The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize evidence regarding the dentofacial
and upper airway features of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with adults. This systematic …

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition causing restriction of the airflow
through the upper airways during sleep, despite preserved inspiratory muscle activity. This …

Background While lower airway remodeling of obstructive lung diseases (OLDs), such as
asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is comprehensively studied, the …

Objective. The aim of this research was to compare three cephalometric analyses and their
correlation with the airway volume in subjects with different skeletal classes using 2D and …

The aim of this investigation was to define the volume and area of the airway in subjects with
