The relationship of desaturation, oxidative stress, comorbid diseases, and conditions in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Neurological Sciences and Neurophysiology, 2023
Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is associated with clinical pictures ranging from morning headache to vascular diseases and sudden death.

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

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 8, Page 3630-3638, August 2026.
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 ...

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

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 8, Page 3639-3647, August 2026.
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).

Alteration in cervical spine mechanics in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patients

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2015
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a multi-factorial disease with many identified risk factors and mechanisms. Little research exists on cervical spine mechanics as a risk factor for OSAS.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Complications, Diagnosis, Management, and Emerging Fibrosis‐Linked Remodeling

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

Epiglottis Collapse in Individuals With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 486-493, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated upper airway collapse during sleep. The epiglottis, often overlooked in conventional assessments, has emerged as a site of significant obstruction in OSA.

Power spectral analysis of the sleep electroencephalogram in positional obstructive sleep apnea

Sleep Medicine, 2023
Previous studies have shown that obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with reduced delta EEG and increased beta EEG power and increased EEG slowing ratio. There are however no studies that explore differences in sleep EEG between positional obstructive sleep apnoea (pOSA) and non-positional obstructive sleep apnoea (non-pOSA) patients.556 of ...

Effectiveness of Mandibular Advancement Devices in Positional OSA Patients: A Retrospective Analysis of Predictive Variables in a Sample of Adult Patients

Sleep Science
Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of mandibular advancement devices (MADs) in improving apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA), compared with a control group of nonpositional OSA (NPOSA) patients, from mild ...

Investigation of the “Not Better Explained” Diagnosis Criteria in Sleep Disorder Classifications: A Systematic Content Analysis and Critical Review

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2026.
The “Not Better Explained” (NBE) criterion plays a key role in preventing diagnostic misclassification by structuring causal reasoning in sleep medicine. This systematic content analysis compares the use, wording, and excluded conditions of NBE criteria across the ICSD‐3‐TR and DSM‐5‐TR for ten major sleep disorders.

Evaluation of sleep position shifts in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with the use of a mandibular advancement device

Frontiers in Dental Medicine
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate position shifts during sleep of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome both with and without the use of a mandibular advancement device (MAD).MethodsIn total, 73 adult Caucasian patients ...
