Abstract: The study of the muscles of the tongue forms part of a basic evaluation of upper airway function that includes swallowing, speaking and chewing. It is important because the upper airway presents a region of collapse during sleep. Through the action of the dilator muscles, mainly the genioglossus, such collapse can be prevented. In this study, we present a simple tool that can be used to measure the strength of the tongue. This tool may provide an easy way to measure tongue function and allow

Abstract: Four phenotypes of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) have been identified. Only one of these is anatomical. As such, anatomically based treatments for OSAHS may not fully resolve the condition. Equally, compliance and uptake of gold-standard treatments is inadequate. This has led to interest in novel therapies that provide the basis for personalized treatment protocols. This review examines each of the four phenotypes of OSAHS and explores how these could be targeted using breath

Abstract: Background: Myofunctional therapy has demonstrated efficacy in treating sleep-disordered breathing. We assessed the clinical use of a new mobile health (mHealth) app that uses a smartphone to teach patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) to perform oropharyngeal exercises.

Objective: We conducted a pilot randomized trial to evaluate the effects of the app in patients with severe OSAHS.

Methods: Forty patients with severe OSAHS (apnea–hypoxia index [AHI]>30) were

Abstract: Background
Myofunctional therapy (MT) is a therapeutic option with demonstrated efficacy for treating sleep-disordered breathing. We assessed the clinical application of a newly developed m-Health App, which aimed to allow patients with OSAHS (obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome) to perform oropharyngeal exercises only by interacting with their smartphone without no other devices.

Abstract: Purpose of this study was to evaluate whether tongue peak pressure measured using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument is correlated with the topographic site of obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome observed during drug-induced sleep endoscopy. Thirty-five consecutive adult patients (29 men, 6 women) were prospectively enrolled after having been diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome by polysomnography. An apnea-hypopnea index > 30 was c

Abstract:

Reciente lanzamiento del libro “Ergonomía quirúrgica. Prevención de trastornos musculoesqueléticos en la práctica quirúrgica”, coordinado por el Dr José Carlos Manuel Palazuelos, Director del Área quirúrgica del Hospital Virtual Valdecilla y el Dr David Lobo. Se trata de un manual dirigido especialmente a los que empiezan, aunque también puede ser muy útil para aquellos con más experiencia.
Los ORL al igual que otros cirujanos, tienen importantes riesgos de sufrir trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) relacionados con el trabajo. La obra se apoya en numerosas ilustraciones a color, así como vídeos y material multimedia. El libro estuvo expuesto durante el 70 Congreso Nacional de la SEORL-CCC.
