Assessment of Nocturnal Autonomic Cardiac Imbalance in Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea. A Multiscale Nonlinear Approach [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 Positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) is a major phenotype of sleep apnea. Supine-predominant positional patients are frequently characterized by milder symptoms and less comorbidity due to a lower age, body mass index, and overall apnea-hypopnea ...

A stepwise titration protocol for oral appliance therapy in positional obstructive sleep apnea patients: proof of concept. [PDF]
Sleep Breath, 2020 Purpose In patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA), oral appliance therapy (OAT) is among the first-line treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a new standardized stepwise titration protocol for OAT in a group of

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

Positional Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Therapeutic Modalities and Clinical Effects [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Research, 2023 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent occurrences of partial or complete collapse of the upper airway during sleep, leading to shallow breathing or breathing pauses.
