ABSTRACT Oral dryness is common in persons with untreated obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) as well as in those using positive airway pressure (PAP). OSA with or without PAP treatment could therefore be a risk factor of dental caries. Objectives To describe and compare the prevalence of dental caries among persons with or without PAP‐treated OSA.

Case reports of oral appliance therapy on three young adults with Down syndrome and OSA
Abstract Patients with Down syndrome (DS) have a high incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to hypotonia, weight, underdeveloped midface, and relative macroglossia. This article presents three cases of young adults with DS, who were diagnosed with mild to severe OSA and unable to tolerate positive airway pressure therapy.

Metrology of two wearable sleep trackers against polysomnography in patients with sleep complaints
Summary Sleep trackers are used widely by patients with sleep complaints, however their metrological validation is often poor and relies on healthy subjects. We assessed the metrological validity of two commercially available sleep trackers (Withings Activité/Fitbit Alta HR) through a prospective observational monocentric study, in adult patients ...

This scheme illustrates the main results of the present study showing an increase in circulating free fatty acids (FFA) that are likely to be related to several mechanisms like decrease in FFA insulin sensitivity and increase in FFA production. Significant changes are labelled in white, and non‐significant or hypothesis are labelled in pale green ...

Association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and COVID‐19 severity
Summary Obstructive sleep apnea and sleep‐related hypoxia have been associated with higher rates of hospitalization and mortality among patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). We further explored the association between obstructive sleep apnea, COVID‐19 severity and related mortality.

The dynamics of cyclic‐periodic phenomena during non‐rapid and rapid eye movement sleep
Summary Sleep is a complex physiological state characterized by distinct stages, each exhibiting unique electroencephalographic patterns and physiological phenomena. Sleep research has unveiled the presence of intricate cyclic‐periodic phenomena during both non‐rapid eye movement and rapid eye movement sleep stages. These phenomena encompass a spectrum

The effects of simulated obstructive apnea and hypopnea on arrhythmic potential in healthy subjects [PDF]
Preliminary evidence supports an association between OSA and cardiac dysrhythmias. Negative intrathoracic pressure, as occurring during OSA, may provoke cardiac dysrhythmias.
