Sleep Apnea Detection Based on Thoracic and Abdominal Movement Signals of Wearable Piezo-Electric Bands [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Physiologically, the thoracic (THO) and abdominal (ABD) movement signals, captured using wearable piezo-electric bands, provide information about various types of apnea, including central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the use of piezo-electric wearables in detecting sleep apnea events has been seldom explored in the ...

Nationwide resource utilization of dizziness/vertigo presentations to the ED

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aims to assess overall rates of neuroimaging (computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) and cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with primary diagnoses of dizziness/vertigo to determine if neuroimaging is overused in this population.

Automate Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis Using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Identifying sleep problem severity from overnight polysomnography (PSG) recordings plays an important role in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders such as the Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This analysis traditionally is done by specialists manually through visual inspections, which can be tedious, time-consuming, and is prone to subjective errors ...

Incident heart failure: comparing management and outcome in primary and hospital settings in Western Sweden 2008–2017

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 832-838, April 2025.
Abstract Aim Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition managed in both primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC)‐based settings. HF patients managed in these two settings may differ in their demography, comorbidities and outcomes, so we aimed to compare the patient management in PC and HC in the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) in Sweden.

Multivariate linear regression to predict association of non‐invasive arterial stiffness with cardiovascular events

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1141-1150, April 2025.
Abstract Background Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.

Evaluation of the Association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hearing Loss

Journal of Sleep Sciences, 2016
Background and Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) through hypoxia and reoxygenation periods leads to oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and activation of inflammatory cycles, which eventually may cause disorder in vasa nervorum, and ...

AI vs Humans for the diagnosis of sleep apnea [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing sleep obstructive apnea (OSA). It allows monitoring of breathing events throughout the night. The detection of these events is usually done by trained sleep experts. However, this task is tedious, highly time-consuming and subject to important inter-scorer variability.
