Acute Effects of the Wim Hof Breathing Method on Repeated Sprint Ability: A Pilot Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2021
The Wim Hof breathing method (WHBM) combines periods of hyperventilation (HV) followed by voluntary breath-holds (BH) at low lung volume. It has been increasingly adopted by coaches and their athletes to improve performance, but there was no published ...

High-Resolution Pulse Oximetry and Titration of a Mandibular Advancement Device for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: To determine whether utilizing high-resolution pulse oximetry is a viable method for evaluating the successful titration of oral appliances for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.Methods: Of 136 consecutive potentially ...

Reverse Trendelenburg’s position vs. supine-horizontal position for induction of general anesthesia in obese neurosurgical patients [PDF]

open access: yesSrpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2006
Introduction: The induction of general endotracheal anesthesia (GETA) is associated with variable period of apnea. Obese patients have reduced oxygen supply during period of apnea.

A 1D-CNN Based Deep Learning Technique for Sleep Apnea Detection in IoT Sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Internet of Things (IoT) enabled wearable sensors for health monitoring are widely used to reduce the cost of personal healthcare and improve quality of life. The sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, characterized by the abnormal reduction or pause in breathing, greatly affects the quality of sleep of an individual.

The Effect of Breathing Patterns Common to Competitive Swimming on Gas Exchange and Muscle Deoxygenation During Heavy-Intensity Fartlek Exercise

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
During competitive freestyle swimming, the change of direction requires a turn followed by ∼15 m of underwater kicking at various intensities that require a ∼5 s breath-hold (BH). Upon surfacing, breathing must be regulated, as head rotation is necessary

The Relationship Between Slow Wave Sleep and Blood Oxygen Saturation Among Patients With Apnea: Retrospective Study [PDF]

open access: yesSleep Medicine Research, 2023
Background and Objective Prior research suggests that slow wave sleep (SWS) is disrupted in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it was not clear whether the reduction in SWS is related to abnormal breathing or the extent of OSA as ...

Clinical risk factors predictive of thrombotic stroke with large cerebral infarction

open access: yesNeurology International, 2019
Large cerebral infarctions have high morbidity and mortality. Patients with large cerebral infarctions may have recurrent ischemia as high as 8.1% within 7 days; highest among other types of strokes.

Multispectral Video Fusion for Non-contact Monitoring of Respiratory Rate and Apnea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Continuous monitoring of respiratory activity is desirable in many clinical applications to detect respiratory events. Non-contact monitoring of respiration can be achieved with near- and far-infrared spectrum cameras. However, current technologies are not sufficiently robust to be used in clinical applications.

ApSense: Data-driven Algorithm in PPG-based Sleep Apnea Sensing [PDF]

open access: yes2024 IEEE Internet of Things Journal, vol. 11, no. 20, pp. 33915-33926, 2023
Detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is essential for diagnosing and managing sleep health. Traditionally, this involves clinical settings with hardly accessible processes. We propose that the automated detection of OSA events is achievable using features extracted from fingertip photoplethysmography (PPG) signals combined with modern deep learning (

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.
