15. Pharyngeal airway space cephalometric evaluation in transverse maxillary deficient patients after SARME
Aim: To evaluate prospectively the upper airway of 16 patients submitted to surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Methods: Volumetric tomography acquisitions were done preoperatively (T1) and after six months postoperatively (T2), the slices were obtained from the hard palate to the third cervical vertebra (C3), the images were imported and reconstr

16. Velar activity in individuals with velopharyngeal insufficiency assessed by acoustic rhinometry
Acoustic rhinometry is routinely used for the evaluation of nasal patency. Objective: To investigate whether the technique is able to identify the impairment of velopharyngeal (VP) activity in individuals with clinical diagnosis of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). Methods: Twenty subjects with repaired cleft palate and inadequate velopharyngeal functio

17. Detection of Respiratory Viruses in Nasopharyngeal Swab and Adenoid Tissue from Children Submitted to Adenoidectomy: Pre- and Postoperative Analysis
Introduction The presence of respiratory viruses in lymphoid tissues of the nasopharynx and oropharynx and its impact on recurrent infections and hypertrophy of these tissues are not yet fully understood. Objective To identify and determine the prevalence of major respiratory viruses in nasopharyngeal secretions and adenoid tissue pre- and postoperative

18. Changes in pharyngeal airway space and soft tissue after maxillary advancement and bimaxillary surgery
AIM: To evaluate changes in pharyngeal airway space (nasopharynx and oropharynx), soft palate and lingual vallecula after maxillary advancement surgery and maxillary advancement and mandibular setback surgery (bimaxillary surgery). METHODS: Twenty Class III adult patients were included in the study. Ten patients were treated with maxillary advancement

19. Comparison of videonasoendoscopy and auditory-perceptual evaluation of speech in individuals with cleft lip/palate
INTRODUCTION: The velopharyngeal sphincter (VPS) is a muscle belt located between the oropharynx and the nasopharynx. Investigations of velopharyngeal function should include an auditory-perceptual evaluation and at least 1 instrument-based evaluation such as videonasoendoscopy. AIM: To compare the findings of auditory-perceptual evaluation (hypernasality) a

20. Giant cystadenoma of the floor of the mouth: a case report
INTRODUCTION: Cystadenoma is an uncommon epithelial neoplasia that arises from the salivary glands. The malignancy can affect structures such as the larynx, nasopharynx, buccal mucosa, and palate. OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of a giant cystadenoma of the floor of the mouth treated at a public hospital in midwestern Brazil. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 46

21. Dermoid of the Nasopharynx Causing Neonatal Respiratory Distress
The dermoid is a rare and benign malformation of bigerminal origin. It is seen frequently in the neonatal period, and the clinical presentation depends on the site and on the size of the lesion, and the classical clinical picture is of a tumor derived from the naso- or oropharynx, leading to respiratory distress and/or feeding disorders. A female newborn was

22. Disposable surgical face masks for preventing surgical wound infection in clean surgery
BACKGROUND: Surgical face masks were originally developed to contain and filter droplets containing microorganisms expelled from the mouth and nasopharynx of healthcare workers during surgery, thereby providing protection for the patient. However, there are several ways in which surgical face masks could potentially contribute to contamination of the surgica

23. Avaliação das vias aeríferas superiores, antes e após expansão rápida da maxila, utilizando Tomografia Computadorizada por Feixe Cônico / Assessment of upper airway before and after rapid maxillary expansion using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
The predominantly oral breathing is constantly cited as an etiological factor for the transverse maxillary deficiency. Rapid Maxillary Expansion is an excellent method for the correction of malocclusion, through the opening of the midpalatal sutures. The literature shows that the benefits of this procedure are beyond the dental benefits, and could have reper

24. Tipagem molecular da cápsula de Haemophilus influenzae isolados da nasofaringe de crianças de creches de Goiânia / Molecular typing of the capsule of Haemophilus influenzae isolated from the nasopharynx of children in daycare centers in Goiânia
Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) causes infection in children, and is presented in two ways: with six encapsulated serotypes a-f and non-encapsulated or nontypeable (NTHi). Capsulated strains are responsible for a variety of invasive diseases, with meningitis being the most frequent. Nontypeable strains are responsible for respiratory tract infections and acute o
