Lymphatic Malformation Initially Presenting as Snoring: A Case Report
We describe a case of lymphatic malformation (LM) with snoring as the primary symptom. The patient, an 11-year-old boy, sought medical attention due to "snoring that had worsened over 3 years, accompanied by shortness of breath for 1 month." The preoperative examination showed that the apnea-hypopnea index during sleep was 33.4. The average overnight blood oxygen saturation was 95.3%, reaching a lowest level of 79.9%. Magnetic resonance imaging identified a space-occupying lesion in the postpharyngeal space, leading to significant compression and narrowing of the pharyngeal cavity. This suggested the possibility of a vascu...

Nearly 200 Years of Sleep Apnea: We ’ve Come a Long Way
In 1836, the first installment of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (also known as The Pickwick Papers), the first novel by English author Charles Dickens, was published. In it he introduces the reader to Joe, the Fat Boy, who is obese, consumes great amounts of food, constantly falls asleep in any situation at any time, is difficult to arouse, and snores. This description so intrigued the medical field that many hypotheses about the symptoms were examined, but it was not until well over a century after the novel was published that physicians started to interrelate these features.

A rare Encounter with Pediatric Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor in Nasal Sinuses and Orbit
AbstractThis case report explores a rare and aggressive Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST) in a 7-year-old child affecting nasal sinuses, maxilla, and orbit, an exceptionally uncommon pediatric manifestation unrelated to Neurofibromatosis 1. The child presented with alarming symptoms —nasal obstruction, snoring, epistaxis, and difficulty swallowing—underscoring the case’s urgency. Non-contrast computed tomography revealed an extensive mass infiltrating nasopharynx, nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinuses, and orbit, causing destructive consequences. Histopathology c onfirmed a high-grade MPNST, ma...

SST: a snore shifted-window transformer method for potential obstructive sleep apnea patient diagnosis
The objective of this study was to develop a noncontact sleep audio signal-based method for diagnosing potential OSA patients, aiming to provide a more convenient diagnostic approach compared to the traditional polysomnography (PSG) testing. Approach. The study employed a shifted window transformer model to detect snoring audio signals from whole-night sleep audio. First, a snoring detection model was trained on large-scale audio datasets. Subsequently, the deep feature statistical metrics of the detected snore audio were used to train a random forest classifier for OSA patient diagnosis. Main results. Using a self-collect...
