Obstructive sleep apnea detection during wakefulness: a comprehensive methodological review
AbstractObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition affecting up to 1 billion people, globally. Despite this spread, OSA is still thought to be underdiagnosed. Lack of diagnosis is largely attributed to the high cost, resource-intensive, and time-consuming nature of existing diagnostic technologies during sleep. As individuals with OSA do not show many symptoms other than daytime sleepiness, predicting OSA while the individual is awake (wakefulness) is quite challenging. However, research especially in the last decade has shown promising results for quick and accurate methodologies to predict OSA during wakefulnes...

The Association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Venous Thromboembolism: A Bidirectional Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Conclusion Our bidirectional two-sample MR analysis did not find genetic evidence supporting a significant association between OSA and VTE in either direction.PMID:38631385 | DOI:10.1055/a-2308-2290 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Blood Pressure Regulation and Hypertension in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Historical Perspective
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2960-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), an underlying disease of secondary hypertension, repeated episodes of asphyxia due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), followed by arousal, lead to various cardiovascular consequences. Using a canine model of OSAS, it was found that a single load of OSA caused an abrupt increase in blood pressure (BP) (Apnea Surge in seconds), while multiple OSA episodes occurring nightly for 1-3 months led to a sustained elevation of BP during both nighttime and daytime. Epidemiological studies on 24-hour...

Does obstructive sleep apnea –induced intermittent hypoxia increase the incidence of solitary pulmonary nodules, thyroid nodules, and other disorders? A retrospective study based on 750 cardiovascular disease patients
ConclusionsPatients combined with OSA may further develop more comorbidities, such as SPN, TN, and carotid-artery plaques. It may be related to intermittent hypoxia caused by OSA. (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

The CORE syndrome: an overlap of severe asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, rhinosinusitis, and esophageal reflux
CONCLUSION: Whenever facing SA patients, non-responders to therapy, it is important to suspect the presence of CORE syndrome; in particular, the detection and subsequent treatment of OSA would seem to improve the outcome of such patients.PMID:38627338 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03028-x (Source: Sleep and Breathing)
