    Pharyngeal airway changes after orthognathic surgery have been concerned because of the effects on breathing function of the patients. Moreover, sleep quality of patients can be improved or worsened by these changes. Obstructive sleep apnea is a... disorder characterized by episode of pharyngeal airway collapse. It may be better following a maxillomandibular advancement surgery or may be worsened or developed after mandibular setback surgery. The purpose of this study is to review the changes

    Volumetric Changes in the Pharyngeal Airways of Skeletal Class III Patients Following Various Orthognathic Surgeries: A Short-/Long-Term Follow-Up
    (2026-01-01) Soodtoetong U.; Kitisubkanchana J.; Srimaneekarn N.; Seifert L.B.; Vorakulpipat C.; Soodtoetong U.; Mahidol University
    Orthognathic surgery corrects skeletal deformities affecting the pharyngeal airway. This study assessed immediate and long-term volumetric changes in the airway after surgery. In this observational study, upon orthognathic surgery, 52 class III... prediction model for % change in pharyngeal volume using ∆B (P<0.05). Orthognathic surgery, particularly isolated mandibular setback, narrows the pharyngeal airway. Monitoring postoperative airway changes is crucial, especially for obstructive sleep apnea

    Performance enhancement of deep learning based solutions for pharyngeal airway space segmentation on MRI scans
    (2024-12-01) Leeraha C.; Kusakunniran W.; Yodrabum N.; Chaisrisawadisuk S.; Vathanophas V.; Siriapisith T.; Leeraha C.; Mahidol University
    The automatic segmentation of the pharyngeal airway space has many potential medical use, one of which is to help facilitate the creation of the Tubingen Palatal Plate. Therefore, it is of great importance to understand which methods are suitable..., while others were taken from the medical or pharyngeal airway space segmentation literature. Some models are convolutional neural networks, while others are transformer-based model or a mix of both convolutional and transformer-based model. These models

    Automated Computed Tomography Segmentation of the Pharyngeal Airway and Palate to Accelerate Tübingen Palatal Plate Fabrication in Pierre Robin Sequence
    (2025-12-10) Yodrabum N.; Vongviriyangkoon T.; Apichonbancha S.; Kuskunniran W.; Leeraha C.; Siriapisith T.; Tantipanichkul K.o.; Vathanophas V.; Chaisrisawadisuk S.; Yodrabum N.; Mahidol University
    requires serial intraoral impressions and repeated nasoendoscopy, which prolongs airway compromise. Computed tomography (CT) enables single-session virtual spur design, yet manual pharyngeal airway and hard palate segmentation is labor-intensive, delaying...Infants with Pierre Robin sequence frequently develop upper airway obstruction due to micrognathia and glossoptosis. The Tübingen palatal plate repositions the tongue base anteriorly to improve airway patency; however, conventional fabrication

    The Ramathibodi Nasal filter in a simulated human airway: Evaluated with laser smoke particles and a laser diode dust portable monitor
    (2001-12-01) Kunchitthape Tanpowpong; Chumroon Chiratthiti; Mahidol University; Thailand Ministry of Public Health
    The Ramathibodi nasal .filter was specially designed as a personal respiratory protective device. It was attached to a simulated human airway composed of a nasal and pharyngeal model, airway passage and lung model machine. The system was run in a... laser smoke particles environment. The laser smoke particles with suspended particulate matter size of less than 15, 10 and 2.5 microns (PM15, PM10 and PM2.5) were selected. The amount of each particle size in the simulated human airway with and without

    Choanal atresia
    (2009-05-01) Paraya Assanasen; Choakchai Metheetrairut; Mahidol University
    Choanal atresia is caused by failure of resorption of the bucco-pharyngeal membrane during embryonic development. The atresia can be membranous or bony in nature, but is usually mixed in most cases. When the atresia is bilateral, newborns can have... severe airway distress and cyanosis is alleviated by crying. Bilateral choanal atresia is managed with an oropharyngeal airway. Flexible nasal endoscopy and computed tomography can confirm the diagnosis. Surgery is the definitive treatment with two main

    Efficacy of the Ramathibodi nasal filter in a simulated human airway evaluated by a laser diode portable dust monitor under low laser smoke particle concentration
    (2002-02-01) Kunchitthape Tanpowpong; Chumroon Chiratthiti; Mahidol University; Thailand Ministry of Public Health
    The Ramathibodi nasal filter attached to a simulated human airway was proposed to filter laser smoke particles. The simulated human airway composed of nasal and pharyngeal model, airway passage and lung model machine which mimicked the human... to March 2000. The simulated human airway got an equal amount of laser smoke particles in a sealed plastic box for 1 min. The residual amount of laser smoke particles in a closed system of the simulated human airway was measured by a laser diode portable
