Sleep 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 ...

Pediatrics, 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 ...

Progress 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,

Sleep Apnea and the Kidney [PDF]
Current 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.

Neurology International, 2011 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects millions of Americans and is estimated to be as prevalent as asthma and diabetes. Given the fact that obesity is a major risk factor for OSA, and given the current global rise in obesity, the prevalence of OSA will increase in the future. Individuals with sleep apnea are often unaware of their sleep disorder. It is

Journal of Pharmacy And Bioallied Sciences, 2017 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a potentially serious disorder attacking millions of people around the world. Many of these individuals are undiagnosed, and even though diagnosed often exhibit a poor compliance with the use of continuous positive airway pressure at nights, a very effective nonsurgical treatment.

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1996 A central sleep apnea is the absence of respiratory effect, and, thus, the absence of airflow during sleep. Central hypopnea, a related disorder, is also discussed. The sensory component of central sleep apnea; defects involving the integrative and executive neurons; non-neurologic causes of central sleep apneas, including chronic obstructive pulmonary

Both the Duration of Apnea and the Number of Apneas Are Important in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Research, 2020 Apnea and hypopnea are generally considered to be equivalent in calculating the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) regardless of their kind and duration. However, we supposed that apnea and hypopnea could differ in their effects on arousal and oxygen desaturation, and that the duration of an occurrence of apnea or hypopnea could also be important.

Sleep Medicine Research, 2019 Scientific investigations in the past few decades have supported the important role of sleep in various domains of health. Sleep apnea is a highly prevalent yet underdiagnosed sleep disorder representing a valid cardiovascular risk factor, particularly for hypertension.
