Obstructive Sleep apnea Therapy
Journal of Dental Research, 2008In clinical practice, oral appliances are used primarily for obstructive sleep apnea patients who do not respond to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. We hypothesized that an oral appliance is not inferior to CPAP in treating obstructive sleep apnea effectively.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Atherosclerosis
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2009Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and excess in mortality. Atherosclerosis has been shown to occur in OSA patients free of any other significant risk factors. In particular, intima media thickness, an early marker of atherosclerosis, may be increased at the carotid level in OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnea for the rhinologist
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery, 2023Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a ubiquitous disease defined by repetitive partial or complete cessation of airflow during sleep caused by upper airway collapse. Otolaryngologists play a crucial role in the management of OSA, which is rapidly evolving with the advent of new surgical techniques and medical devices. Here

Sites of Obstruction in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Chest, 2002The aim of this article was to identify the most common sites of obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by a systematic review of published studies.The review was conducted by a MEDLINE search of the English literature published during the years 1980 to 2002.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a very common and underdiagnosed condition across the world. It affects both pediatric and adult populations in unique but important ways. Long-term health risks associated with OSA include cardiovascular conditions, metabolic disorders, depression as well as poor work performance, and increased risk of motor vehicle ...

Pediatrics, 1983
Kahn and colleagues1 point out that their findings of a decrease in transcutaneous PO2 after episodes of obstructive apnea could be due to a "... redistribution of blood flow away from the skin... ." Their suggestion, however, that the latter is due to a decrease in cardiac output is unlikely.

Sclerostin in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
2015Sclerostin, a glycoprotein involved in vascular calcification, could play a role in cardiovascular disorders. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently associated with cardiovascular comorbidities. Thus, in this study we set out to assess the level of sclerostin in patients with OSA.

Pathophysiology of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2005This article explores the physiologic basis and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea--a general term encompassing central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea. The former is relatively uncommon while the latter is much more common. Episodic collapse and blockage of the upper airway occur during sleep despite continuous respiratory effort. Three types

This chapter outlines the surgical management of children who experience symptoms of airway obstruction after undergoing pharyngeal flap surgery or sphincter pharyngoplasty for the correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency. It also describes the management of children with hyponasality following these corrective surgical interventions.
