Increased Risk of Ischemic Stroke during Sleep in Apneic Patients. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The literature indicates that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases the risk of ischemic stroke. However, the causal relationship between OSA and ischemic stroke is not well established.

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.

Role of cerebral blood flow in extreme breath holding

open access: yesTranslational Neuroscience, 2016
The role of cerebral blood flow (CBF) on a maximal breath-hold (BH) in ultra-elite divers was examined. Divers (n = 7) performed one control BH, and one BH following oral administration of the non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin (1.2 mg ...

Increasing Respiratory Effort With 100% Oxygen During Resuscitation of Preterm Rabbits at Birth

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Background: Spontaneous breathing is essential for successful non-invasive respiratory support delivered by a facemask at birth. As hypoxia is a potent inhibitor of spontaneous breathing, initiating respiratory support with a high fraction of inspired O2

Evaluation of human obstructive sleep apnea using computational fluid dynamics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models constructed from CT scans coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...

Sleep clinical record. what differences in school and preschool children? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The sleep clinical record (SCR) may be a valid method for detecting children with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This study aimed to evaluate whether there were differences in SCR depending on age and to identify the possible risk factors for OSA ...
