The Pharyngeal Resistance Index—A Promising Diagnostic Tool in OSA

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the newly developed pharyngeal resistance index derived from computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim was to evaluate this index as a diagnostic and severity assessment tool by comparing it with the apnea‐hypopnea index before and after maxillomandibular

A gradual and sustainable approach to diagnosing sleep and circadian disturbances in dementia

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Evidence linking sleep and circadian disruptions to the course of dementias, particularly Alzheimer's disease, has expanded. Such alterations are detectable from preclinical stages and parallel the disease progression. Assessing and managing sleep and circadian disturbances in patients with dementia remains challenging.
