Co-morbidities associated with obstructive sleep apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Cluster Analysis at Time of Diagnosis

BACKGROUND The classification of obstructive sleep apnea is on the basis of sleep study criteria that may not adequately capture disease heterogeneity. Improved phenotyping may improve prognosis prediction and help select therapeutic strategies. OBJECTIVES This study used cluster analysis to investigate the clinical clusters of obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS An ascending hierarchical clus...

Sleep apnea awakens cancer

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder affecting approximately 4 to 10% of adults that has been implicated in a large spectrum of end-organ morbidities. OSA is characterized by repetitive obstructions of the upper airway during sleep that result in intermittent hypoxia (IH), increased inspiratory efforts, and ultimately sleep fragmentation (SF). A large body of re...

A survey on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and difficult intubation in the elderly

Background and Objectives: Difficult intubation is one of the challenges for patients undergoing anesthesia that leads to severe complications and death. Obstructive sleep apnea is one of the factors that may be associated with difficult intubation. The present study was carried out to investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and difficult intubation in the elderly. Mater...

Apert 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...
