Upper airway morphology in Down Syndrome patients under dexmedetomidine sedation

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (4), 2016
Abstract Background and objectives: Children with Down Syndrome are vulnerable to significant upper airway obstruction due to relative macroglossia and dynamic airway collapse.

Avaliação das alterações nas vias aéreas superiores através de tomografia computadorizada Cone-Beam em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia ortognática de avanço bimaxilar

Introdução: O descontentamento com a estética facial é considerado o fator motivador mais frequente na procura pela cirurgia ortognática, visto que este é o procedimento indicado nos casos de severas discrepâncias dentoesqueléticas em pacientes adultos. A anatomia das vias aéreas superiores (VAS...

Avaliação das vias aéreas superiores por meio de tomografia computadorizada Cone-beam em pacientes Classe III submetidos à cirurgia bimaxilar

Introdução: Dependendo da magnitude da má oclusão de Classe III, esta é uma alteração difícil de ser tratada apenas com a correção ortodôntica. Tanto as cirurgias de recuo mandibular quanto as bimaxilares promovem uma melhora na oclusão, na função mastigatória e na estética facial, ao cor...

Carotid body Thermoreceptors, sympathetic neural activation, and cardiometabolic disease

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor that senses the arterial PO2, PCO2 and pH. In response to hypoxemia, hypercapnia and acidosis, carotid chemosensory discharge elicits reflex respiratory, autonomic and cardiovascular adjustments. The classical construct considers the CB as the ma...
