Recent physiological/epidemiological evidence that SDB, in particular intermittent hypoxia, may increase production of inflammatory...

The diagnosis of OSA in COPD patients requires clinical awareness and screening. Sleep-related hypoventilation is common in NMD and...

OHS is diagnosed during an episode of hypercapnic respiratory failure or when symptoms lead to pulmonary or sleep consultation. OHS is...

Experts in sleep medicine are able to recognize activity patterns of iRBD with visual analysis of actigraphy and distinguish from other...

Total of 978 patients were included in the study (298 AHI <15 events/h and 680 with AHI ⩾15 events/h). A set of variables associated with...

Telemonitoring was shown to be more cost-effective than standard care for the management of OSA. In this specific study, there was no...

Pathophysiology of central breathing disturbances during sleep differ in terms of respiratory drive, comorbidities and underlying...

Nocturnal hypertension, circadian BP and night-time HR at baseline could be important predictors of the BP response to CPAP in severe...

Personalities present challenges in the uptake and maintenance of the use of mechanical devices or weight loss therapy. Phenotyping...

Sleep architecture, total sleep time and staging differ considerably from fetallife to adulthood. Infants are especially vulnerable to...

Review of the age-related changes contributing to SDB. Good evidence to support treatment with CPAP therapy in older populations. However...

Persons with OVS have significantly lower PA assessed by daily step counts and higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers, compared to COPD...

Respiratory endotyping is a promising method for differentiating physiological etiologies of sleep apnea and potential treatment...

Following persistent and repetitive sleep restriction, ANS recovery continues for at least three nights after resumption of normal sleep,...
