• Neoadjuvant GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Sleep Surgery No abstract Published: 2025-01-02
• Reasonable Risk Ratio of Palate Surgery: A New Critical Analysis CONCLUSION.: RRR provides a summarized data-driven, statistical guide to aid decision-making, and helps in patient counseling. BRP and ESP have been shown to have less complications compared to mUPPP.Level of evidence: IV. Published: 2024-09-17
• Clinical outcomes of expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty-a 17-year systematic review CONCLUSIONS: Seventeen years on, the expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty has demonstrated not only increase in anatomical area and volume but significant desired improvements in polysomnographic, clinical and biochemical parameters post-surgery. Published: 2024-02-05
• Performance of artificial intelligence chatbots in sleep medicine certification board exams: ChatGPT versus Google Bard CONCLUSIONS: Otolaryngologists and sleep medicine physicians have a crucial role through agile and robust research to ensure the next generation AI chatbots are built safely and responsibly. Published: 2023-12-20
• Expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty in OSA: a 15 year review CONCLUSION: After 15 years of presence, the expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty has shown to be reliably effective in the management of patients with OSA. Published: 2023-03-01
• International Consensus Statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea CONCLUSION: This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery,...

• Does nasal surgery improve multilevel surgical outcome in obstructive sleep apnea: A multicenter study on 735 patients CONCLUSION: Combining nose surgery in multilevel surgery improves surgical success. Published: 2020-12-28
• Does Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Improve Sleep Surgery Outcomes? No abstract Published: 2020-04-19
• In Response to Letter: DISE, Tonsil Size, Surgical Outcome No abstract Published: 2020-04-17
• Can Smartphone Apps Be Used to Screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnea No abstract Published: 2020-04-17
• SLEEP-GOAL: A multicenter success criteria outcome study on 302 obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients CONCLUSION: AHI as a single parameter is unreliable. Assessing true success outcomes of OSA treatment, requires comprehensive and holistic parameters, reflecting true end-organ injury/function; the SLEEP-GOAL meets these requirements. Published: 2020-04-14
• Long-term Complications of Palate Surgery: A Multicenter Study of 217 Patients CONCLUSIONS: Newer palatal techniques have shown to have less long-term complications compared to the older ablative techniques. Published: 2019-11-26
• SPARC promotes self-renewal of limbal epithelial stem cells and ocular surface restoration through JNK and p38-MAPK signaling pathways The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) on the maintenance of limbal epithelial stem cell (LESC) stemness and restoration of ocular surface. To determine the suitable concentration of SPARC for LESC culture, the marker expression, mitogenic effect, and holoclone-forming capacity of LESCs treated with different concentrations of SPARC were analyzed. To investigate the mechanism of SPARC's action on the preservation of LESCs... Published: 2019-10-24
• Predictors of difficulty in intubation in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea CONCLUSION: This study illustrates that difficult intubation can be predicted pre-surgery in order to avert any anaesthetic morbidity. Published: 2019-05-13
• Does drug-induced sleep endoscopy affect surgical outcome? A multicenter study of 326 obstructive sleep apnea patients CONCLUSIONS: DISE may not significantly affect surgical success in OSA. Published: 2019-04-18
