Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Advances in upper airway evaluation, along with the improved
understanding of OSA phenotypes and evolving approaches to surgical techniques,
have enabled targeted multi-level interventions for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A
variety of surgical techniques to address the nasal cavity, palate, oropharynx,
hypopharynx, tongue, epiglottis and facial skeleton exist. Surgery has proven to be an
effective treatment modality that reduces objective and subjective OSA measures as
well as associated neurocognitive and cardiovascular morbidities.
