Exogenous Melatonin and Sleep Quality: A Scoping Review of Systematic Reviews
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Melatonin is increasingly used to treat sleep disturbances, yet its overall efficacy remains unclear due to variability in existing evidence. This scoping review aimed to synthesize systematic reviews with meta‐analyses assessing the effects of exogenously administered melatonin on sleep quality in humans.

Before–after field study of effects of wind turbine noise on polysomnographic sleep parameters
Noise and Health, 2016 Wind is considered one of the most advantageous alternatives to fossil energy because of its low operating cost and extensive availability. However, alleged health-related effects of exposure to wind turbine (WT) noise have attracted much public ...

Impact of Mask Type on Pharyngeal Opening Pressures During Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Assessment of the impact of mask type on pharyngeal opening pressures during drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is currently lacking. Our study demonstrates that pharyngeal opening pressures at the velum, oropharynx, and tongue base are significantly reduced using nasal vs. full‐face mask techniques.

Cerebral vasoreactivity in response to a headof-bed position change is altered in patients with moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]
, 2018 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can impair cerebral vasoreactivity and is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease. Unfortunately, an easy-to-use, non-invasive, portable monitor of cerebral vasoreactivity does not exist. Therefore, we

Predictors of Adenotonsillectomy for Publicly Insured Children With Sleep‐Disordered Breathing
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To examine sociodemographic factors (e.g., race, ethnicity, rural status) in adenotonsillectomy rates for pediatric obstructive sleep‐disordered breathing with public insurance. Methods This study included patients < 18 years with a diagnosis of obstructive sleep‐disordered breathing with 12‐month follow‐up from 2011 to 2020 using ...

Adenotonsillar Microbiome Shifts in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study compares the microbiomes of adenoids and tonsils in pediatric OSAS patients and healthy controls using 16S rRNA sequencing. Significant differences were found in the tonsillar microbiome of OSAS patients, with lower alpha diversity and an overrepresentation of pathogenic genera like Haemophilus and Neisseria, while adenoid microbiomes showed

Is Ankyloglossia Correlated With Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing? A Systematic Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.An increasing breadth of conditions and symptoms are being ascribed to ankyloglossia. As diagnosis of ankyloglossia and frequency of frenotomy exponential increase, it is important to have an understanding of the associated evidence. This systematic review summarizes the evidence for ankyloglossia's association with sleep disordered breathing in ...

Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Empirical Mode Decomposition of Pulse Oximetry
, 2014 Detection of desaturations on the pulse oximetry signal is of great importance for the diagnosis of sleep apneas. Using the counting of desaturations, an index can be built to help in the diagnosis of severe cases of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea ...
