Objective Drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has gained interest for upper airway evaluation in patients with snoring and obstructive apnea (OSA), different drugs have been used to induce sedation. Nevertheless, all presented specific advantages disadvantages differential effects on respiratory physiology. This study evaluated compared the of midazolam, propofol dexmedetomidine DISE findings, O 2 nadir, bispectral index (BIS) same sample patients. Study Design Case series prospective study....
The purpose of this study was to establish a correlation between the endemic level tegumentary leishmaniasis in different regions Brazil during 2002–2009 and number cases mucosal or mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. proportion inversely correlated with prevalence infection. In areas lower infection prevalence, increased ( P < 0.05). hypothesis an Amazonian origin dissemination through human migration is considered. Our results show that endemically younger, evolve form higher than older.
The relationship among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), body mass index (BMI), and testosterone levels has long been suggested. Obese men have shown a negative correlation between level severity. Yet, little is known about the association in who are not obese. This study evaluated total (TT) OSA patients obese.A retrospective review of 523 records whom was diagnosed from 2013-2016 performed. included with BMI < 30 kg/m2 TT measured blood sample collected morning after study.In all, 153...
Abstract Objectives: To evaluate dysphonia in patients treated for laryngeal tuberculosis, and to assess the effect of speech therapy on patients' vocal quality. Materials methods: Seven 23 with a confirmed diagnosis at Evandro Chagas Institute Clinical Research, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, underwent six months. These seven were evaluated by videolaryngoscopy acoustic analysis, before, during after course therapy. Results: The tuberculosis comprised five women 18 men, ages ranging from 25 83...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate dizziness in patients receiving meglumine antimoniate for the treatment of mucosal leishmaniasis. Materials and methods: We retrospectively studied 127 treated at Laboratory Leishmaniasis Surveillance, Evandro Chagas Clinical Research Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between 1 January 1989 31 December 2004. Results: A low dose (5 mg/kg/day) was used 86.6 per cent patients; a 10 mg/kg/day or higher 13.4 patients. Dizziness reported by...
Introduction Leishmaniasis is considered as one of the six most important infectious diseases because its high detection coefficient and ability to produce deformities. In cases, mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) occurs a consequence cutaneous leishmaniasis. If left untreated, lesions can leave sequelae, interfering in swallowing, breathing, voice speech processes requiring rehabilitation. Objective To describe anatomical characteristics quality ML patients. Materials Methods A descriptive...
A Síndrome da Apneia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAOS) é uma condição clínica muito prevalente na população, com diversas repercussões clínicas e de saúde pública. Porém, o exame Polissonografia (PSG), padrão-ouro confirmação SAOS, não utilizado forma eficaz sua rotina diagnóstica, principalmente assistência em hospitais públicos brasileiros devido a pouca disponibilidade. Por serem simples aplicação, escalas questionários relacionados ao sono podem ser utilizados para um diagnóstico presuntivo...
Introduction: Pentavalent antimonials are the first drug of choice in treatment tegumentary leishmaniasis. Data on ototoxicity related with such drugs is scarcely available literature, leading us to develop a study cochleovestibular functions. Case Report: A case leishmaniasis patient, 78-year-old man who presented substantial increase auditory threshold tinnitus and severe rotatory dizziness during meglumine antimoniate, reported. These symptoms worsened two weeks after was interrupted....
Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (TL) is a neglected, non-contagious, infectious disease, caused by different protozoa species of the Leishmania genus that affects skin and mucous membranes. Meglumine Antimoniate (MA), first drug choice for TL treatment in Brazil, has already been associated with cochlear toxicity, which defined as damages cochlea exposure to chemical substances, resulting reversible or irreversible hearing loss. Auditory monitoring toxicity aims at early detection auditory...
SUMMARY OBJECTIVES Assess the performance of Stop-Bang questionnaire in Brazilian patients for screening OSA. METHODS A cross-sectional study with historical and consecutive analysis all who underwent polysomnography tests Sleeping Sector Ear, Nose, Throat, Cardiopulmonary (LabSono) Departments Gaffrée Guinle University Hospital (HUGG), from 10/17/2011 to 04/16/2015. The variables relating SB were collected by direct research medical records patients. RESULTS In a series 83 patients, we...
Introduction American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL) treatment is based on pentavalent antimonials (Sb 5+ ), but these drugs have been associated to several adverse effects. Hearing loss and tinnitus during with meglumine antimoniate (MA) already reported. This study aimed describe the usefulness of self-reporting hearing in diagnosing MA-induced ototoxicity. Methods A prospective longitudinal was conducted 102 patients parasitological diagnosis ATL, treated different MA schemes. The...
To correlate anatomical and functional changes of the oral cavity, pharynx larynx to severity obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).We conducted a cross-sectional study 66 patients both genders, aged between 21 59 years old with complaints snoring / or apnea. All underwent full clinical evaluation, including physical examination, nasolarybgoscopy polisonography. We classified individuals into groups by value apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), calculated measures association analyzed differences...
A avaliação otorrinolaringológica tem grande importância na pesquisa de alterações anatômicas em indivíduos com suspeita Síndrome da Apneia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAOS), cuja gênese multifatorial uma abordagem multidisciplinar, mas é necessária sempre adequada visão anatômica das vias aéreas superiores (VAS). Esta visa compreender melhor as características doença e, assim, propor o tipo tratamento individualmente. Aqui dada ênfase ao exame antropométrico destes pacientes, à orofaringe,...
