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.

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.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1990Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the most common cause of hypersomnolence in patients referred to sleep disorders centers. This type of sleep apnea is characterized by loud snoring, nocturnal oxyhemoglobin desaturation, and disrupted sleep that leads to daytime hypersomnolence.

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.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypertension
Current Hypertension Reports, 2010Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension commonly coexist. Observational studies indicate that untreated OSA is associated with an increased risk of prevalent hypertension, whereas prospective studies of normotensive cohorts suggest that OSA may increase the risk of incident hypertension.

Pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1999Obstructive sleep apnea is a fairly common disorder with significant adverse health consequences. However, the pathogenetic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Upper airway (UA) patency is determined by several neuromuscular and nonneuromuscular factors including (1) UA dilating muscle activity, (2) the collapsing transmural pressure generated ...
