Down syndrome (DS, also known as Trisomy 21) is a condition associated with abnormal neurodevelopment and a higher risk for sleep apnea. Our study sought to better understand and characterize the age-...
Retrospective review of polysomnograms in over 4151 infants, children, and adolescents in the pediatric sleep center at Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C. (0-18 years) including 218 indiv...
The primary findings of our study are that: (1) severe OSA (obstructive apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 10/h) was more prevalent in the DS group (euploid 18% vs. DS 34%, p < 0.001) with the highest OSA severit...
Severe OSA is highly prevalent in children with DS and follows an age-dependent "U" distribution with peaks in newborns/infants and children >10 years of age. Children with DS also have disturbances i...
Heart failure (HF) affects many patients worldwide every year. It represents a leading cause of hospitalization and still, today, mortality remains high, albeit the progress in treatment strategies. S...
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is the most common sleep disorder which affects human life and health. Many researchers use deep learning methods to automatically learn the features of physiological signal...
Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) is an independent risk factor for neurocognitive and behavioral problems and cardiovascular and metabolic morbidities, ultimately increasing mortality. ...
From January 2019 to July 2022, subjects with suspected OSA were recruited in the sleep center of the Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital during sleep evaluation via standard polysomnography. Basic anthr...
A total of 2303 subjects with suspected OSA (1200 in the experimental group and 1103 in the validation group) were included. SASHB was positively correlated with the apnea-hyponea index (AHI) in all s...
SASHB predicted OSA both accurately and efficiently in a Chinese Han population. Further studies are warranted to verify our findings in community samples....
The purpose of this study is to examine the pathophysiology underlying sleep apnea (SA)....
We consider several critical features of SA including the roles played by the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) that controls vegetative functions and electroencephalographic findings assoc...
We reviewed the published literature focused on sleep apnea (SA) reported in Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed databases....
The MTN neurons respond to the hypothalamic GABA release by releasing glutamate that activates neurons in the ARAS. Based on these findings, we conclude that a dysfunctional MTN may be incapable of ac...
While obstruction may contribute to the overall pathology, the primary factor involved in this scenario is the lack of neurotransmitters....
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a common but underdiagnosed health problem related to impaired quality of life and increased cardiovascular risk. In order to solve the problem of complicated and expensi...
In daily practice, sleep apnea is underdiagnosed in people with Down syndrome. The WatchPAT can detect sleep apnea in a less invasive way....
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the WatchPAT to detect sleep apnea in individuals with Down syndrome....
Thirty-one participants with Down syndrome (aged 18+) were included. Sleep apnea was detected with the WatchPAT and compared to results of the STOP-Bang Questionnaire (current practice). Experiences o...
Among the 68% of participants who accepted the WatchPAT, sleep apnea was detected in 95% of participants. Younger participants and participants with mild/moderate intellectual disabilities were more l...
Our study showed that the WatchPAT is a promising device to detect sleep apnea in people with Down syndrome. Compared to polysomnography, detection with this device is less invasive and less burdensom...
The integration of virtual surgical planning (VSP) for the treatment of skeletal, dental, and facial abnormalities and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with maxillofacial surgery has catapulted surgical ...
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a public health problem. In African countries, it is an underdiagnosed pathology. Our objective was to assess SAS knowledge, attitudes and practices among doctors in Niam...
A 6-month descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from December 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019, involving 307 doctors working in health facilities in Niamey....
Two hundred and seventy-two doctors (88.59%) responded, of whom 51.47% (n=140) were medical specialists, 32.35% (n=88) general practitioners and 16.18% (n=44) specialist doctors. Their level of knowle...
In a majority of cases, level of relevant knowledge was insufficient. Doctors need training on sleep apnea syndrome....
Patients suffering from aortic dissection (AD) often experience sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), which aggravates their respiratory function and aortic false lumen expansion....
We analyzed the peri-operative data of Stanford A AD patients, with or without SAS, between January 2017 and June 2019. Subjects were separated into SAS positive (SAS...
155, out of 198 AAD patients, were enlisted for this study. SAS...
