Impact of nonstationarities on short heart rate variability recordings during obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

, 2017
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterized by breathing pauses due to collapse of the upper airways. During OSA the autonomic modulation, as noninvasively assessed through heart period (HP) variability, is altered in a time-varying ...

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 ...

The Association of Upper Airway Anatomy and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Response in OSA

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
CT‐derived measurements of tongue and craniofacial anatomy were evaluated in adults undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea. Relative tongue volume was not significantly associated with treatment response. Exploratory analyses suggest that other anatomic features such as hyoid positions or transverse maxillary dimensions ...

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

Adhd-like symptoms in children affected by obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: A case-control study [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction: ADHD is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, or a combination of these symptoms. Sleep disorders may be considered as a not secondary underlying cause of ADHD and growing evidence evidenced that obstructive sleep apnea ...

Evaluating Sleep Apnea: In‐Lab Versus at‐Home Recording Time and the Impact of Positional Disease

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We evaluated the minimum recording time needed for in‐lab polysomnography (PSG1) and home sleep apnea test Type 3 portable monitoring (HSAT) to accurately reflect the full‐night apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) in patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Reliability of home CPAP titration with different automatic CPAP devices [PDF]

, 2008
Background CPAP titration may be completed by automatic apparatus. However, differences in pressure behaviour could interfere with the reliability of pressure recommendations.

Hypopharyngeal Surgery in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Differential Pattern‑Based Surgical Decision

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to discuss the outcomes after surgical interventions for OSA in patients with hypopharyngeal collapse; the selection of the individual procedure was primarily based on the preoperative endoscopic examination (positional awake endoscopy and DISE) data.

EMotional Intelligence And Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome In Children: Preliminary Case-Control Study [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects up to 4% of pediatric population, with many co-morbidities in the medium-long term. Functional alterations in prefrontal cortex (PFC) may explain why OSAS impacts aspects such as: executive ...
