10/01/2009 - "Tonsillectomy and steroid pulse (TSP) therapy was proposed as a curative treatment for IgA nephropathy by Hotta et al. (Am J Kidney Dis 38:736-742, 2001) based on data that about 50% of patients achieved clinical remission (CR) of urinary abnormalities. "

07/01/2012 - "Tonsillectomy has beneficial effects on remission and progression of IgA nephropathy independent of steroid therapy."
01/01/2007 - "Recently we reported a significant impact of tonsillectomy and steroid pulse therapy on clinical remission in our IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients and indicated that clinical remission might terminate the progressive deterioration in renal function. "
10/01/2001 - "Tonsillectomy and steroid pulse therapy significantly impact on clinical remission in patients with IgA nephropathy."

10/01/2015 - "Tonsillectomy reduced symptoms of chronic or recurrent tonsillitis in adults with remarkable effectiveness. "
12/01/2004 - "Our findings suggest that it is very difficult to predict the efficacy of tonsillectomy and steroid pulse therapy based on the gross appearance of tonsils, the tonsillar provocation test or clinical episodes of tonsillitis. "
01/01/1988 - "In general, it is thought that tonsillectomy is very effective for habitual tonsillitis, but we must be more careful in deciding such an indication."
11/01/2009 - "Furthermore, a significant reduction was seen in the number of children below the age of 5 years undergoing tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis (chi(2) = 14.66; P < 0.001). "
11/01/2002 - "We conclude that tonsillectomy results in significant improvement in quality of life, decreases health-care utilization, and diminishes the economic burden of chronic tonsillitis in the adult patient population."

04/01/2014 - "Conclusion Cooling of the oropharynx after tonsillectomy promotes clinically significant reduction in postoperative pain, without additional complications. "
05/01/2006 - "Significant reduction in postoperative pain was found in the patients with coblation tonsillectomy. "

01/01/2005 - "A three-year observational study of patients undergoing tonsillectomy at the University Hospital of the West Indies was conducted to determine the incidence of postoperative vomiting. "
10/01/2015 - "Specific FAAH polymorphisms are associated with refractory PONV, opioid-related RD, and prolonged PACU stay due to opioid adverse effects in white children undergoing tonsillectomy."
10/01/2015 - "Five specific FAAH single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) had significant associations with more than twofold increased risk for refractory PONV (adjusted P<0.0018), and nominal associations (P<0.05) with RD and prolonged PACU stay in white children undergoing tonsillectomy. "
