Clock gene dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.
Clock genes regulate mammalian circadian rhythms, and dysfunction of clock genes can contribute to various disorders. To investigate whether obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) influences clock gene function, the present authors examined Period1 (Per1) mRNA expression in vitro and in vivo. In eight healthy subjects and eight OSAS patients, plasma noradrenaline, serum interleukin (IL)-6, hi...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.
There is conclusive evidence that obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) influences right heart haemodynamics and can also induce pulmonary hypertension. It is not known, however, whether right ventricular dysfunction can occur in patients with OSAS in the absence of lung disease. We studied 107 patients (94 males, 13 females, mean age 55 +/- 11 yrs) with polysomnographically verified OSAS in...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS): effects on the vestibular system
Aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) on the peripheral and central vestibular system, by means of a case series prospective study at the University referral centre of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery; 45 consecutive patients suffering from OSAS were compared with a control group of 30 volunteer subjects selected from among the depa...
متن کاملCan you die from obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS)?
Studies suggest an independent association between Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) and cardiovascular death. The purpose of our study is to examine doctors' awareness of this association and to determine whether this correlates with recording of OSAS on death certificates. We contacted the Central Statistics Office (CSO) and obtained relevant mention of OSAS on death certificates. We s...
متن کامل[Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS)].
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common cause of chronic cough, heartburn, epigastric or retrosternal discomfort, chest pain and abdominal pain or esophagitis. Our patients with OSAS seldom manifest GERD symptoms. We suspected that obesity and high pressure in abdominal cavity may induce acid gastroesophageal reflux in these patients. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis t...
