Objective: To present current findings importance orthognathic surgery treatment obst...

About one half of patients who have essential hypertension have obstructive sleep apnea, and about one half of patients who have obstructive sleep apnea have essential hypertension. A growing body of evidence suggests that obstructive sleep apnea is a major contributing factor in the development of essential hypertension. Despite many patients with obstructive sleep apnea having clear symptoms ...

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...

INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea occurs by recurrent collapse of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in total (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) reduction of the airflow and has intimate relation with changes in the upper airway. Cone Beam CT allows the analysis of the upper airway and its volume by three-dimensional reconstruction. OBJECTIVE To evaluate a possible correlation between the...

Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSA) is a disease of obstructive apnea or hypopnea caused by repeated partial complete collapse the upper airway during sleep. The inspiratory part flow-volume curve (F-V curve) can be used as an auxiliary means to evaluate obstruction in adults. This study ability F-V predict OSA and explore indicators related Methods: There were 332 patien...

OBJECTIVES Bimaxillary advancement surgery has proven to be effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. According to the Stanford protocol upper airway soft tissue surgery or advancement of tongue by chin plastic surgery is first carried out and if obstructive sleep apnea persists, then bimaxillary advancement is done. This study describes the 5 year outcome of 13 obstructive sleep...

UNLABELLED Pediatric patients with well-controlled OSA present few difficulties for routine dental treatment. However, patients with untreated or undiagnosed OSA can present the dental practitioner with multiple issues and challenges. Dental professionals have a unique doctor-patient relationship that affords them a role in recognizing sleep disorders by exploring the history of patients who ar...

background and objective: obstructive sleep apnea (osa) is the most common respiratory disorder during sleep and a risk factor for myocardial ischemia. in this study, we evaluated the proportion of subjects at high risk for osa and prevalence of its predictors among patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction (mi). materials and methods : a total of 210 patients with mi admitted at the ca...

background and objective: obstructive sleep apnea (osa) is frequent and in some degree it affects about 24% of male and 9% of female in middle age adults. this study aimed to assess the association between risk of osa and cad. materials and methods : this case-control study was performed among 184 patients with a history of coro- nary angiography in two catheter labs at hospitals in qom, iran. ...

background and objective: the main causes of nocturnal hypoxemia are pulmonary diseases or sleep related breathing disorders. in overlap syndrome, the co-existence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and ob-structive sleep apnea (osa), blood oxygen alteration, and hypercapnia may be more severe. we aimed to study hypox-emia markers in osa patients with or without copd. materials and...
