Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Elderly Patients [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of position-dependent obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) in elderly patients (≥65 years old). Adult (range 19-65 years old) and elderly patients were also compared in order to show differences in the incidence of POSA between these two groups of patients.

Transformer-based deep learning approach for obstructive sleep apnea detection using single-lead ECG [PDF]
Frontiers in Artificial IntelligenceObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) results from repeated collapses of the upper airway during sleep, which can lead to serious health complications. Although polysomnography (PSG) is the diagnostic gold standard, it is costly, labor-intensive, and associated ...

Community prevalence of positional obstructive sleep apnea. [PDF]
J Clin Sleep MedThe prevalence of positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) in community populations warrants further investigation. Further, more research is needed into the clinical characteristics of its subtypes such as supine predominant OSA (spOSA) and supine isolated OSA (siOSA).A cross-sectional analysis was performed on 1,870 Sleep Heart Health Study ...

Postural Effect on Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Sitting Versus Supine [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Research, 2022 Postural effects on breathing are evident in most patients with obstructive sleep apnea. However, the impact varies depending on an individual’s habitual sleeping position. Here, an age 40 obese male with typical sleep apnea symptoms is presented. He had

Sleep disorders in patients with myasthenia gravis based on antibody subtypes: a polysomnographic study [PDF]
BMC NeurologyBackground Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is increasingly recognized in myasthenia gravis (MG), yet potential differences in sleep respiratory patterns between antibody-defined MG subtypes remain poorly understood.

Positional obstructive sleep apnea in patients with atrial fibrillation. [PDF]
Sleep Breath, 2023 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common, potentially modifiable condition implicated in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). The presence and severity of OSA is largely sleep position-dependent, yet there is high variability in positional dependence among patients with OSA. We investigated the prevalence of positional OSA (POSA) and examined

Positional obstructive sleep apnea in an obese pediatric population. [PDF]
J Clin Sleep Med, 2020 Positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) is a phenotype of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) where sleep-related obstructive events occur predominantly in the supine position. Limited knowledge exists regarding the presence of POSA in children with obesity.

The Emerging Role of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy in the Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2021 Obstructive sleep apnea is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway. Continuous positive airway pressure is the first-line therapy for most patients, but adherence is often poor.

Polysomnographic and clinical characteristics of positional obstructive sleep apnea patients
The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2021 Background Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition characterized by the complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. This study aimed to compare the clinical and polysomnographic characteristics of our obstructive sleep apnea patients
