OBJECTIVES To determine and quantify changes in both central and obstructive sleep apnea in patients with Down syndrome (DS) after adenotonsillectomy (AT). STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Tertiary care children's hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The records of all patients with DS who underwent AT for sleep-disordered breathing between November 2008 and December 2014 wer...

BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) increases platelet activation and has been reported as an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in the general population and is believed to be associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We evaluated RDW, mean plate...

Objective: To observe the efficacy of Montelukast combined with sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in treatment children obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) complicated allergic rhinitis (AR).
 Methods: This is a prospective study. A total 102 OSAHS admitted to Hunan Children’s Hospital from April 2020 2021 were selected and randomly divided into two groups: group two-drug combi...

INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea causes changes in normal sleep architecture, fragmenting it chronically with intermittent hypoxia, leading to serious health consequences in the long term. It is believed that the occurrence of respiratory events during sleep, such as apnea and hypopnea, can impair the transmission of nerve impulses along the auditory pathway that are highly dependent on the...

We hypothesize that sleep apnea-hypopnea alters interaction between cardiac vagal modulation and sleep delta EEG. Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is related to cardiovascular complications in men. SAHS patients show higher sympathetic activity than normal subjects. In healthy men, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is associated with cardiac vagal influence, whereas rapid eye movement (RE...

UNLABELLED Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a complex disease, which the etiology is multifactorial and incompletely understood. Surgery with genioglossus advancement is indicated in hypopharynx obstruction. AIM evaluate the efficacy and complications of genioplasty technique for genioglossus muscle advancement in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHODS p...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent, affecting 25% of men and 10% of women. Treatment reduces seizures in some patients. Awareness of the comorbidity of sleep disturbances in epilepsy has been increasing. No study has explored OSA predictors in patients unselected for epilepsy severity and sleep disorder symptoms. We assessed cross-sectional OSA prevalence and predictors (apnea-hy...

Abstract
 Background
 Chronic hypoxia may lead to auditory dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and this worsen OSA, creating a vicious circle. The aim of study was investigate tinnitus hearing loss OSA patients.
 Methods
 A total 147 were included the study. After polysomnography (PSG), an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5 group, ones AHI

OBJECTIVE The prevalence of complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS) among Asian patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has not yet been reported. Distinguishing CompSAS from pure OSAS is difficult using only diagnostic polysomnography (PSG). We examined the prevalence of CompSAS in Japanese patients with OSAS and the possibility to distinguish CompSAS from pure OSAS by analyzing t...

overlap syndrome, which is known as the coexistence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and obstructive sleep apnea (osa), was first defined by flenley. although it can refer to concomitant occurrence of any of the pulmonary diseases and osa, overlap syndrome is commonly considered as the coexistence of osa and copd. this disease has unique adverse health consequences distinct from ...
