The molecular pathology of genioglossus in obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep respiratory disease characterized by sleep snoring accompanied by apnea and daytime sleeplessness. It is a complex disease, with the multifactorial etiology, and the pathology is incompletely understood. Genioglossus (GG), the largest dilator of upper airway, whose fatigue is strongly correlated to onset of OSA.

Automatic scoring of apnea and hypopnea events using blood oxygen saturation signals [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) syndrome is a very common and frequently undiagnosed sleep disorder. It is characterized by repeated events of partial (hypopnea) or total (apnea) obstruction of the upper airway while sleeping. This study makes use of a previously developed method called DAS-KSVD for multiclass structured dictionary learning

Dynamics of Snoring Sounds and Its Connection with Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]

, 2012
Snoring is extremely common in the general population and when irregular may indicate the presence of obstructive sleep apnea. We analyze the overnight sequence of wave packets --- the snore sound --- recorded during full polysomnography in patients referred to the sleep laboratory due to suspected obstructive sleep apnea. We hypothesize that irregular
