“…The exotification of Asian women began well before Thailand was used as a place for Rest and Recreation (R&R) during the Korean War and Vietnam War (Rappa, 2006;2011). Hence the iconic notion of Susie Q, Jim Morrison and Jimmi Hendrix and the entire votive of American music industry with its supporting cast of brilliant drug-induced rock music (Ang, 2006).…”

This study is a qualitative analysis that examines the incentives for Bangkok sex workers to engage farang (foreign tourists) in Thailand. A total of 86 informants were divided into focus group discussions of 5-7 persons per group. Each sex worker (informant) must have lived continuously in Bangkok for at least 10 years. No underaged sex workers participated in the research. The Principal Investigator (PI) made use of non-participant observation along three main themes: (1) why, how, and for how long have they been in the industry; (2) what motivates them to remain in the industry, especially since there are no sex workers' rights in Thailand; and (3) what they think about the idea of being in an industry where body-shaming might ride roughshod in Thailand's conservative Buddhist culture. No names were taken but each was carefully briefed by a local Thai interpreter, and all had to give the PI and his research team permission to conduct the study Five main incentives were deduced: (i) to have intimate interactions with farang vs. local Thai men; (ii) the sex workers' revealed a preference for farang clients who were willing to pay much more; (iii) the perception by both sex workers and clients that sex work and sex tourism was mainly recreational; (iv) a general lack of awareness of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD); (v) the industry was about providing a better life for their families. These incentives represent the group and individual motivations for receiving money in exchange for sexual pleasure.

“…A consequence of this in the long run has been craniofacial changes8 which maintain the mouth breathing pattern, besides causing postural 9 and hearing 10 disorders. Among mouth breathers, it is also common to find the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) 11,12 , a potentially severe clinical situation, as well as primary snoring.…”

It is well known that mouth breathing is associated with adenotonsillar hypertrophy -which is the main cause of obstructive sleep apnea among children. Despite the importance of this matter, there are only a handful of studies showing the relationship between OSAS and mouth breathing.Aim: to determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep disorders in mouth breathing children and study its correlation with otorhinolaryngological findings. Study design: Retrospective cohort study.Method: Data analysis from 248 medical charts of mouth breathing children seen at the Pediatric Otolaryngologic Division of a large medical institution between the years of 2000 and 2006. All patients had nasofibroscopy and or Cavum radiographs and polysomnographic exams. According to the Apnea index, patients were classified as primary snorers (AI<1); and as OSAS (≥1). Results:From 248 patients included in the study, 144 (58%) were primary snorers and 104 (42%) had OSAS. The most prevalent otorhinolaryngological findings were adenotonsillar hypertrophy (n=152; 61.2%), tonsilar hypertrophy (n=17; 6.8%), adenoid hypertrophy (n=37; 14.9%), rhinitis (n=155; 62.5%) and secretory otitis (n=36; 14.5%).Conclusions: primary snoring and OSAS are frequent findings in mouth breathing children. The most frequent otorhinolaryngological disorder in children with OSAS is adenotonsillar hypertrophy with or without rhinitis. Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2010;76(5):552-6. ORIGINAL ARTICLE BJORL
