Effects of the CPAP Treatment on the NON-REM Sleep Microstructures in Patients with Severe Apnea-Hypoapnea Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Sleep quality is affected in patients with sleep apnea- hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) with nocturnal and diurnal consequences. Most of these patients who are treated with positive airway pressure (CPAP) return to normal sleep patterns.

Effectiveness of Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery in sleep apnea treatment: Case report

open access: yesSleep Science, 2016
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by episodes of pharyngeal collapse during sleep. Craniofacial alterations such as retrognathia are often found in OSA patients. Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgeries increase the pharyngeal space and

Tongue Volume Influences Lowest Oxygen Saturation but Not Apnea-Hypopnea Index in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Objectives The aim of this study was to identify correlations between sleep apnea severity and tongue volume or posterior airway space measured via three-dimensional reconstruction of volumetric computerized tomography (CT) images in patients with ...

Impact of Mask Type on Pharyngeal Opening Pressures During Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Assessment of the impact of mask type on pharyngeal opening pressures during drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is currently lacking. Our study demonstrates that pharyngeal opening pressures at the velum, oropharynx, and tongue base are significantly reduced using nasal vs. full‐face mask techniques.

Predictors of Adenotonsillectomy for Publicly Insured Children With Sleep‐Disordered Breathing

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine sociodemographic factors (e.g., race, ethnicity, rural status) in adenotonsillectomy rates for pediatric obstructive sleep‐disordered breathing with public insurance. Methods This study included patients < 18 years with a diagnosis of obstructive sleep‐disordered breathing with 12‐month follow‐up from 2011 to 2020 using ...

Cardiac autonomic control in the obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

open access: yesLibyan Journal of Medicine, 2015
Introduction: The sympathetic activation is considered to be the main mechanism involved in the development of cardiovascular diseases in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The heart rate variability (HRV) analysis represents a non-invasive tool allowing the
