Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea contributes to cardiovascular morbidity, and its treatment may mitigate this risk. Continuous positive airway pressure and mandibular advancement devices are established therapies, but their comparative cardiometabolic effects remain uncertain.

Parapharyngeal Fat Pads as an Obesity‐Related Parameter for Apnea‐Hypopnea Index Severity
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, the association between obstructive sleep apnea severity and the parapharyngeal fat pad volume is examined in a population‐based sample. We included 680 participants who underwent standardised overnight polysomnography between 2008 and 2012 as part of the Study of Health in Pomerania in a sleep laboratory in Greifswald, Germany.

Thoracoabdominal Asynchrony in Healthy Children
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Measuring asynchrony between the thorax and abdomen during sleep provides information about inspiratory effort and upper airway obstruction in children, aiding in the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aimed to define a normative range for thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA) in healthy children by studying polysomnographies ...

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Unilateral craniofacial microsomia (UCM) presents varying unilateral deficiencies of the temporomandibular joint, mandibular ramus, masticatory muscles, and adjacent soft tissues and ear. Reduced mandibular and maxillary dimensions may decrease upper airway volume and may increase the risk of sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB).

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.Abstract On the one hand, higher education can encourage childbearing through the income effect. On the other hand, it also raises opportunity costs, potentially reducing fertility through the substitution effect. Although the traditionally negative association between education and fertility has been attributed to these costs, recent findings suggest ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.
