Early life environment and snoring in adulthood

Respiratory Research, 2008
Background To our knowledge, no studies of the possible association of early life environment with snoring in adulthood have been published. We aimed to investigate whether early life environment is associated with snoring later in life.

Role of sleep apnea‐specific hypoxic burden and sleep breathing impairment index in assessing cognitive impairment in obstructive sleep apnea adults

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of sleep apnea‐specific hypoxic burden (SASHB) and sleep disordered breathing index (SBII) in assessing cognitive dysfunction in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to compare them with the apnea‐hypopnea index (AHI).

Age‐related population level decoupling of obstructive sleep apnea severity from body mass index: Insights from over 40,000 patients across the adult lifespan

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Study Objectives Obesity is a major determinant of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity, but its influence may vary across adulthood. We examined age‐related patterns of body mass index (BMI), apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), and hypoxemic burden, and assessed whether the association between BMI and OSA severity attenuates with age.

Nocturnal awakening secondary to pain in sleep‐related painful erection: A case report and literature review

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract A 41‐year‐old male patient presented with a 13‐year history of recurrent nocturnal penile pain associated with erections during sleep. Over the course of his illness, the patient attended outpatient clinics on 298 occasions and was hospitalized three times. The primary symptom reported was erectile pain occurring during sleep.

Epiglottis Collapse in Individuals With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated upper airway collapse during sleep. The epiglottis, often overlooked in conventional assessments, has emerged as a site of significant obstruction in OSA.

The Impact of BMI on the Differences Between Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy and Müller Maneuver

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To explore the differences in drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and Müller Maneuver (MM) results and study the impact of body mass index (BMI) on these differences. Study Design Prospective observational study. Methods Forty patients with OSAHS were included in this study.

Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Children Predicts OSA Severity

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first line for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), treatment failure is common. Drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) provides dynamic airway assessment, but its role in predicting OSA severity requires clarification. This study correlates DISE findings with polysomnographic severity. Objective To
