Translation of obstructive sleep apnea pathophysiology and phenotypes to personalized treatment: a narrative review
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) arises due to periodic blockage of the upper airway (UA) during sleep, as negative pressure generated during inspiration overcomes the force exerted by the UA dilator muscles to maintain patency. This imbalance is primarily seen in individuals with a narrowed UA, attributable to factors such as inherent craniofacial anatomy, neck fat accumulation, and rostral fluid shifts in the supine posture. Sleep-induced attenuation of UA dilating muscle responsiveness, respiratory instability, and high loop gain further exacerbate UA obstruction. The widespread comorbidity profile of OSA, encompassing car...

The multifaceted aspects of sleep and sleep-wake disorders following stroke
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2023 Aug 21:S0035-3787(23)00991-8. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.08.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleep-wake disorders (SWD) are acknowledged risk factors for both ischemic stroke and poor cardiovascular and functional outcome after stroke. SWD are frequent following stroke, with sleep apnea (SA) being the most frequent SWD affecting more than half of stroke survivors. While sleep disturbances and SWD are frequently reported in the acute phase, they may persist in the chronic phase after an ischemic stroke. Despite the frequency and risk associated with SWD following stroke, screening for SWD remains ...

Sleepiness in neurological disorders
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2023 Aug 17:S0035-3787(23)00986-4. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.07.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleepiness is a frequent and underrecognized symptom in neurological disorders, that impacts functional outcomes and quality of life. Multiple and potentially additive factors might contribute to sleepiness in neurological disorders, including sleep quality alterations, circadian rhythm disorders, drugs, and sleep disorders including sleep apnea or central disorders of hypersomnolence. Physician awareness of the possible symptoms of hypersomnolence, and associated causes is of crucial importance to allow ...

Study of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in cerebral infarction patients
ConclusionObstructive sleep apnea Syndrome is a factor in the prognosis of cerebral infarction as well as cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. Thus, understanding the risk of stroke in people with sleep apnea is necessary and working with a doctor to diagnose and treat sleep apnea is important.

Effect of different ventilation modalities on the early prognosis of patients with sleep apnea after acute ischemic stroke –––protocol for a prospective, open-label and randomised controlled trial
Sleep apnea is highly prevalent after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and has increased stroke-related mortality and morbidity. The conventional sleep apnea treatment is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ...

Recent progress in patent foramen ovale and related neurological diseases: A narrative review
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital cardiac abnormality when the opening of the interatrial septum is not closed in adulthood. This abnormality affects 25% of the general population. With the development of precision medicine, an increasing number of clinical studies have reported that PFO is closely related to various neurological diseases such as stroke, migraine, obstructive sleep apnea, and decompression syndrome. It has also been suggested that PFO closure could be effective for preventing and treating these neurological diseases. Therefore, increasing attention has been given to the prevention, diagnosi...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Stroke: Determining the Mechanisms Behind their Association and Treatment Options
AbstractSleep-disordered breathing (SDB) can be a sequela of stroke caused by vascular injury to vital respiratory centers, cerebral edema, and increased intracranial pressure of space-occupying lesions. Likewise, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contributes to increased stroke risk through local mechanisms such as impaired ischemic cerebrovascular response and systemic effects such as promoting atherosclerosis, hypercoagulability, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular-endothelial dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome. The impact of OSA on stroke outcomes has been established, yet it receives less attention in national guidelines on st...

Benefits in quality of life following an obstructive sleep apnea screening and treatment program in patients with acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Although more evidence is needed, a significant improvement in QOL was suggested after our OSA intervention, particularly in patients with good CPAP adherence.PMID:36782347 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7604.2022359
