Laryngeal obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
The Laryngoscope, 1990AbstractObstructive sleep apnea syndrome has been studied intensively since it was introduced in the 1970's; these studies have shown that the site of upper airway obstruction appears to vary among patients. Snoring is typically defined as the sound created by rhythmic oscillations of the soft palate in the inspiratory air stream during sleep.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Acromegaly
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1994Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a complex disorder that has been associated with a variety of abnormalities of the upper airway, including tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy, nasal obstruction, retrognathia, and macroglossia. The cause of the airway obstruction in acromegaly is believed to be related to osseous and soft‐tissue changes surrounding the ...

Epidemiology of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1995Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the most common organic sleep disorder resulting in excessive daytime somnolence. It is almost as common as asthma. According to recent epidemiologic studies, the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is probably about 2% in women and somewhere around 4% in adult men in general.

Women and the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Chest, 1988Twenty-seven women referred to a sleep disorders clinic for symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) during one year were systematically analyzed after polygraphic monitoring of sleep and cephalometric x-ray examination. Our subjects, one-third of whom were premenopausal, comprised approximately 12 percent of the total OSAS population seen ...

Obstructive sleep apnea and the metabolic syndrome
Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2009Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the metabolic syndrome have a strong association with each other owing to their common feature of obesity, but an association independent of obesity has been demonstrated in several studies. There is also evidence, of varying strengths, from epidemiologic and clinical studies, for the independent association between ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
2006Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete upper airway collapse during sleep that is highlighted by a reduction in, or complete cessation of, airflow despite documented on going inspiratory efforts.

Obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2003We investigated the influence of obesity on upper airway obstruction, especially the relationship between obesity and the type of obstruction. The site of obstruction was identified by means of endoscopic examination and dynamic MRI during sleep. Many obese patients have the circumferential type of obstruction.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in childhood
Early Human Development, 2013Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was first reported in 1976 by Guilleminault. This condition has been defined as a disorder of breathing during sleep characterized by prolonged partial/complete upper airway obstruction that disrupts normal ventilation and normal sleep patterns.

Obstructive sleep apnea/ hypopnea syndrome
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSA/H) is a common disorder for which there are a variety of therapeutic options. All patients should make appropriate alterations in lifestyle and habits to reduce the risk of upper airway instability during sleep. The aggressiveness of additional treatment should be dictated by the severity of OSA/H, as measured by ...
