Abstract

Polysomnography(PSG) is essential for the diagnosis of all pathophysiologic conditions due to both any types of sleep disordered breathing and to any types of sleep disturbance. Since this issue's objection is to describe the outline of PSG, we will explain here about when PSG is needed, what type of measurements are necessary for PSG, and how it should be interpreted from the result of the PSG tracing for the diagnosis for sleep apnea syndrome, etc.

The normal and pathological pigmentation of oral mucous membrane: a review.

Pigmentation is both the normal and abnormal discoloration of oral mucous membrane. Pigmentation has multifactorial etiology. Most of the pigmentation is physiologic but sometimes it can be a precursor of severe diseases. Melanin pigment irregularities and color changes of the oral tissues could provide significant diagnostic evidence of both local and systemic disease. The differential diagnosis, clinical, etiology, and histopathological features of pigmentation are discussed and the current literature is reviewed.

The successful medical management of severe duodenal strictures secondary to eosinophilic gastroenteritis in an infant.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon condition of unknown etiology that has only been relatively recently reported. Its clinical manifestations range from a mild disease to more severe forms resembling Crohn's disease. Enteric strictures are a rare but recognized complication of this condition. We report a case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in an infant presenting with severe duodenal strictures that was successfully managed with oral prednisolone. We believe that this is the first reported case of duodenal strictures secondary to eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
