Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea: Unveiling correlations and treatable traits for comprehensive care
Chron Respir Dis. 2024 Jan-Dec;21:14799731241251827. doi: 10.1177/14799731241251827.ABSTRACTAsthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are common respiratory disorders. They share characteristics such as airway obstruction, poor sleep quality, and low quality of life. They are often present as comorbidities, along with obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and allergic rhinitis (AR), which impacts the disease's control. In recent years, there has been discussion about the association between these conditions and their pathophysiological and clinical consequences, resulting in worse health outcomes, increased healt...

Assessing the impact of continuous positive airway pressure therapy on clinical outcomes in interstitial lung disease patients with coexisting obstructive sleep apnea: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: CPAP therapy may improve outcomes in ILD-OSA patients, particularly in terms of quality of life and ILD exacerbations. Nonetheless, further research with standardized definitions and rigorous methodology is needed to confirm its efficacy, particularly regarding mortality outcome.PMID:38717714 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03054-9 (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea related to insulin resistance
CONCLUSIONS: Intermittent hypoxia and disturbances in REM sleep emerge as main contributors to insulin resistance in OSA patients yet to experience diabetes onset.PMID:38717715 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03040-1 (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Gender differences in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: a pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: Men were associated with a higher AHI when sleeping in the supine position and this may be useful to look for new therapeutic options in combination with or as an alternative to CPAP. BMI correlated positively with AHI in men and this should be considered to stimulate weight loss as the main treatment to reduce the number of apneas/hypopneas, as men also had less therapeutic adherence to CPAP in our study. Females presented a significantly higher frequency of hypopneas than men, as well as a lower number of desaturation events per hour (ODI): these differences in the nocturnal home sleep cardiorespiratory moni...

A study on pulmonary function in children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome
CONCLUSION: The pulmonary function of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is impaired and varies in severity. There are significant differences in pulmonary function, underscoring the importance of monitoring pulmonary function in these children for clinical assessment and treatment prognosis.PMID:38717718 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03043-y (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

The effect of PAP on UACR and metabolic indexes in patients with MS and OSAHS
CONCLUSIONS: PAP treatment can reduce UACR in patients with MS and OSAHS, and has the effect of improving metabolic disorders. The decrease of UACR in patients may be related to the decrease of visceral fat and the improvement of insulin resistance.PMID:38720150 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03044-x (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Telephone follow-up as a substitute for standard out-clinic follow-up in CPAP therapy for obstructive sleep apnea patients: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: TC might serve as substitute for SC in some part of the OSA population. If TC becomes a part of CPAP therapy management, it is important to consider patient characteristics and treatment-related issues to prevent decline in adherence.PMID:38720151 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03045-w (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Rehabilitation in obstructive sleep apnea: an ignored treatment adjunct
Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2024 May 7. doi: 10.4081/monaldi.2024.3014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remain physically inactive during the day, are deconditioned, and have an impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The role of rehabilitation is not yet defined in OSA, despite proven effective modalities for chronic illnesses like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In this prospective study, over a period of one year, 30 individuals with sleep-disordered breathing were included. Before recruitment, every patient was receiving continuous positive airway pressure treatment...

Assessing sleep-related breathing disorders among newly diagnosed rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis patients: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionOur findings reveal a high prevalence of SRBD in newly diagnosed, untreated RA and PsA patients in ESS and RPG, with excessive daytime sleepiness being a reliable predictor of SRBD. Patients with RA exhibited a higher predisposition to SAS. We therefore suggest incorporating ESS and RPG as screening tools in RA or PsA for early detection and management of SRBD.

Comparative evaluation of postoperative outcomes and expenditure between robotic and conventional single-level lumbar fusion surgery: a comprehensive analysis of nationwide inpatient sample data
ConclusionThis is the first big data study on this matter, our study showed that Robotic-assisted lumbar fusion surgery has fewer post-operative complications such as heart failure, acute coronary artery disease, pulmonary edema, venous thromboembolism, and traumatic spinal injury in comparison to conventional methods. Conversely, robotic surgery demonstrated increased post-surgery anemia, blood transfusion and acute kidney injury. Robotic surgery has higher charges compared to non-robotic surgery.
