Associations of Plasma Total Tau Level and MMSE Score With Polysomnographic Data in Middle‐Aged Men With Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Pilot Study

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders. Intermittent nocturnal hypoxia and sleep fragmentation in OSA may be among the main mechanisms triggering cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration.

Heart rate variability in non-apneic snorers and controls before and after continuous positive airway pressure

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2005
Background We hypothesized that sympathetic nervous system activity (SNSA) is increased and parasympathetic nervous system activity (PNSA) is decreased during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in non-apneic, otherwise healthy, snoring individuals ...

Longitudinal associations between sleepiness and sleep disturbances across pregnancy

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Although sleep disturbances increase during pregnancy, sleepiness does not appear to follow a similar trajectory. Given that the relationship between sleep disturbances and sleepiness during pregnancy is understudied, we examined their associations to determine whether these relationships strengthen with advancing gestation.
