This study examined the effect of repetitive apnea on brain oxygen pressure in newborn piglets. Each animal was given 10 episodes of apnea, initiated by disconnecting them from the ventilator and completed by reconnecting them to the ventilation circuit. The apneic episodes were ended 30 sec after the heart rate reached the bradycardic threshold of 60 beats per min. The oxygen pressure in the m...
Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by total or partial interruptions of airflow during sleep, despite ongoing efforts to breathe. These pauses result from repeated upper airway obstructions that generate a systemic inflammatory condition with consequences for the endothelial function that increase the risk of cardiometabolic events. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea during pregnan...
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with a variety of serious health risks. Standard methods for detecting and quantifying sleep apnea are based on respiration monitoring, but previous studies have suggested that apnea detection based on the ECG alone might be possible. We therefore offered a challenge to the research community, to demonstrate the efficacy of ECG-based methods for apnea detec...
Sleep apnea is a common disorder associated with obesity and related health problems. Although treatment of sleep apnea may relieve some autonomic symptoms, it is currently unknown whether treatment of sleep apnea is specifically associated with the resolution of orthostatism and syncope. Herein we describe a 73-year-old man who had recurrent episodes of syncope. An extensive work-up, including...
The utility of the apnea index (number of apneic events per hour of sleep) in diagnosing sleep apnea syndrome is reviewed. Data from currently extant reports indicate that many otherwise normal, aging subjects may be classified as having sleep apnea syndrome based on the current diagnostic threshold of five apneic episodes per hour: A chi 2 analysis suggests a relationship between age and level...
The concentration of the protein S100B in serum is used as a brain damage marker in various conditions. We wanted to investigate whether a voluntary, prolonged apnea in trained breath-hold divers resulted in an increase of S100B in serum. Nine trained breath-hold divers performed a protocol mimicking the procedures they use during breath-hold training and competition, including extensive preapn...
BACKGROUND Sleep related disordered breathing (SDB) in pediatric Prader-Willi Syndrome is gaining increased attention due to the possible association of growth hormone therapy, SDB and sudden death. However data on the patterns of SDB and their management, particularly in infants in this population, is lacking. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to 1) describe patterns of SDB in growth hormo...
BACKGROUND Heart failure is a highly prevalent disorder that continues to be associated with repeated hospitalizations, high morbidity, and high mortality. Sleep-related breathing disorders with repetitive episodes of asphyxia may adversely affect heart function. The main aims of this study were to determine the prevalence, consequences, and differences in various sleep-related breathing disord...
OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea is frequent during the acute phase of stroke, and it is associated with poorer outcomes. A well-established relationship between supine sleep and obstructive sleep apnea severity exists in non-stroke patients. This study investigated the frequency of supine sleep and positional obstructive sleep apnea in patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS P...
Although obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease have common risk factors, epidemiologic studies show that sleep apnea increases risks for cardiovascular disease independently of individuals' demographic characteristics (i.e., age, sex, and race) or risk markers (i.e., smoking, alcohol, obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension). Individuals with severe s...
