Enhanced target organ damage and cardiovascular morbidity represent common issues observed in both resistant hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea. Common pathophysiological features and risk factors justify their coexistence, especially in individuals with increased upper-body adiposity. Impaired sodium handling, sympathetic activation, accelerated arterial stiffening, and impaired cardiore...

Background  Apnea is one of the most common problems in preterm neonates. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of aromatherapy on the reduction of apnea, bradycardia, and Pulse Oximetry (SPO2) in premature infants. Materials and Methods In a clinical trial study, 60 preterm neonates randomly divided in two groups and exposed to aromatherapy with Rosa damascenes distillate or distilled...

AIM Sleep disordered breathing is a common problem in childhood that encompasses a spectrum of disorders extending from primary snoring to obstructive sleep apnea. This study aims to investigate the results of children undergoing evaluation with polysomnography in the sleep laboratory of a tertiary care hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS Demographic and clinical features as well as sleep associat...

background and objective: obstructive sleep apnea (osa) is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing. multivariable apnea prediction (map) index consists of three questions about the frequency of osa symptoms plus body mass index (bmi), age and sex that categorizes the patients to low and high risk for osa using a formula. objective map index was calculated by discounting the questions...

BACKGROUND As many as 80% of patients with asthma suffer from allergic rhinitis (AR), and rhinitis symptoms are associated with sleep complaints The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome risk in patients with asthma and to explore the association between comorbid rhinitis and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome risk. METHODS Subjects w...

The cardiac autonomic system (CAS) is involved in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF), particularly AF’s association with sleep apnea. human CAS response to apnea has not been characterized. feasibility nerve recordings humans established. To record apnea-induced activity before and after AF ablation. Six patients (age 70.8 ± 12.2 years; 66.7% men) undergoing paroxysmal (2/6) or persis...

OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluated data regarding the management of geriatric patients with symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (age, >65 years) who were admitted to our sleep clinic. MATERIAL AND METHODS Symptoms and sleep data of the patients were retrospectively evaluated, and the patients were reevaluated after treatment. RESULTS A total of 85 patients with a median age of ...

Head and neck cancer is a complex pathology whose incidence has increased in recent years. The primary treatment surgery, which involves extensive mutilating interventions through the cervical region, leaving significant anatomofunctional sequelae. Since 2009, use of robotic surgery using Da Vinci® system been consensus for resecting oropharyngeal supraglottic tumors transoral surgery. Subseque...
