To evaluate the role of clinical scores assessing risk disease severity in patients with suspicion obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). The hypothesis was tested by applying artificial intelligence (AI) to demonstrate its effectiveness distinguishing between mild-moderate OSA and severe risk.A support vector machine model (SVM) developed from samples included analysis (N = 498), they were split into 75% for training 373) remaining testing 125). Two diagnostic thresholds selected severity:...
Analyze the surgical outcomes of endoscopic stapes surgery, comparing results with a conventional surgery under microscopic approach. Estimate operation type each approach and show learning curve surgery.Retrospective study.Tertiary referral center.Twenty patients who underwent stapedotomy for otosclerosis 20 otosclerosis.Endoscopic surgery.Operating time, preoperative postoperative hearing, intraoperative findings, complications, pain.The group showed mean operative time calculated to be...
Nasal obstruction is a frequent condition in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). leads to mouth breathing, which thought destabilise the upper airway aggravate condition. Three conditions could be considered as cause of nasal breathing obstruction: anatomical nose (septum deviation, hypertrophy inferior turbinates), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and inflammation caused by allergic rhinitis or non-allergic cellular rhinitis. In this prospective study, we present an evaluation all...
To assess the capability of echo-planar diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (EPI-DWI) in diagnosing relapsing/residual cholesteatomas after canal wall-up mastoidectomy.In a blinded study design, we investigated with MRI, including standard spin-echo sequences, 18 patients evaluated clinical examination and computed tomography (CT) suspected for cholesteatoma 7 to 19 months mastoidectomy. Images were by two radiologists patients' identities, CT findings, data set, who decided...
The aim of this study was to evaluate prospectively, in a group patients affected by vestibular neurolabyrinthitis (VN), diagnostic protocol including cervical evoked myogenic potentials (C-VEMPs), ocular (O-VEMPs), and the video head impulse test (vHIT).The diagnosis VN based on patient's clinical history, an absence associated auditory or neurologic symptoms, neuro-otological examination with evaluation lateral semicircular canal function use Fitzgerald-Hallpike caloric ice test.In our...
