Sex Differences in the Prevalence and Modulators of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Outpatients with Type 2 Diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2018
In patients with type 2 diabetes, sleep-disordered breathing is a widespread cause of deteriorated quality of life. However, robust prevalence estimates for sleep-disordered breathing in patients with type 2 diabetes are limited due to scarce data.

Challenges and perspectives in obstructive sleep apnoea

European Respiratory Journal, 2018
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a major challenge for physicians and healthcare systems throughout the world. The high prevalence and the impact on daily life of OSA oblige clinicians to offer effective and acceptable treatment options. However, recent

GENETIC ASPECTS OF HYPERTENSION AND METABOLIC DISEASE IN THE OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNOEA-HYPOPNOEA SYNDROME.

, 2008
Considerable evidence is available in support of an independent association between obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and cardiovascular disease, which is particularly strong for systemic arterial hypertension and growing for ischaemic heart ...

Structure and severity of pharyngeal obstruction determine oral appliance efficacy in sleep apnoea

Journal of Physiology, 2019
•Some patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) respond well to oral appliance therapy, whereas others do not for reasons that are unclear. •In the present study, we used gold‐standard measurements to demonstrate that patients with a posteriorly ...

What Is the Pterygomandibular Raphe? A Confluence of Fasciae Rather Than a Discrete Structure

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pterygomandibular raphe (PMR) has traditionally been described as a fibrous or tendinous band connecting the bucinator (BM) and superior pharyngeal constrictor (SPCM) muscles. However, recent evidence has questioned its existence. This study aimed to reevaluate the anatomy of the pterygomandibular region by preserving fascial continuity ...

Update on oral appliance therapy

European Respiratory Review, 2019
Oral appliances are increasingly recommended for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and those who do not tolerate nor prefer continuous positive airway pressure. The most commonly used oral appliance advances the lower jaw during sleep,

Identifying obstructive sleep apnoea patients responsive to supplemental oxygen therapy

European Respiratory Journal, 2018
A possible precision-medicine approach to treating obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) involves targeting ventilatory instability (elevated loop gain) using supplemental inspired oxygen in selected patients.

Maximum Allowable Contrast Dose and Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Procedures

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Recent studies have questioned whether iodinated contrast is causally related to acute kidney injury (AKI). AIM We pursed a contemporary analysis to determine the impact of contrast dose on AKI following coronary procedures in an era of lower contrast doses and less nephrotoxic agents.
