Revisiting the concept that interictal implies asymptomatic: Pulse wave amplitude drops uncover autonomic responses during generalized paroxysmal fast activities

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) activities are generally considered asymptomatic. Pulse wave amplitude drop (PWAD) is a marker of autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity linked to cardiovascular risk. Generalized paroxysmal fast activity (GPFA) is a major EEG pattern in different epileptic conditions.

Control system design for a continuous positive airway pressure ventilator

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2012
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) ventilation remains a mainstay treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Good pressure stability and pressure reduction during exhalation are of major importance to ensure clinical efficacy and ...

A smart mattress for detecting and correcting the prone position: A feasibility study toward night‐time SUDEP prevention

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of death in otherwise healthy patients with epilepsy; about 70% occurs during sleep, and nearly 90% of patients are found prone (face‐down). Following a nocturnal seizure, terminal apnea occurs between 2.5 and 10.8 min postictally (median ~ 5 min), defining a narrow but

Pharyngeal pressure value using two continuous positive airway pressure devices

, 2008
The aim of the study was to measure the difference between the set continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) value and the pharyngeal pressure reading during CPAP in premature infants with mild respiratory distress syndrome, using two different devices:

Effect of exercise‐related nasopharyngeal disorders on upper airway function in racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exercise‐related upper respiratory tract (URT) disorders are frequently diagnosed in racehorses. Treatment recommendations are routinely based on subjective assessment of clinical evaluation and exercising endoscopy findings. Objectives To objectively investigate how palatal instability (PI), intermittent dorsal displacement of the ...

Short-term compliance to continuous positive airway pressure in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequent clinical problem. Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for OSA. Poor patient adherence to PAP therapy is commonly reported.

Effects of flow‐controlled expiration on oxygenation and early recovery in horses undergoing general anaesthesia

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background FLow‐controlled EXpiration (FLEX) has been shown to significantly enhance oxygenation in horses under clinical and experimental conditions. Objectives To compare pulmonary gas exchange during early recovery following general anaesthesia in horses ventilated with FLEX compared with conventional intermittent positive pressure ...
