Characteristics of ADHD Symptoms and EEG Theta/Beta Ratio in Children With Sleep Disordered Breathing
Conclusion. Children with SDB showed more ADHD inattention symptoms than the healthy control. Although we found no difference in TBR among groups, we found significant main effect for NREM period. There existed a relationship between hypoxia, TBR, and scores of ADHD symptoms. Hence, it was speculated that TBR can reflect the nocturnal electrophysiological manifestations in children with SDB, which may be related to daytime ADHD symptoms.PMID:38403954 | DOI:10.1177/15500594241234828 (Source: Clinical EEG and Neuroscience)

The role of atypical deglutition in children and adolescents with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
J Sleep Res. 2024 Feb 19:e14175. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14175. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of atypical deglutition (tongue thrust) in children diagnosed with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and to explore its associations, particularly in relation to the type of dentition (mixed or permanent). The study was conducted over a 5 year period at a paediatric hospital in Paris, France. Children aged 6-18 years with moderate to severe OSAS (apnea-hypopnea index ≥5/h) underwent a comprehensive evaluation, including the recording of demographic data,...

A multi-branch convolutional neural network for snoring detection based on audio
This study utilized Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) as a method for extracting features during the preprocessing of raw data. In order to extract multi-scale features from the frequency domain of sound sources, this study proposes the utilization of a multi-branch convolutional neural network (MBCNN) for the purpose of classification. The network utilized asymmetric convolutional kernels to acquire additional information, while the adoption of one-hot encoding labels aimed to mitigate the impact of labels. The experiment tested the network's performance by utilizing a publicly available dataset consisting of 1,...

Mechanisms of sleep disturbances in Long-Term cancer survivors: a childhood cancer survivor study report
CONCLUSIONS: Among survivors, sleep problems were more closely related to CHC than diagnosis or treatment history, though longitudinal research is needed to determine the direction of this association. Frequent sleep-promoting medication use suggests interest in managing sleep problems; behavioral sleep intervention is advised for long-term management.PMID:38366608 | DOI:10.1093/jncics/pkae010 (Source: Cancer Control)

Oropharyngeal Stenosis Caused by Significant Scar Hyperplasia Following Tonsillectomy: A Case Report
Ear Nose Throat J. 2024 Feb 15:1455613241233750. doi: 10.1177/01455613241233750. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOropharyngeal stenosis (OPS) is a relatively rare long-term complication of tonsillectomy in children, resulting from the narrowing of the upper aerodigestive tract between the soft palate, pharyngeal sidewalls, and base of the tongue. This is the first reported case of OPS due to significant scar hyperplasia; however, whether it is as prone to recurrence as skin scar hypertrophy remains unknown. In this article, we present the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented to our otolaryngology clinic with sleep snoring...

Physical activity and sleep pattern in relation to incident Parkinson's disease: a cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Both high PA and ideal sleep pattern were independently associated with lower risk of developing PD, and those with both high PA level and ideal sleep pattern had the lowest risk. Our results suggest that improving PA levels and sleep quality may be promising intervention targets for the prevention of PD.PMID:38355565 | PMC:PMC10867998 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-024-01568-9 (Source: Health Physics)

Snoring Survivors: the impact of obstructive sleep apnoea and continuous positive airway pressure use on in-hospital mortality, length of stay and costs among patients hospitalised with acute cardiovascular disease - A retrospective analysis of 2016-2019 National Inpatient Sample Data
Conclusion Our study showed that patients with recognised OSA hospitalised for AMI, ADHF and AFRVR had significantly lower mortality regardless of CPAP use, while CPAP treatment among these patients was associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality and resource utilisation. The routine use of CPAP during acute cardiovascular encounters could neutralise the impact of chronic intermittent ischaemic preconditioning. (Source: BMJ Open)

CPAP resumption after a first termination and impact on all-cause mortality in France
Extract Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep disordered breathing, affecting nearly one billion individuals aged 30–69 years worldwide [1]. OSA is characterised by recurrent complete or partial pharyngeal collapse during sleep, resulting in intermittent hypoxia, intrathoracic pressure swings and arousal from sleep [2, 3]. Symptoms occurring as a direct consequence of OSA include snoring, nonrestorative sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness [2]. In addition, OSA is a risk factor for a variety of cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities, including hypertension, atrial fibrillation and...
