Introduction: obstructive sleep apnea is a common disease that is recognized as the leading cause of occupational injuries and accidents. Proper assessment and treatment of employees affected by this disease can reduce the numerous side effects if the methods used to identify and treat these patients are evidence based and are applicable in our country. Methods: In order to standardize the c...
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to evaluate the correlation between oropharyngeal examination and objective palatine tonsil volume in snoring adults and verify the influence of the oropharyngeal anatomy, body mass index, age, and severity of obstructive sleep apnea on actual tonsil volume. In addition, we aimed to assess the influence of tonsil size on obstructive sleep apnea in adults. ...
BACKGROUND Hypoglossal nerve stimulation has been demonstrated to relieve upper airway obstruction acutely, but its effect on obstructive sleep apnea is not known. OBJECTIVE To determine the response in obstructive sleep apnea to electrical stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve. METHODS Eight patients with obstructive sleep apnea were implanted with a device that stimulated the hypoglossal n...
Nocturnal cardiac arrhythmia is a common clinical feature of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Pathologically relevant rhythm disturbances such as atrioventricular block or ventricular tachycardia are known to occur mainly in patients with a high apnea-hypopnea index and marked oxygen desaturation. We report on a patient with mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome who nevertheless showed intermi...
Several studies of sleep-breathing physiology have suggested that sleep deprivation may worsen obstructive sleep apnea. The aim of the study was to determine the direct effect of night work on breathing variables during sleep in fast-rotating shift workers. Twenty one men - police officers, fast-rotating shift workers, underwent polysomnography on 2 occasions: under a normal sleeping condition ...
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate epidemiological relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sleep apnea syndrome in a sample of Persian population. METHODS As a part of a population-based cross-sectional study, 3900 randomly selected individuals aged 15 years or older were invited to take part in the survey; 3770 individuals (96.6%) agreed to fill out the r...
Sympathetic activation and sleep apnea are present in most patients with symptomatic systolic heart failure (HF). Acutely, obstructive and central apneas increase muscle sympathetic activity (MSNA) during sleep by eliciting recurrent hypoxia, hypercapnia, and arousal. In obstructive sleep apnea patients with normal systolic function, this increase persists after waking. Whether coexisting sleep...
Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder of airflow at the nose and mouth during sleep. Patients with undiagnosed sleep apnea represent a major public health problem. Dental professionals have a unique doctor patient relationship that can help them in recognizing the sleep disorder and managing the patients along with a physician or a sleep specialist. Oral appliance therapy is an important ...
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs frequently in patients with drug-resistant hypertension. The factors accounting for this observation, however, are unclear. Both conditions demonstrate clinical features suggestive of extracellular fluid volume overload. The aims of this study were to examine whether the spontaneous overnight fluid shift from the legs to the upper body is associated with obstructi...
objectives: obstructive sleep apnea (osa) can lead to various cardiovascular disorders (cvd) such as hypertension. there is no documented data about this relationship among the iranian population. the aim of this study was to obtain comprehensive information about the severity of osa as a cause of cvd and its relationship with other important risk factors. materials and methods: in this cross s...
