Cross motor innervation of the hypoglossal nerve—a pilot study of predictors for successful opening of the soft palateSleep and Breathing - Tập 25 - Trang 425-431 - 2020

Selective hypoglossal nerve stimulation has proven to be a successful treatment option in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate if there is a cross-innervation of the hypoglossal nerve in humans and if patients with this phenotype show a different response to hypoglossal nerve stimulation compared to those with ipsilateral-only innervation Nineteen p...... hiện toàn bộ

Fluid overload shifting from the legs to the upper airway during sleep promotes obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and interventions targeting fluid attenuate OSA. Fluid shift has been previously measured by bioelectrical impedance, a complex and time-consuming technique not applicable in the daily clinical settings. The aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of clinically detectable fluid overl...... hiện toàn bộ

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of OSAS on endothelial dysfunction and thrombosis biomarkers and to evaluate the effect of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on biomarker levels. NT-proBNP, sICAM-1, endothelin-1, von Willebrand factor, D-dimers, and thrombin-an...... hiện toàn bộ
Use of the sleep clinical record in the follow-up of children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after treatmentSleep and Breathing - Tập 20 - Trang 321-329 - 2015

The aim of our study was to evaluate the utility of the sleep clinical record (SCR) in the follow-up of children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after treatment. SCR was completed and overnight polysomnography (PSG) was performed in all enrolled children (T0), with SCR considered positive for scores ≥6.5, as previously validated. Patients underwent adenotonsillectomy (T&A), rapid maxillary expa...... hiện toàn bộ
Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is independently associated with obstructive sleep apnea: evidence from a large-scale cross-sectional studySleep and Breathing - Tập 20 - Trang 627-634 - 2015

Lipid metabolism disorder is recognized to be associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); however, inconsistent results have been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between lipid profile and OSA with adjustments for multiple confounding factors. In total, 2983 subjects were recruited from the Shanghai Sleep Health Study (SSHS) during 2007–2013. Data for overnight po...... hiện toàn bộ
