Treatment of Snoring with a Nasopharyngeal Airway Tube

Case Reports in Medicine, 2016
Objective. To study the feasibility of a standard nasopharyngeal airway tube (NPAT) as treatment for snoring. Methods. An obese 35-year-old man, who is a chronic, heroic snorer, used NPATs while (1) the patient’s bedpartner scored the snoring and (2) the

Canine brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome as a model for studying the effects of obstructive sleep apnea during pregnancy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We observed a negative effect of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) in a staggered manner based on the severity of the condition on respiratory and cardiac patterns, glycemia, acid–base balance, fetal growth, and uterine artery hemodynamics, thus requiring adaptations within the fetal–placental unit. Severely affected bitches had uterine

Sleep‐trackers in the wild: A faceted taxonomy for information and interaction design

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Consumer‐grade sleep‐tracking technologies (CSTs) have brought sleep into everyday data practices, reframing it from a clinical concern into a site of personal optimization and reflection. Yet existing taxonomies of sleep‐tracking often medicalize users and overlook the complexity of sleep‐tracking technologies. This paper presents SleepTax, a

Are comorbid sleep disorders associated with higher risk for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy? Observations from a Canadian epilepsy clinic

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pooled mortality is nearly three times higher in people with epilepsy (PWE). Approximately 80% of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) events occur during sleep, and primary sleep disorders are prevalent in the general population and PWE.

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 ...

Sleep Health in Bulimia Nervosa: A Systematic Review

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Research on sleep in bulimia nervosa (BN) is methodologically varied and yields inconsistent findings. This review synthesised BN‐sleep studies and examined whether comorbid mood disorders contribute to sleep disturbance. Method PsycINFO, Medline (Ovid), and Scopus were searched for English or French quantitative studies comparing ...

Exposure of Healthy Individuals to Pleasant Odours During Sleep: Effects on Odour Identification and Sleep Quality

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Sleeping with pleasant odours was associated with improved cued odour identification, particularly in the sandalwood group. Subjective night‐time awakenings showed a descriptive decrease. EEG data did not reveal robust changes in sleep architecture, though exploratory analyses suggested potential benefits for individuals with poorer baseline sleep ...

Monitoring and assessment for obstructive sleep apnea

FlexMat, EarlyView.
This review systematically classifies Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) monitoring indicators into three categories: physical, biochemical, and electrophysiological indicators, and lists several methods for each category. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep‐disordered breathing disease characterized by recurrent upper airway ...
