Abstract
We hypothesized that neostigmine administered after recovery of the train-of-four (TOF) ratio impairs upper airway integrity and genioglossus muscle function.
We measured, in 10 healthy male volunteers, epiglottic and nasal mask pressures, genioglossus electromyogram, air flow, respiratory timing, a...

Abstract
Use of artificial biological material – acellular dermal matrix (Alloderm, ADM) – combined with pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps (PMMFs) or other cervical tissue is a feasible technique with which to reconstruct a large circumferential defect involving the oral cavity and hypopharynx.

Abstract
There were eight episodes of enterovirus infection during the study period. The serotypes included coxsackievirus A4 (CA4), CA2 and CA16. The transmission rates of CA4 and CA2 among children in same class were 26% and 35%, respectively. Between November 28 and December 12, 2008, 13/21 (61.9%) childr...

Abstract
The feeding anatomy, behavior and diet of the whale shark Rhincodon typus were studied off Cabo Catoche, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The filtering apparatus is composed of 20 unique filtering pads that completely occlude the pharyngeal cavity. A reticulated mesh lies on the proximal surface of the pa...

Abstract
The C. elegans digestive tract (pharynx, intestine, and rectum) contains only approximately 100 cells but develops under the control of the same types of transcription factors (e.g. FoxA and GATA factors) that control digestive tract development in far more complex animals. The GATA-factor dominated...

Abstract
The size of the pharyngeal airway preoperatively was approximately the same in both genders. In contrast, after the SSRO procedure, the pharyngeal airway became narrow when measured at all 3 levels, without any significant difference in either group. However, the degree of narrowness, which is corre...

Abstract
Sixty-nine patients with OSA were recruited. Treatment with the MAS reduced the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) from 27.0+/-14.7 events/h to 12.2+/-12.5 events/h (p<0.001). There was an increase in the total airway volume with mandibular advancement (16.5+/-0.7 cm(3) vs 18.1+/-0.8 cm(3); p<0.01) that o...

Abstract
We further show here that suppression of this sialic acid by siRNA against a sialyltransferase, ST3GAL4, can inhibit H5N1 avian influenza virus infection and that this gene is abundantly expressed in human pharynx, trachea and bronchus. These data suggest that the ST3GAL4 gene is responsible for bio...

We examined nestlings for the presence of Trichomonas gallinae, Protocalliphora avium, and blood parasites in June 2006 and 2007. We did not detect T. gallinae in throat swabs taken from 24 nestlings in 2007. Ear canals of nestlings were parasitized by P. avium larvae in 10 of 11 (91%) nests and in...

Laryngo-Rhino-Otologie (89 Suppl 1) 2010
Abstract
In terms of pathophysiology, an anatomically narrow airway is a predisposing factor for obstruction of the upper respiratory tract. The correlation between the nasopharyngeal airway and the craniofacial structures is discussed in this context. Thus a mutual interaction between the pharynx and the ma...
