Patient airway volume was measured by acoustic reflectometory and neck muscle diameter by ultrasound echography in the pre- and post-anaesthetic periods in a total of 281 patients. Neck circumference was also assessed during these periods. A significant decrease in median (IQR [range]) total ...
Participants' basic data including age, gender, neck circumference, and body mass index (BMI) were collected. All participants received acoustic rhinometry before overnight polysomnography. The results along with sleep-test outcomes were recorded and analyzed.ResultsA total of 87 patients were included...
Midface width is a better predictor of AHI severity and minimum blood oxygen even than neck circumference because it contains the most anatomical information about the airway, including RP airway condition, soft palate length, tongue volume, etc. These correlations persisted even after correction for...
Subjects wore an accelerometer (Actigraph GT3X+, Actigraph Corp., Pensacola, FL) for a minimum of 4 and maximum of 7?days, including at least one weekend day.ResultsThere were no group differences in body mass index (BMI) or daytime sleepiness. Waist and neck circumference were higher in ...
Monitoring of children at heightened risk of cardio–metabolic diseases raises the need for accurate assessment of obesity. A standardized approach for measuring subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) by bright-mode ultrasound was evaluated in relation to bod
