Evaluation of peripheral auditory pathways and brainstem in obstructive sleep apnea

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology
Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea causes changes in normal sleep architecture, fragmenting it chronically with intermittent hypoxia, leading to serious health consequences in the long term.

Passive myofunctional therapy applied on children with obstructive sleep apnea: A 6-month follow-up

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2017
Myofunctional therapy is one of the recommended treatments for obstructive sleep apnea, but the level of compliance has often been low in children. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effect of passive myofunctional therapy using an oral ...

Night‐to‐night variability of obstructive sleep apnea

Journal of Sleep Research, 2017
One night of a sleep study is the standard for diagnosis and exclusion of obstructive sleep apnea. Single testing requires high sensitivity of the test method and a stable disease of interest to warrant a low rate of false‐negative tests.

Prognostic value of advanced lung cancer inflammation index in heart failure patients: A comprehensive analysis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The prognosis of heart failure (HF) is closely linked to inflammation and nutritional status. The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) is a composite indicator consisting of several parameters used to assess inflammation and nutritional status. Our study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of ALI in HF patients. Methods The

Inter‐atrial block as a predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with HFpEF

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Inter‐atrial block (IAB), a marker of electrical atrial dysfunction, is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and adverse events in various populations. The prognostic impact of IAB in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unknown.

Retropharyngeal hematoma in the context of obstructive sleep apnea: a case report and review of the literature

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background Obstructive sleep apnea is related to increased systemic inflammation and arterial hypertension. We present a case of retropharyngeal hematoma without trauma und hypothesize that this could be caused by untreated obstructive sleep apnea.

Real‐world comparative effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan versus RAS inhibition alone in patients with de novo heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Large‐scale, real‐world data on early initiation of sacubitril/valsartan in patients newly diagnosed (de novo) with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are limited. We examined the effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan versus angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) on all‐cause and cause ...

Respiratory sleep disorders, nasal obstruction and enuresis in children with non-syndromic Pierre Robin sequence

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea is highly prevalent in non-syndromic Pierre Robin sequence patients. Studies have found a probable relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and nasal obstruction and between obstructive sleep apnea and enuresis ...

Thermal Imaging and Radar for Remote Sleep Monitoring of Breathing and Apnea [PDF]

arXiv
Polysomnography (PSG), the current gold standard method for monitoring and detecting sleep disorders, is cumbersome and costly. At-home testing solutions, known as home sleep apnea testing (HSAT), exist. However, they are contact-based, a feature which limits the ability of some patient populations to tolerate testing and discourages widespread ...

Reproduction of hypopnea phenomenon using a physical and numerical model [PDF]

Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Computer Methods in Biomechanics & Biomedical Engineering FIRST Numerics Ltd, ISBN 0-9549670-0-3 (Ed.) (2004) 1-6, 2006
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is now considered as a major health care topic. An in-vitro setup which reproduces and simplifies upper airway geometry has been the basis to study the fluid/walls interaction that leads to an apnea. It consists of a rigid pipe (the pharynx) in contact with a deformable latex cylinder filled with water (the tongue). Air
