چکیده
Objective Recent studies have revealed that sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and their factors, as well traffic accidents. Although SAS screening early treatment are important, truck drivers may avoid to prevent denial application for life insurance due receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. Thus, this study investigated how companies handle patients on

Changes in Neurocognitive Architecture in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic, multisystem disorder that has a bidirectional relationship with several major neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's dementia. Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) offers some protection from the effects of OSA, although it is still unclear which populations should be targeted, for how long, and what the effects ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To identify standard clinical parameters that may predict the optimal level of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective study in a tertiary academic medical center that included 129 adult patients (117 males and 12 females) with OSAHS confirmed by diagnostic p...

متن کاملSleep structure correlates of continuous positive airway pressure variations during application of an autotitrating continuous positive airway pressure machine in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relationship between sleep structure and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered by an automatic CPAP (auto-CPAP) machine in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). DESIGN Nocturnal polysomnography was performed during CPAP administration by an auto-CPAP machine (Autoset Clinical 1; ResMed; Sydney, Australia). SETTING Sleep-disord...
