Lipofuscin: The Missing Link in the Worsening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Lipofuscin, also known as the age pigment, is a permanent autofluorescent intracellular deposit that accumulates with aging or oxidative stress, thereby interfering with cellular function. This study revealed significantly larger deposits of lipofuscin in the lateral pharyngeal wall muscles of patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared

Orthognathic surgery in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Revista Cubana de Estomatología, 2020
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome causes daytime sleepiness, affects the cardiovascular system and reduces the quality of life. Since orthognathic surgery brings about changes in the pharyngeal airway space, it has been used to treat this ...

Stridor Is an Independent Risk Factor for Mortality and Disease Progression in Patients with Multiple System Atrophy

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aim Stridor and sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) are common in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Retrospective cohort studies have yielded conflicting results regarding the consequences of stridor and SAS on the disease course. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of stridor and SAS, as well as the potential survival ...

Modelling the human pharyngeal airway: validation of numerical simulations using in vitro experiments

, 2008
In the presented study, a numerical model which predicts the flow-induced collapse within the pharyngeal airway is validated using in vitro measurements. Theoretical simplifications were considered to limit the computation time.

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CPT1C: No Support for a Causal Role in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by lower‐limb spasticity. Pathogenic variants in CPT1C have been implicated in HSP. Objective The objective of this study was to assess whether CPT1C loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants are causally associated with HSP.

Evaluation of human obstructive sleep apnea using computational fluid dynamics. [PDF]

, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models constructed from CT scans coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...

Weekly Subcutaneous VK2735, a GIP/GLP‐1 Receptor Dual Agonist, for Weight Management: Phase 2, Randomized, 13‐Week VENTURE Study

Obesity, EarlyView.
Four doses of VK2735 and a placebo group were included in the VENTURE study. Adults who were overweight or had obesity had significant weight loss when taking any dose of VK2735 for 13 weeks. More people lost at least 10% of their body weight as the dose increased.

Efficacy and Safety of Tirzepatide in Japanese Participants With Obesity: A Subpopulation Analysis of the SURMOUNT‐1 Trial

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This prespecified subpopulation analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of once‐weekly tirzepatide versus placebo alongside lifestyle intervention in Japanese adults with obesity or overweight. Methods Data from 102 Japanese adults in the SURMOUNT‐1 trial with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 or ≥ 27 kg/m2 and ≥ 1 weight‐related comorbidity ...
