Article Abstract
Introduction: Neck circumference (NC) and anthropometric data of people living with HIV (PLWH) are correlated.
Methods: Socioeconomic, NC, body mass index (BMI), tricipital skinfold thickness (TSF), mid-arm circumference (MAC), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC) data of 72 PLWH were correlated.
Results: Higher adiposity was observed in NC (40.3% [n=29]) and WC (31.9% [n=23]). Correlations between NC/BMI, NC/WC, NC/HC, NC/MAC, NC/MAMC, and NC/WHtR were significant. Increased NC (40.3%[n=29]) and WC (31.9 [n=23]) were associated with higher cardiometabolic risk.
Conclusions: NC correlations are adequate for estimating cardiometabolic risk.

BACKGROUND Pregnancy-related anatomical and physiological changes, such as mucosal edema and increased oxygen demand, heighten risk of difficult airway, especially under general anesthesia. This study compared effects of spinal and general anesthesia on postoperative airway assessment tests in cesarean deliveries. We hypothesized upper airway changes can occur depending on anesthesia technique.

To investigate the relationship between the Palatopharyngeal Arch Staging System（PASS） and the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea（OSA）, as well as the patterns of airway collapse, while further assessing its clinical applicability. A total of 98 patients diagnosed with OSA at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Shenzhen University Affiliated Shenzhen Hospital, were recruited for this study. Data collected included basic demographic information, oropharyngeal laryngoscopy videos, results from awake laryngoscopy Muller tests, and indicators from sleep respiratory monitoring.

National Institute for Occupational Health, a Division of National Health Laboratory Service, 25 Hospital Street, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Objectives: Many South African workers rely on respirators for protection from airborne hazards. To our knowledge, there is no public head and face anthropometric database for Black South African respirator users to inform the design of respirators for these individuals. The objective of our study was to determine the facial dimensions of Black South African respirator users using the 13 facial dimensions recommended by the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Background: With the increasing prevalence of abdominal obesity among children and adolescents, identifying easily measurable, safe, efficient, low-cost, and highly effective indicators is crucial in public health management. While neck-to-height ratio (NHtR) is a better indicator of upper body fat than neck circumference (NC), current research on this indicator mainly assesses its role in obesity and related metabolic diseases among adults. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of the (NHtR) in screening for abdominal obesity among children and adolescents.

Background: The reliable assessment of cervical muscle morphology is essential for both clinical and research use. However, evidence on the reliability of ultrasound measurements remains limited.
Objective: To investigate the intra-rater and test-retest reliability of morphological measurements of the Longus Colli, Sternocleidomastoid, Multifidus Cervicis, and Semispinalis Capitis muscles using musculoskeletal ultrasound.
