 0.001]. Compared with the control group, the risk of infertility was highest in the DNS/ITH group without STP (adjusted HR: 2.842, 95% CI, 1.715-4.082, P < 0.001), followed by the DNS/ITH group with STP (adjusted HR: 1.074, 95% CI, 1.035-1.488, P = 0.012). The intervention of STP reduced the risk of infertility in the DNS/ITH group by 45.1% compared with those without STP (P = 0.033). CONCLUSION Clinicians should be aware of the risk of infertility in male patients presenting with DNS/ITH. Improving the nasal airway by STP may decrease the risk of male infertility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Standard overnight polysomnography (PSG) scores only the apneahypopnea index (AHI) as a predictor of sleep apnea. It is proven that the arousals also contribute especially to the daytime symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). The authors aimed to search the relevance of arousals and obstruction site in the upper airway with the sleep parameters, daytime sleepiness and the sleep quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total number of 118 subjects were recruited. All of them received a full-night attended PSG and a thorough otolaryngologic examination to identify the site of obstruction in the upper airway and 2 different sleep questionnaires to present the daytime sleepiness and the sleep quality. RESULTS The level of nasal airway blockage had no impact on AHI, daytime sleepiness and the sleep quality. The increase in level of tonsillar hypertrophy had a negative impact on oxygen desaturation index (ODI) only (P = 0.021). The level of retrolingual obstruction worsen ODI (P = 0.022), AHI (P = 0.041), daytime sleepiness (P = 0.047) and sleep quality (P = 0.033). CONCLUSION Arousals during sleep deserve better attention in scoring PSG events, as they reliably reflect daytime somnolence and sleep quality. Retrolingual obstruction was the main contributor for cortical arousals. It is imperative to cure retrolingual obstruction properly which may be easily detected in sleep endoscopy.

Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term subjective outcomes of barbed reposition pharyngoplasty for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) treatment using a specific questionnaire, the Palate Postoperative Problem Score (PPOPS). Methods: 140 patients who underwent barbed reposition pharyngoplasty (BRP) surgery in the Morgagni Pierantoni Hospital of Forlì, Italy were enrolled in the study. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated in a short- and long-term follow-up using the PPOPS questionnaire. The average period of follow-up was 26 months. All patients received the PPOPS questionnaire by telephone in a period between April and August 2019. Results: 51% of patients complained of swallowing problems after surgery. In 91% of cases, the problem cleared up spontaneously. At the time of the interview, only 9% of patients had a residual swallowing difficult. At the time of PPOPS evaluation, rhinolalia was observed in 8% of patients, whereas nose regurgitation was present in 2% of patients. In 20% of patients, the foreign body sensation was present during follow-up. The value of apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) reduced from the preoperative value of 31.5 to the postoperative value of 11.4. Conclusions: BRP surgery proved to be an effective technique, appreciated by the majority of patients. Use of the PPOPS questionnaire has demonstrated that the BRP technique seems to ensure efficacy and lower morbidity, with few complications after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine if submental intubation during maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) reduces the development of nasal obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). STUDY DESIGN This study was a prospective, single cohort of consecutive adult patients undergoing MMA surgery for OSA at a single institution. The primary outcome measure was the development of nasal obstruction using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scale. Secondary outcomes included the rate of reintubation, submandibular duct function, development of neck infection, the need for subsequent surgical correction of nasal obstruction, and changes in the Apnea-Hypopnea Index. RESULTS Twenty consecutive patients (85% male, mean age 47 years) were included in the study. Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scores improved in 88% of patients, with a mean improvement from 46.6 ± 28.9 to 15.9 ± 20.9 at 3 months (P < .01). No participant required reintubation, and all patients had adequate bilateral submandibular gland function at follow-up. The mean Apnea-Hypopnea Index improved from 58.1 ± 32.0 to 8.3 ± 4.7 (P < .01). CONCLUSION Submental intubation for patients undergoing MMA for OSA appears to be a well-tolerated, expeditious alternative to nasal intubation with excellent nasal breathing results. Larger, prospective investigations to confirm these findings should be considered.

Abstract
The aim of our study is to evaluate the nasal symptoms of patients with indications for septoplasty using the SNOT-22 questionnaire and to investigate the effects of variables such as concha surgery, age, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), smoking and asthma on these symptoms. A total of 100 patients were included in the study. Pre-operative and at postoperative month 3, patients were administered the Sinus Nasal Conduct Test (SNOT-22). Septoplasty operations were performed by two centres and two otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons. The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure of the lower concha, concha shaver group and concha out fractures. The difference in total score between preop and postop was significant in both the shaver and outfracture groups with a difference in total score of 17.85 (46%). Improvement in symptoms of nasal obstruction was observed with a mean improvement of 0.81 points (2.79 points). In our study, there was no significant difference in preop and postop symptom scores in patients who had subcuneal shaved submucous resection with outfracture (p = 0.861). There was no significant difference between preop and postop total scores between asthma, smoking, OSA and non-asthmatics (p > 0.05). There was no correlation between scores and age in either group (p > 0.05). Before septoplasty, the most important symptom was nasal obstruction. Intervention at the inferior turbinate during surgery increases the benefits of septoplasty independently of the surgical technique. Factors such as asthma, OSA, smoking are significantly relevant to symptoms. In those with asthma and OSA, the scores were found to be high both before and after intervention.

Abstract
The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) represents only part of a large group of pathologies of variable entity called respiratory sleep disorders (RSD) which include simple snoring and increased upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS). Although the etiopathogenesis of adult OSAS is well known, many aspects of this syndrome in children are still debated. Its prevalence is about 2% in children from 2 to 8 years of age, mostly related to the size of the upper airways adenoid tissue. Several risk factors linked to the development of OSAS are typical of the pediatric age. The object of this paper is to analyze the state of the art on this specific topic, discussing its implications in terms of diagnosis and management.
