Tailored Mandibular Advancement Therapy Guided Through a Mandibular Positioner: Predictive Value in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are a recognized alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), though patient selection is still challenging. Tailored MAD guided through drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) with a mandibular titratable positioner (SAM) offers a stable and ...

Case of postural complex sleep apnea: effect of gravitational forces

Lung India, 2017
We report a case of an elderly male with predominant obstructive sleep apnea and who developed or complex sleep apnea (CxSA) at the start of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration. This CxSA was more prominent in supine position, and he was

Update on the Pathophysiology, Aetiology and Management of Central Sleep Apnoea

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central sleep apnoea (CSA) of the periodic breathing type occurs during the transition between wakefulness and stage 1 and 2 non‐REM sleep. In adults at sea level, it occurs most commonly due to advanced heart failure (HF) or chronic opioid use and in ~5% of obstructive sleep apnoea patients initiating CPAP.

Usage of Positional Therapy in Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 2015
Many positional therapy (PT) strategies are available for treating positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). PT is primarily supplied to selected patients as a secondary treatment option when other therapies have failed. To our knowledge this is the largest study to date to assess effectiveness and long-term compliance of PT (both commercial waistband ...

Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse: A Retrospective Cohort Study Describing Incidence, Risk Factors and Role of Perinatal Transition

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors and possible aetiology of sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC), a potentially fatal yet poorly understood event. Methods In a retrospective cohort, patient records from 483 284 infants born in Stockholm, Sweden, between 2002 and 2022 were screened for SUPC‐related diagnoses.

Nocturnal Hypoxemia Burden Correlates With Vestibular Dysfunction in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potential contributor to vestibular dysfunction, though specific correlating parameters remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether hypoxemia severity indices correlate quantitatively with caloric slow‐phase eye velocity (SPV), a marker of vestibular function. Methods In a retrospective

COVID‐19–Induced Narcolepsy Type I With Cataplexy: A Short Report

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Narcolepsy type I is a rare neurological sleep disorder characterised by chronic excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, and low orexin (hypocretin) levels. Infection with SARS‐CoV‐2 has been linked to neurological and neuropsychiatric sequelae, but cases of post‐COVID narcolepsy remain extremely uncommon.

Update on Sedation for Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Japan: Current Evidence on Remimazolam

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Sedation is an essential component of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy because it reduces patient discomfort and anxiety while improving patient acceptance and procedural quality. In Japan, benzodiazepines such as midazolam and opioid analgesics have long been widely used in routine clinical practice; however, many of these agents historically
