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,

Development of an IoT-Based Sleep Apnea Monitoring System for Healthcare Applications [PDF]
, 2022 Sleep is an essential and vital element of a person life and health that helps to refresh and recharge the mind and body of a person. The quality of sleep is very important in every person lifestyle, removing various diseases. Bad sleep is a big problem for a lot of people for a very long time.

Cellular Glucose Uptake During Breath-Hold Diving in Experienced Male Breath-Hold Divers
Sports Medicine - Open, 2018 Background The physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms that govern diving, both self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) and breath-hold diving (BH-diving), are in large part well known, even if there are still many unknown aspects ...

Serum bilirubin and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations
Respiratory Research, 2017 Background Bilirubin is a potent anti-oxidant and higher serum concentrations of bilirubin have been associated with better lung function, slower lung function decline, and lower incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Neuromodulatory Support for Breathing and Cardiovascular Action During Development
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021 Neonatal survival requires precise control of breathing and cardiovascular action, with fatal consequences or severe injury without support. Prematurity presents multiple opportunities to disrupt cardiorespiratory regulation, leading to expressions of ...

SomnNET: An SpO2 Based Deep Learning Network for Sleep Apnea Detection in Smartwatches [PDF]
, 2021 The abnormal pause or rate reduction in breathing is known as the sleep-apnea hypopnea syndrome and affects the quality of sleep of an individual. A novel method for the detection of sleep apnea events (pause in breathing) from peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) signals obtained from wearable devices is discussed in this paper.

Sleep Science and Practice, 2017 Oral appliance (OA) therapy is a promising alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). By holding the mandible in a forward position, an OA keeps the airway open and prevents collapse.

Hypoxic Respiratory Chemoreflex Control in Young Trained Swimmers
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 During an apnea, changes in PaO2 activate peripheral chemoreceptors to increase respiratory drive. Athletes with continuous apnea, such as breath-hold divers, have shown a decrease in hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), which could explain the long apnea
