Neural bases for the genesis and CO2 therapy of periodic Cheyne–Stokes breathing in neonatal male connexin-36 knockout mice

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Periodic Cheyne–Stokes breathing (CSB) oscillating between apnea and crescendo–decrescendo hyperpnea is the most common central apnea. Currently, there is no proven therapy for CSB, probably because the fundamental pathophysiological question of how the ...

Practical considerations for effective oral appliance use in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea: a clinical review

Sleep Science and Practice, 2017
Oral appliance (OA) therapy is a promising alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). By holding the mandible in a forward position, an OA keeps the airway open and prevents collapse.

Serum bilirubin and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations

Respiratory Research, 2017
Background Bilirubin is a potent anti-oxidant and higher serum concentrations of bilirubin have been associated with better lung function, slower lung function decline, and lower incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
