Peripheral arterial tonometry versus polysomnography in suspected obstructive sleep apnoea

European Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Background Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Home sleep apnoea testing with peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) is a recommended diagnostic alternative for patients with an increased risk for ...

Oxygen desaturation during flexible bronchoscopy with propofol sedation is associated with sleep apnea: the PROSA-Study

Respiratory Research, 2020
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airways during sleep. Conscious sedation for flexible bronchoscopy (FB) places patients in a sleep-like condition.

Altered fecal microbiome and metabolome in adult patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Emerging experimental and epidemiological evidence highlights a crucial cross-talk between the intestinal flora and the lungs, termed the “gut-lung axis”. However, the function of the gut microbiota in bronchiectasis remains undefined. In this
