Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a very common and underdiagnosed condition across the world. It affects both pediatric and adult populations in unique but important ways. Long-term health risks associated with OSA include cardiovascular conditions, metabolic disorders, depression as well as poor work performance, and increased risk of motor vehicle ...

Managing Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1993Obstructive sleep apnea, cessation of breathing during sleep, is potentially life threatening and requires prompt intervention. A prosthesis can reposition the mandible during sleep and minimize or prevent the tongue from collapsing against the pharynx. Two case reports discuss the effectiveness of prosthetic devices.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2012Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a common but often unrecognized disorder caused by pharyngeal collapse during sleep and characterized by frequent awakenings, disrupted sleep and consequent excessive daytime sleepiness. With the increasing epidemic of obesity, the most important risk factor for OSA, prevalence of the disease will increase over

Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2016Screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with in-laboratory polysomnography is recommended for children with sleep disordered breathing. Adenotonsillectomy is the first-line therapy for pediatric OSA, although intranasal steroids and montelukast can be considered for those with mild OSA and continuous positive airway pressure for those with moderate

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1990Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the most common cause of hypersomnolence in patients referred to sleep disorders centers. This type of sleep apnea is characterized by loud snoring, nocturnal oxyhemoglobin desaturation, and disrupted sleep that leads to daytime hypersomnolence.

This chapter outlines the surgical management of children who experience symptoms of airway obstruction after undergoing pharyngeal flap surgery or sphincter pharyngoplasty for the correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency. It also describes the management of children with hyponasality following these corrective surgical interventions.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Atherosclerosis
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2009Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and excess in mortality. Atherosclerosis has been shown to occur in OSA patients free of any other significant risk factors. In particular, intima media thickness, an early marker of atherosclerosis, may be increased at the carotid level in OSA.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndromes
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2005Complete or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep has different effects on the human body ranging from noisy breathing (snoring) to significant cardiovascular sequelae as seen in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring is very common in the adult population and has been associated with morbidity in epidemiological studies.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
The Nurse Practitioner, 1987Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is estimated to affect 2 million to 3 million Americans. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a breathing pattern characterized by periods of apnea alternating with periods of arousal and breathing, a pattern that recurs throughout the sleep cycle.

Sclerostin in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
2015Sclerostin, a glycoprotein involved in vascular calcification, could play a role in cardiovascular disorders. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently associated with cardiovascular comorbidities. Thus, in this study we set out to assess the level of sclerostin in patients with OSA.
