Evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea: an analysis based on aberrant genes
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an upstream disorder that frequently causes multisystem disorders. Much research has revealed the pathogenesis of OSA, but there is still a lack of research on the complication...

Influence of postural changes on nasal resistance in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
Increased nasal resistance (NR) can augment upper airway collapse in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Posture change can lead to altered nasal resistance. Our study aimed to investigate the influen...

Two-Dimensional Reconstruction of Cochlea
The cochlea, the auditory portion of the inner ear, is coiled upon itself around the modiolus like a snail shell and makes 2½ to 2¾ turns. The basal turn (the largest in diameter) is the medial wall of the mid...

Two-Dimensional Observation of Man-Made Tiny Lesion Models in Temporal Bone
The small size and complex components of the ear need application of high resolution imaging techniques for accurate depiction of their anatomy (Hermans et al. 1995). In practice, high resolution images are de...
