Diatoms are one of the most ecologically successful classes of photosynthetic marine
eukaryotes in the contemporary oceans. Over the past 30 million years, they have helped to …

Isono, Shiroh, John E Remmers, Atsuko Tanaka, Yasuhide Sho, Jiro Sato, and Takashi
Nishino. Anatomy of pharynx in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and in normal subjects.J. …

Photosynthesis in marine diatoms is a vital fraction of global primary production empowered
by CO 2 -concentrating mechanisms. Acquisition of HCO 3 − from seawater is a critical …

Obesity and craniofacial abnormalities may contribute to the pathogenesis of obstructive
sleep apnea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of body habitus and …

Study objectives To examine dose-dependent effects of mandibular advancement on
collapsibility of the passive pharynx and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Design Prospective, …

The velopharynx is the most common site of obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA). Advancement of the mandible effectively reverses the pharyngeal obstruction. …

Background Reduction of nocturnal obstructive events during lateral position in patients with
obstructive sleep apnea was previously reported. However, little information is available …

Agulhas rings provide the principal route for ocean waters to circulate from the Indo-Pacific
to the Atlantic basin. Their influence on global ocean circulation is well known, but their role …

Diatoms are unicellular, mainly photosynthetic, eukaryotes living within elaborate silicified
cell walls and believed to be responsible for around 40% of global primary productivity in the …

A collapsible tube surrounded by soft material within a rigid box was proposed as a two-dimensional
mechanical model for the pharyngeal airway. This model predicts that changes in …
