Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2625: Association of Visual-Based Signals with Electroencephalography Patterns in Enhancing the Drowsiness Detection in Drivers with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Yuksel Peker Individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) face increased accident risks due to excessive daytime sleepiness. PERCLOS, a recognized drowsiness detection method, encounters challenges from image quality, eyewear interference, and lighting variations, impacting its performance, and requiring validation through physiological signals. We propose visual-based scoring using adaptive thresholding for eye aspect ratio with OpenCV for face detection and Dlib for eye detection from video recordings. This technique identified 453 drowsiness (PERCLOS ≥ 0.3 || CLOSDUR ≥ 2 s) and 474 wakeful...

Sleep studies in obese children with obstructive sleep apnea: Pulse oximetry as a diagnostic tool
This study assesses whether oximetry is a reliable diagnostic tool for obstructive sleep apnea in obese children. We reviewed the medical records of obese children with a suspected diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea who underwent oximetry and cardiorespiratory polygraphy or full polysomnography at Sheffield Children's Hospital between January 2010 and March 2022. We compared oximetry results with the apnea-hypopnea index from cardiorespiratory polygraphy or full polysomnography for each patient. A total of 60 patient records were included in the analysis. The sensitivity of oximetry in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea ...

Association of Air Pollution with Risk and Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest air pollutants, especially NO2, might play a role in worsening OSA risk and severity, but the evidence isn't definitive. This highlights the variability of different pollutants' effects and the necessity for more research. Understanding these links is vital for shaping public health policies and clinical approaches to address OSA amidst high air pollution.PMID:38636605 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuro.2024.04.005 (Source: Neurotoxicology)

Persistent and symptomatic periodic breathing beyond the neonatal period in full-term infants: A case series
CONCLUSION: This study presents cases of persistent and symptomatic PB after 1 month of life in infants born at term. The interesting finding was the presence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and/or central apnea syndrome in the majority of children, along with GER.PMID:38637248 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2024.01.007 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

Skip Polysomnography Before Adenotonsillectomy for Snoring? —Reply
In Reply We thank Kaditis et al for bringing attention to the insights and clinical complexities illuminated by the results of the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring (PATS), as published in JAMA and JAMA Otolaryngology –Head& Neck Surgery. As elucidated by the authors, PATS introduced the term mild sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) to encompass children with both primary snoring (AHI,<1) and mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI], 1-3), distinct from the conventional definition of mild OSA typically denoted by an AHI of 1 to 5. It is noteworthy that all participants in PATS under...

Skip Polysomnography Before Adenotonsillectomy for Snoring?
To the Editor In December 2023, results of the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring (PATS) were published in JAMA and JAMA Otolaryngology –Head& Neck Surgery. Like other elegantly designed and executed clinical trials, PATS triggers more questions than the answers provided. The novel term mild sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is introduced that combines snoring with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of less than 1 event/h (primary snoring) and AHI 1 to less than 3 events/h (mild obstructive sleep apnea [OSA]). Although both subgroups are indistinguishable regarding symptoms and morbidity, this term could confus...
