Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome

Maxillary morphology in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.

The aim of this case-control study was to test the hypothesis that maxillary morphology differs between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients and non-snoring, non-apnoeic subjects. Forty randomly selected patients [36 M, 4 F; mean age 49 +/- 2 (SEM) years] with varying degrees of OSA (mean Apnoea/Hypopnoea Index 32 +/- 4/hour) were compared with 21 non-snoring, non-apnoeic control subjects (1...

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome in children.

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome in children is a complex disorder characterised by repeated nocturnal episodes of increased upper airway resistive load. It is most commonly associated with adenotonsillar hypertrophy and more children are now presenting for adenotonsillectomy. These children may pose different anaesthetic problems to those having surgery for recurrent infection alone and anaes...

Oxidative stress and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.

RATIONALE Even though oxidative stress has been proposed as an underlying mechanism for the symptoms in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), little information is available on the effects of anti-oxidant treatment on their improvement. OBJECTIVES To observe the effects of anti-oxidant treatment on polysomnographic parameters and oxidative stress markers in OSAS patients. ...
