Figures 3 and 4 show the inhalation flow characteristics and the streamlines and contour maps of the flow velocity and pressure, respectively, before and after
UPPP. The pressure contours of the upper airway before
UPPP indicated that low-pressure regions were located at the distal velopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx.
The mean BMI (kg/[m.sup.2]) of group I (modified
UPPP) was 29.21, of group II (classical
UPPP) was 30.27, and group III (n-CPAP) was 31.60 with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.10).
Radio frequency somnoplasty, a procedure is similar to LAUP and
UPPP, but uses sound waves applied through a needle to heat the targeted tissue; this damages the tissue and eventually leads to scarring and shrinkage of the treated areas.
One showed
UPPP to he inferior to CPAP in reducing mortality in patients with sleep apnea, while the other two studies indicated
UPPP and CPAP were comparable.
Thus, some of the
UPPP patients may have received only partial treatment for sleep apnea.
Middle-aged women in white diaphanous robes going
UPPP for joy and DOWWNNNNN for sorrow." She says liturgical dance should "enhance the movement already existing in the liturgy -- the entrance procession, recessional, procession with the gifts at the Preparation (or Offertory, as some still call it) and the Communion.
Surgical methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea include uvulopalatopharyngeoplasty (
UPPP), the surgical resection of the uvula, part of the soft palate, tonsils and possibly other excess tissue in the throat.
Or, snoring/apnea may respond best to surgery on the throat and palate to tighten up flabby tissues and expand the air passages, an operation called UvuloPalatoPharyngoPlasty (
UPPP).
UPPP is a procedure used to remove excess tissue at the back of the throat (tonsils, adenoids, uvula, and part of the soft palate).
Since Fujita et al first described uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (
UPPP) in 1981, (4) many studies have been published about its efficacy and complication rates.

Students at selected universities in 14 countries ranging from Pakistan, UK and Central Europe to the Middle East can apply via the
UPPP online simulation game from 1st to 23rd October 2014.
Students at selected universities in 14 countries ranging from Pakistan the UK and Central Europe to the Middle East have applied through the
UPPP online simulation game says a press release issued here.The top three teams will then get the opportunity to join MOL Group and start their career through the 18-month
UPPP Technical Placement Programme".
The procedures assessed in the studies included uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (
UPPP); laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty; radiofrequency ablation; and various combinations of pharyngoplasty, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, genioglossal advancement septoplasty, ablation of the nasal turbinates, and other nasal surgeries.
