Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena

Long-term prediction of adherence to continuous positive air pressure therapy for the treatment of moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BACKGROUND: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, poor adherence is a limiting factor, and a significant proportion of patients are unable to tolerate CPAP.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2019
This CPB has been revised to state that the following are considered experimental and investigational: (i) measurement of central corneal thickness, intra-ocular pressure, and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness for grading severities of obstructive ...

Transition from psoriasis to psoriatic arthritis is characterized by distinct alterations in peripheral blood Tc17, Th17 and CD4+ TEM cells

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Cellular mechanisms driving transition from psoriasis to psoriatic arthritis have remained largely elusive. Thus, we investigated changes within the peripheral blood T cell compartment associated with the transition phase. Methods In an observational study, 116 patients were examined and categorized into subgroups including psoriasis with at ...

The effect of nasal surgery on apnea-hypopnea index [PDF]

open access: yesReviews in Clinical Medicine, 2014
One of the factors, which is involved in obstructive sleep apnea, is anatomic or inflammatory pathologies of nasal airway obstruction. Thus, it is logical to observe improvement of polysomnographic parameters of sleep-disordered breathing after nasal ...

Adaptive Servo-Ventilation for Central Sleep Apnea in Systolic Heart Failure.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2015
BACKGROUND Central sleep apnea is associated with poor prognosis and death in patients with heart failure. Adaptive servo-ventilation is a therapy that uses a noninvasive ventilator to treat central sleep apnea by delivering servo-controlled inspiratory ...

Efficacy and safety of a selective partial agonist for nociception/orphanin‐FQ peptide (NOP) receptors in patients with insomnia disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, affecting up to 20% of the world population and adversely impacting productivity, health, and overall well‐being. Although pharmacologic options exist to treat insomnia, the health‐related quality of life for patients who are prescribed hypnotics is no higher than for those who are not, revealing a significant ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the Risk of Cognitive Decline in Older Adults.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and affects at least 20% of individuals after the age of 65. There is accumulating evidence that obstructive sleep apnea may impact brain structure and function.

Multimodal Breathing Control: Pontomedullary Mechanisms and Current Perspectives

open access: yesBioEssays, EarlyView.
Breathing is typically automatic, ensuring homeostasis, but it is also shaped by emotion, behavior, and volition. This review synthesizes our current understanding of the flexible neural mechanisms that enable multimodal control of breathing, emphasizing the role of pontomedullary circuits.

A negative expiratory pressure test during wakefulness for evaluating the risk of obstructive sleep apnea in patients referred for sleep studies

open access: yesClinics, 2011
OBJECTIVE: Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by increased upper airway collapsibility during sleep. The present study investigated the use of the negative expiratory pressure test as a method to rule out obstructive sleep apnea.
