Obstructive sleep apnea syndromes
Medical Clinics of North America, 2004Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndromes afflict various age groups. OSA is reported to be more prevalent in middle-aged men compared with women in the United States, but the true prevalence may be higher, because OSA syndromes are underdiagnosed. This article reviews the history of sleep apnea, discusses the clinical presentation of OSA-hypopnea and ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1990Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the most common cause of hypersomnolence in patients referred to sleep disorders centers. This type of sleep apnea is characterized by loud snoring, nocturnal oxyhemoglobin desaturation, and disrupted sleep that leads to daytime hypersomnolence.

Obstructive sleep apnea in Costello syndrome
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2006AbstractCostello syndrome (CS) was initially described by Costello in 1971; it is caused by a germline mutation in HRAS proto‐oncogene. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the respiratory activity during sleep in a group of subjects with CS. We studied 10 consecutive patients, 4 males and 6 females, aged 3–29 years, affected by CS.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndromes
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2005Complete or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep has different effects on the human body ranging from noisy breathing (snoring) to significant cardiovascular sequelae as seen in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring is very common in the adult population and has been associated with morbidity in epidemiological studies.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2005OSAHS should be an expected condition in many patients encountered by primary care providers. The diagnosis may arise because of patient daytime dysfunction, partner prompting, or in the course of managing comorbidities adversely influenced by the hemodynamic, neural, humoral,and inflammatory consequences of repetitive desaturations and arousals.OSAHS ...

PEDIATRIC OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2000Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea occurs in about 2% of children, and manifests as snoring, difficulty breathing, and witnessed apneic spells. Daytime symptoms include excessive sleepiness with poor performance and behavior problems. Severe forms may be associated with failure-to-thrive or death.

Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2010Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common and serious cause of metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurocognitive morbidity in children. Children with OSAS have increased upper airway resistance during sleep due to a combination of soft tissue hypertrophy, craniofacial dysmorphology, neuromuscular weakness, or obesity.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Children
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2003Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children is often caused by obstruction of the upper airway due to hypertrophy of the adenoids and palatine tonsils. Between October 1988 and December 1991, 50 children (34 males, 16 females) visited our department due to attacks of sleep apnea and underwent adenotomy or adeno-tonsillectomy.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2003Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by repetitive episodes of airflow reduction (hypopnea) or cessation (apnea) due to upper airway collapse during sleep. Increasing recognition and a greater understanding of the scope of this condition have substantially affected the practices of many clinicians.
