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
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is associated with metabolic syndrome rather than insulin resistanceSleep and Breathing - Tập 11 - Trang 23-30 - 2006

The aim of this study was to investigate cross-sectionally the prevalence and covariates of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and its relationship to metabolic syndrome (MS), insulin resistance (IR), and coronary heart disease (CHD) in a population sample of 1,946 men and women representative of Turkish adults. OSAS was identified when habitual snoring and episodes of apnea were combined wit...... hiện toàn bộ
Evening sock marks as an adjunct to the clinical prediction of obstructive sleep apneaSleep and Breathing - Tập 24 - Trang 1365-1371 - 2019

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
Endothelial dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea patientsSleep and Breathing - Tập 26 - Trang 231-242 - 2021

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
