Ryan, Hisham AlshaerAbstractBackgroundThe impact of simple snoring on sleep structure and sleepiness has not been well described. In several studies, self-reported snoring was associated with increased daytime sleepiness. However, most studies did not distinguish patients with simple snoring from those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using objective...

AbstractA growing body of literature documents how exposure to another person’s fear-related body odorants can increase one’s own anxiety and interfere with processing of social information, such as facial expression and impression formation. Building on these results, we aimed to 1) test the hypothesis that exposure to fear-related odorant would affect impression formation through fear contagion and 2) verify whether these effects can be observed in an ecologically valid (i.e. virtual) environment....

Abstract Purpose The traditional fitting method for cochlear implants (CI), the single-channel fitting (SCF), is effective but time-consuming. A fitting method that is significantly faster to perform, but provides at least equivalent speech understanding and subjective benefit would be of clinical usefulness. The study explored the ability of flat strategy-based fitting (FSBF) maps to fill this need. ...

Comparison of intubation and tracheotomy in adult patients with acute epiglottitis or supraglottitis
Abstract Purpose In acute epiglottitis (AE) or acute supraglottitis (AS), the management of the airway is crucial. We hypothesized that tracheotomized patients recover faster than intubated patients do. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all adult AE and AS patients, who underwent intubation or tracheotomy between 2007 and 2018 in a tertiary care center....

Abstract Background Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a complex skin disease involving causative effects from both intrinsic and extrinsic sources. Murine models of the disease often fall short in one of these components and as a result, do not fully encapsulate these disease mechanisms. Objective We aimed to determine whether the protease‐activated receptor 2 over‐expressor mouse (PAR2OE) with topical house dust mite (HDM) application is a more comprehensive and clinically representative AD model....
