Obstructive sleep apnea

2022
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disease that results from loss of upper airway muscle tone leading to upper airway collapse during sleep in anatomically susceptible persons, leading to recurrent periods of hypoventilation, hypoxia, and arousals from sleep.

Obstructive sleep apnea

Disease-a-Month, 1994
The high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has only recently been appreciated, in part because the symptoms and signs of chronic sleep disruption are often overlooked in spite of their debilitating consequences. They typically develop insidiously during a period of years.

Obstructive sleep apnea

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2003
Obstructive sleep apnea is an increasingly well-recognized disease characterized by periodic collapse of the upper airway during sleep. This leads to either complete or partial obstruction of the airway, resulting in apneas, hypopneas, or both. This disorder causes daytime somnolence, neurocognitive defects, and depression.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Comprehensive Physiology, 2012
AbstractObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by repetitive collapse of the pharyngeal airway during sleep. Control of pharyngeal patency is a complex process relating primarily to basic anatomy and the activity of many pharyngeal dilator muscles.

Obstructive sleep apnea

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem in the US that afflicts at least 2% to 4% of middle-aged Americans and incurs an estimated annual cost of 3.4 billion dollars. At Stanford, we utilize a multispecialty team approach combining the expertise of sleep medicine specialists (adult and pediatric), maxillofacial and ear, nose, and

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

New England Journal of Medicine, 1996
Our understanding of the nature and consequences of upper-airway obstruction in adults during sleep has evolved considerably over the past two decades. Sleep apnea — defined as repeated episodes of obstructive apnea and hypopnea during sleep, together with daytime sleepiness or altered cardiopulmonary function — is common.1 Epidemiologic studies ...
