Relationship Between Sleep Apnea and Cancer.
In the light of relationships reported between hypoxemia (tissue hypoxia) and cancer, Abrams et al. concluded in 2008 that sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) and its main consequence, intermittent hypoxia, could be related with increased susceptibility to cancer or poorer prognosis of a pre-existing tumor. This pathophysiological association was confirmed in animal studies. Two large independ...
متن کاملSleep apnea awakens cancer
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder affecting approximately 4 to 10% of adults that has been implicated in a large spectrum of end-organ morbidities. OSA is characterized by repetitive obstructions of the upper airway during sleep that result in intermittent hypoxia (IH), increased inspiratory efforts, and ultimately sleep fragmentation (SF). A large body of re...
متن کاملSleep Apnea Relationship Between Overnight Rostral Fluid Shift and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Drug-Resistant Hypertension
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs frequently in patients with drug-resistant hypertension. The factors accounting for this observation, however, are unclear. Both conditions demonstrate clinical features suggestive of extracellular fluid volume overload. The aims of this study were to examine whether the spontaneous overnight fluid shift from the legs to the upper body is associated with obstructi...
متن کاملDetermination of The Relationship Between Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea And Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are at increased risk of sleep-disorders. The concomitant occurrence of COPD and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is named overlap syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate the severity of OSAHS in overlap syndrome patients.Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients with forced...
متن کاملA survey on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and difficult intubation in the elderly
Background and Objectives: Difficult intubation is one of the challenges for patients undergoing anesthesia that leads to severe complications and death. Obstructive sleep apnea is one of the factors that may be associated with difficult intubation. The present study was carried out to investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and difficult intubation in the elderly. Mater...
