[Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the upper airway muscles].
Pharyngeal muscles are prone to distorsion during inspiratory negative pressure. Some pharyngeal muscles, called pharyngeal dilatators, exhibit tonic and/or phasic inspiratory activity. At the velar level, tensor palatini, glossopharyngeus, palatopharyngeus and musculus uvula drive the airflow towards nasal or buccal breathing. Genioglossus and geniohyoid muscles exert a forward propulsion to t...
متن کاملApert Syndrome with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Case Report
Apert syndrome is a rare kind of craniosynostosis which is identified with fusion of cranial sutures during prematurity period and causes physical and intellectual disorders in younger ages. These patients may show symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea due to abnormal craniofacial shape. This article introduces a patient with Apert syndrome, with apnea symptoms, cyanosis, snoring, restlessness, n...
متن کامل[Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome].
This is an overview for the non-specialist of the pathophysiology, workup and treatment of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The mechanisms leading to upper airway closure during sleep are discussed, as well as the current theoretical and experimental concepts for the apnea-induced arousal response and the consequent changes in sleep architecture and quality. Epidemiological data are summar...
متن کاملPotential inflammatory markers in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a complex chronic inflammatory respiratory disease with multiple pathogenic factors and high morbidity and mortality. Serum levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), and surfactant protein D (SPD) were investigated in OSAHS patients, to determine their clinical significance and correlation with the pathog...
متن کاملSleep obstructive apnea syndrome consequences.
Many paleontologists believe that between 200 and 300 thousand years ago, human ancestors started to suffer their most important anatomical change: the transformation of the upper airways. Such change included facial shortening, foramen magnus anteriorization, angle reduction between the horizontal and vertical portions of the upper airway, and especially larynx descending. This new configurati...
