Sleep Apnea and Skin

Current Sleep Medicine Reports, 2020
Skin disease is associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) both epidemiologically and mechanistically. In this review we highlight conditions which have a well-established link to obstructive sleep apnea, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.We describe putative mechanistic links between OSA and skin disease involving inflammatory pathways ...

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

Clinics, 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.

Impact of sleep apnea on alzheimer’s disease in relation to sex: an 8-year longitudinal follow-up study of a nationwide cohort

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy
Background We aimed to investigate the association between sleep apnea and incident dementia (dementia of the Alzheimer type [DAT] and vascular dementia) and whether differences in the effects of sleep apnea on dementia depend on sex.

Quantification of Sleep Fragmentation Through the Analysis of Sleep-Stage Transitions [PDF]

arXiv, 2003
We introduce new quantitative approaches to study sleep-stage transitions with the goal of addressing the two following questions: (i) Can the new approaches provide more information on the structure of sleep-stage transitions? (ii) How does sleep fragmentation in patients with sleep apnea affect the structure of sleep-stage transitions?

Clinical Insights Into Nabais Sá‐De Vries Syndrome due to a Novel SPOP Mutation: Neuromotor, Cognitive, Adaptive, Behavioral, and Neurovisual Features

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nabais Sá‐De Vries syndrome (NSDVS) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by SPOP mutations. To date, only 10 cases have been described presenting with intellectual disability, neurological signs and symptoms, and a variable association of dysmorphic features.

Lower respiratory tract infections among newly diagnosed sleep apnea patients

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background Sleep apnea is associated with chronic comorbidities and acute complications. Existing data suggest that sleep apnea may predispose to an increased risk and severity of respiratory tract infections.

Postnatal Progressive Craniosynostosis: An Unusual Case Presentation Leading to Cascade Diagnosis for Multiple Generations

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NM_000141.5: FGFR2 c.1032G>A is a pathogenic variant that causes Crouzon syndrome through activation of a new donor splice site. This clinical report highlights the intrafamilial variability that can exist with this specific variant. The proband is a 4‐year‐old boy who initially presented with concern for seizures.

Biomarkers of Sleep Apnea [PDF]

Chest, 2012
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition of repetitive upper airway collapse, which occurs during sleep. Recent literature has emphasized the role of OSA in contributing to glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. OSA is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, although definitive data are sparse with regard to the ...
