A Structured Learning Approach with Neural Conditional Random Fields for Sleep Staging [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Sleep plays a vital role in human health, both mental and physical. Sleep disorders like sleep apnea are increasing in prevalence, with the rapid increase in factors like obesity. Sleep apnea is most commonly treated with Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) therapy. Presently, however, there is no mechanism to monitor a patient's progress with CPAP.

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

Application of machine learning to predict obstructive sleep apnea syndrome severity
Health Informatics Journal, 2019 Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome has become an important public health concern. Polysomnography is traditionally considered an established and effective diagnostic tool providing information on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea ...

Diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in adults
Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2017 KEY POINTS Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurring episodes of cessation (apnea) or reduction (hypopnea) in airflow during sleep caused by obstruction of the upper airway.

SLEEP APNEA IN ENDOCRINE DISORDERS
Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2016 In the recent years, an association between sleep apnea and a number of endocrine diseases has been established. The secretion of many hormones after falling asleep is considerably changed, compared to the period of wakefulness.

The Association of Ambient Air Pollution with Sleep Apnea: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2018 Rationale: Air pollution may influence sleep through airway inflammation or autonomic nervous system pathway alterations. Epidemiological studies may provide evidence of relationships between chronic air pollution exposure and sleep apnea. Objectives: To

Detecting Slow Wave Sleep Using a Single EEG Signal Channel [PDF]
, 2015 Background: In addition to the cost and complexity of processing multiple signal channels, manual sleep staging is also tedious, time consuming, and error-prone. The aim of this paper is to propose an automatic slow wave sleep (SWS) detection method that
