Longer respiratory events in childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome constitute a trait of older children with excessive daytime sleepiness
The objective was to evaluate the determinants of desaturation during apnea and apnea–hypopnea duration’s links with the endotypes (pharyngeal compliance, loop gain) of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and with heart rate variability (HRV) indices.
Ultrasonographic evaluation of masticatoryand suprahyoid muscles in obstructive sleepapnea patients treated with mandibularadvancement devices; a pilot study
This study aimed to assess the thickness and ultrasonographic pattern of the masticatory and suprahyoid muscles in OSA patients and compare the effects of mono-bloc (MB) and bibloc (BB) mandibular advancement devices (MADs) via ultrasonographic measurements.
Beyond the apnea-hypopnea index: symptomaticassessment as a treatment pathway for obstructivesleep apnea management
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition, with positive airway pressure (PAP) being the most studied and widely used treatment modality. While a variety of non-PAP therapies have been explored over the years, none have demonstrated the same efficacy in addressing the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as PAP therapy. PAP is capable of almost completely eliminating breathing events, regardless of the patient’s age, body mass index, endotypes, or comorbidities. How
