Thyroid profile in patients with chronic respiratory failure: effect of domiciliary noninvasive positive airway pressure

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2018
Background Various thyroid hormone states have been described in patients with respiratory failure. Domiciliary noninvasive positive airway pressure (NPAP) can be used for management of chronic respiratory failure.

Continuous positive airway pressure in bronchiolitis. [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1981
Over five years 23 infants with evidence of respiratory insufficiency due to bronchiolitis were managed with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This was applied through either a short nasal cannula (14 patients) or an endotracheal tube (nine patients).

Effects of 8 weeks of CPAP on lipid-based oxidative markers in obstructive sleep apnea: a randomized trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dyslipidaemia and increased oxidative stress have been reported in severe obstructive sleep apnea, and both may be related to the development of cardiovascular disease. We have previously shown in a randomized crossover study in patients with moderate to

Adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy: the challenge to effective treatment.

open access: yesProceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2008
Despite the high efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to reverse upper airway obstruction in sleep apnea, treatment effectiveness is limited by variable adherence to prescribed therapy.

Long‐term musical training induces white matter plasticity in emotion and language networks

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 5-17, January 2023., 2023
Musical training (both voice and piano) could enhance connectivity among emotion‐related regions of the brain, such as the amygdala. Voice training reshaped the architecture of experience‐dependent networks, such as those involved in vocal motor control, sensory feedback, and language processing. Long‐term musical training can strengthen or prune white

Effects of continuous positive airway pressure on blood pressure in obstructive sleep apnea patients: The Apnea Positive Pressure Long‐term Efficacy Study (APPLES)

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with hypertension, and short‐term studies have demonstrated a modest reduction in blood pressure with continuous positive airway pressure therapy.

Cardiorespiratory interaction with continuous positive airway pressure [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic Disease, 2018
The treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP). Since its introduction in clinical practice, CPAP has been used in various clinical conditions with variable and heterogeneous outcomes.

Comparative Analysis of Predictive Methods for Early Assessment of Compliance with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making. 81 (2018), 2019
Patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea are mainly treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Good compliance with this therapy is broadly accepted as more than 4h of CPAP average use nightly. Although it is a highly effective treatment, compliance with this therapy is problematic to achieve with serious consequences for the ...
