Abstract Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may trigger inflammation. However, growing evidence suggests a role for inflammation in predisposing OSA through increased upper airway size/collapsibility and altered ventilatory control. Inflammation also promotes disturbance excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Genetic analysis provide further insights into the causal relationship between ch...

Abstract Introduction The mechanism underlying the development of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains unclear. Thus, we characterised association between architecture and EDS individuals with without OSA. Methods 1876 suspected OSA patients reporting underwent in-lab polysomnography next-day multiple latency test (MSLT). We investigated characteristics (a...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is an association between risk behavior for eating disorders (EDs) and dental erosion and caries. A controlled cross-sectional study was conducted in Brazil, involving 850 randomly selected female adolescents. After evaluating risk behavior for eating disorders through the Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh, 12 adolescents were identified...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Energy drinks (EDs) are suspected to induce potential adverse cardiovascular effects and have recently been shown to reduce cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) in young, healthy subjects. Gender differences in CBFV in response to EDs have not previously been investigated, despite the fact that women are more prone to cardiovascular disturbances such as neurocardiogenic sy...

STUDY OBJECTIVE We determine the number and location of freestanding emergency departments (EDs) across the United States and determine the population characteristics of areas where freestanding EDs are located. METHODS We conducted a systematic inventory of US freestanding EDs. For the 3 states with the highest number of freestanding EDs, we linked demographic, insurance, and health services...

AIM The purpose of this study was to characterise the enamel surface of sound deciduous teeth in terms of morphology, chemical composition, structure and crystalline phases. MATERIALS AND METHODS The enamel of 30 human deciduous teeth was examined by: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spec...

BACKGROUND Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has emerged as a common cause of skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) in the United States. It is unknown whether this development has affected the national rate of visits to primary care practices and emergency departments (EDs) and whether changes in antibiotic prescribing have occurred. METHODS We examin...

The aim of the study was to discover interrelation between severity gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, acid exposure time (AET), excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and level active blood plasma ghrelin in patients with undifferentiated connective tissue (UCTD). Materials methods: included 120 GERD. All were divided two groups: Group I - GERD not accompanied by signs (n=45) II deve...
