Automatic detection of obstructive sleep apnea based on speech or snoring sounds: a narrative review
CONCLUSIONS: Due to the significant advantages of noninvasive, low-cost, and contactless data collection, an automatic approach based on speech or snoring sounds seems to be a promising tool for the detection of OSA.PMID:38738242 | PMC:PMC11087644 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-310 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Clinical characteristics of non-sleepy obstructive sleep apnea patients: a study in a tertiary care sleep clinic in India
This study aims to evaluate epidemiological and clinical distinctions between sleepy and non-sleepy OSA patients. A retrospective analysis was conducted on consecutive patients undergoing polysomnography for OSA assessment at tertiary care hospitals between 2018 and 2023. For 176 of 250 patients, complete polysomnography records with OSA diagnoses were available. Non-sleepy OSA was defined when a patient had an Epworth sleepiness scale score <10 and polysomnography demonstrated an apnea hypopnea index ≥5/hour. Non-sleepy OSA patients were matched with sleepy OSA patients in terms of age and gender distribution (mean a...

Advancements in the neurocirculatory reflex response to hypoxia
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2024 May 13. doi: 10.1152/ajpregu.00237.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypoxia is a pivotal factor in the pathophysiology of various clinical conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea, which has a strong association with cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, posing significant health risks. Although the precise mechanisms linking hypoxemia-associated clinical conditions with hypertension remains incompletely understood, compelling evidence suggests that hypoxia induces plasticity of the neurocirculatory control system. Despite variations in experimental designs and the ...

Antioxidant therapies for obstructive sleep apnea: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Antioxidant therapy in patients with OSA is associated with improved endothelial function, reduced oxidative stress, and improved sleep parameters. These results call for future multicentre studies with longer follow-ups to assess the utility of antioxidant therapy in patients with OSA.PMID:38740632 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03050-z (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Respiration-triggered olfactory stimulation reduces obstructive sleep apnea severity: A prospective pilot study
In conclusion, olfactory stimulation during sleep was effective in reducing the severity of obstructive sleep apnea markers without inducing arousals, and may provide a novel treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, prompting continued research.PMID:38740050 | DOI:10.1111/jsr.14236 (Source: Journal of Sleep Research)
