Effect of Positive Airway Pressure Therapy on Cardiovascular Risk in Sleep Apnea
Patients with sleep apnea who received positive airway pressure therapy did not exhibit reduced cardiovascular risk compared with patients who received usual care.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Assessing the Overlapping Brain Pathologies in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Alzheimer Disease
Researchers analyzed autopsy brain tissue from confirmed obstructive sleep apnea cases for amyloid beta and tau, hallmark proteins of Alzheimer disease.
Generalized Epilepsy Tied to Higher Sleep Apnea Risk
Patients with generalized epilepsy have a higher risk for OSA and treatment of OSA may be an important part of treatment of epilepsy.
Surgery May Be Viable Option for Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Combined palatal and tongue surgery reduces the number of apnea and hypopnea events in adults with OSA for whom conventional therapy has failed.
Nasal High Flow Therapy May Reduce Sympathetic Drive in Pulmonary Hypertension and OSA
Nighttime nasal high flow therapy at 20 L/min reduced sympathetic drive in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea.
Snoring Predicts Risk of Cerebral Events in Patients With OSA and CVD
Snoring is associated with increased risk of cerebral events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and established cardiovascular disease.
Neurostimulation Device Approved for Younger Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Food and Drug Administration has expanded the approval of Inspire therapy (Inspire Medical Systems) to include patients aged 18 to 21 years with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who are unable to use continuous positive airway pressure.
STOPBAG2 Offers High Discriminatory Power for Predicting OSA Severity in Adults With Epilepsy
The STOPBAG2 scoring instrument, which incorporates sleep-related symptoms and continuous variables for age and BMI, offers greater discriminatory power for predicting all levels of OSA severity in adults with epilepsy.
Gender Differences in Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Men with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) have a tendency to have more severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), compared with women with IIH.
Physiologic Traits Associated CPAP Adherence in Patients With Stroke and OSA
Physiologic traits that cause obstructive sleep apnea are also associated with adherence to continuous positive airway pressure in patients with stroke.
