Obstructive sleep apnea syndromes

Medical Clinics of North America, 2004
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndromes afflict various age groups. OSA is reported to be more prevalent in middle-aged men compared with women in the United States, but the true prevalence may be higher, because OSA syndromes are underdiagnosed. This article reviews the history of sleep apnea, discusses the clinical presentation of OSA-hypopnea and ...

Obstructive sleep apnea in Costello syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2006
AbstractCostello syndrome (CS) was initially described by Costello in 1971; it is caused by a germline mutation in HRAS proto‐oncogene. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the respiratory activity during sleep in a group of subjects with CS. We studied 10 consecutive patients, 4 males and 6 females, aged 3–29 years, affected by CS.

Obstructive sleep apnea and the metabolic syndrome

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2009
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the metabolic syndrome have a strong association with each other owing to their common feature of obesity, but an association independent of obesity has been demonstrated in several studies. There is also evidence, of varying strengths, from epidemiologic and clinical studies, for the independent association between ...

Microalbuminuria in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Sleep and Breathing, 2015
Microalbuminuria is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Microalbuminuria may be seen due to intermittent hypoxemia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In this study, we investigated the prevalence and relationship of microalbuminuria with clinical and physiological parameters in patients with OSAS.Ninety-eight ...
