Sleep Apnea [PDF]

open access: yesSleep Disorders, 2012
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on sleep apnea, acute changes during apneic episodes, and chronic changes with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Normal human sleep can be divided into rapid eye movement sleep (REM) characterized by desynchronized EEG signals, muscle atony, and dreaming, and nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep characterized by ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.

open access: yesCirculation, 2021
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent complete and partial upper airway obstructive events, resulting in intermittent hypoxemia, autonomic fluctuation, and sleep fragmentation. Approximately 34% and 17% of middle-aged men and women,

Apnea of Prematurity [PDF]

open access: yesPediatrics, 2008
Apnea of prematurity is one of the most common diagnoses in the NICU. Despite the frequency of apnea of prematurity, it is unknown whether recurrent apnea, bradycardia, and hypoxemia in preterm infants are harmful. Research into the development of respiratory control in immature animals and preterm infants has facilitated our understanding of the ...

Mechanisms of Apnea [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2009
This paper focuses on the underlying mechanisms contributing to sleep-disordered breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder and is characterized by repetitive narrowing or collapse of the pharyngeal airway during sleep. Conversely, central sleep apnea (CSA), highly prevalent in congestive heart failure,

Classification of sleep apnea based on EEG sub-band signal characteristics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a disorder in which respiratory airflow frequently stops during sleep. Alterations in electroencephalogram (EEG) signal are one of the physiological changes that occur during apnea, and can be used to diagnose and monitor ...

Sleep Apnea and the Kidney [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Sleep Medicine Reports, 2020
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThere are some uncertainties about the interactions between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We critically reviewed recent studies on this topic with a focus on experimental and clinical evidence of bidirectional influences between OSA and CKD, as well as the effects of treatment of either disease.
