BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has emerged as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A prothrombotic state may affect coagulation and participate in the atherosclerotic process in subjects with OSAS. These alterations in coagulation seem to involve the plasminogen activation system. We evaluated the imbalances of the plasminogen activation system related to OSAS, and we a...
OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently diagnosed in U.S. military personnel. OSA is associated with sleepiness, poor sleep quality, and service-related illnesses of insomnia, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and traumatic brain injury. METHODS Observational study of active duty military personnel with OSA and adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) assessed with...
We describe a patient with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) whose apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) improved remarkably in the prone position accompanied by an improved sleep quality, despite a higher AHI in the supine position and even in the lateral position. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the most dilated upper airway in the prone position, which suggests the role of anatomical narrowing of the u...
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common chronic disorder which is followed by various complications. Calpain-10 belongs to a commonly expressed member of the Calpain-like cysteine protease family, which acts as risk marker for some diseases. The purpose of this study is to elucidate correlation between Calpain-10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the in...
The relationship between asthma and sleep-disordered breathing is bidirectional due to common risk factors that promote airway inflammation. Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and recurrent wheeze/asthma are conditions that involve the upper and the lower respiratory system, respectively. The aim of the present study was to investigate the sleep disordered breathing in children with recurre...
Article type: Original Article Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are at increased risk of sleep-disorders. The concomitant occurrence of COPD and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is named overlap syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate the severity of OSAHS in overlap syndrome patients. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conduct...
Obstructive sleep apnea and oxygen therapy: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Hypoxemia is an immediate consequence of obstructive sleep apnea. Oxygen (O2) administration has been used as an alternative treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who do not adhere to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in order to reduce the deleterious effects of intermittent hypoxemia during sleep. This systematic review aims to investigate the effects of...
OBJECTIVES Radiofrequency volume reduction (RFTVR) is a minor procedure directed at reducing the tongue base volume to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Subjective and objective treatment effectiveness was evaluated. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Two separate prospective, matched, nonrandomized, open enrollment treatment groups (RFTVR, n = 73 and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP, n = 9...
STUDY OBJECTIVE Animal data suggest that Δ(9)-TetraHydroCannabinol (Δ(9)THC) stabilizes autonomic output during sleep, reduces spontaneous sleep-disordered breathing, and blocks serotonin-induced exacerbation of sleep apnea. On this basis, we examined the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of dronabinol (Δ(9)THC), an exogenous Cannabinoid type 1 and type 2 (CB1 and CB2) receptor agonist in pati...
Abstract Objectives Quantify the effects of head rotation and incline on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity. Design Single-arm, intervention study. Setting Pulmonary specialty clinic. Case presentation Ten adults diagnosed with positional OSA ranging from 32 to 64 years age 6 females, 4 males reporting persistent daytime sleepiness health issues consistent use CPAP. Intervention Standard po...
