The dark side of apnea: altered 24-hour melatonin secretion in obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) is disease severity dependent
CONCLUSION: This study describes clear OSAS severity dependent abnormalities in melatonin production in OSAS patients, independent of sex and/or age. Future research should indicate whether oral melatonin supplementation has beneficial effects in OSAS patients with attenuated endogenous melatonin production.PMID:38801480 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03066-5 (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Sleep apnea patients with epiglottic collapse elevate their larynx more with swallowing; videofluoroscopic swallowing study of 80 patients
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with epiglottic collapse do not exhibit neurophysiological or cognitive impairments when compared to non-Epi group. However, the Epi-group displayed a significantly increased laryngeal elevation length. This suggests that anatomical factors may have a more substantial role in the development of epiglottic collapse than neurophysiological factors.PMID:38795279 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03065-6 (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Gender differences in oral appliance treatment of obstructive sleep apnea
CONCLUSION: Both females and males with OSA respond well to OA therapy, with nonsignificant gender differences in outcomes. Thus, the hypothesis that females respond better to OA treatment is rejected.PMID:38772967 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03019-y (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Analysis of functional connectivity changes in attention networks and default mode networks in patients with depression and insomnia
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate distinct patterns of altered functional connectivity in individuals with MDD, ID, and iMDD compared to healthy controls. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of depression and insomnia, which could be used as a reference for the diagnosis and treatments of these patients.PMID:38772968 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03064-7 (Source: Sleep and Breathing)
