What is the combined effect of insomnia and OSA on all-cause mortality and the occurrence of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes?
Sleep-Related Hypoxia Tied to Higher Risk for COVID-19 Hospitalizations, Death
Researchers sought to investigate the association between sleep-disordered breathing and sleep-related hypoxia with SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 outcomes.
Suboptimal Sleep and Stress Linked to Reduced Hippocampal Subfield Atrophy
Researchers sought to investigate the relationship between sleep and stress and total hippocampal volume and hippocampal subfield volumes among older adults.
Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis Do Not Have Higher Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Researchers assessed the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with ankylosing spondylitis compared with matched control participants, and determined factors associated with OSA in patients with AS.
Bedwetting May Improve After Adenotonsillectomy for Sleep Apnea
Adenotonsillectomy for the treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) appears to also result in improvement in bedwetting.
Untreated Sleep Apnea Tied to COVID-19 Infections, More Severe Cases
Untreated OSA is associated with increased rates of COVID-19 infection, while PAP therapy is associated with lower COVID-19 infection rates.
