Perioperative Antibiotic Use in Sleep Surgery: Clinical Relevance.
Published in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
Upper airway surgery is a common therapeutic approach recommended for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to decrease disease burden. We aimed to evaluate the effect of perioperative antibiotic prescription on complication rates. Retrospective cohort (national database). Tertiary referral center. This is a retrospective study of a large nat...
Association of obstructive sleep apnea and nocturnal hypoxemia with all-cancer incidence and mortality: a systematic rev...
Published in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
Biological models suggest that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is potentially carcinogenic. We aimed to clarify the inconsistent epidemiological literature by considering various traditional and novel OSA severity indices. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for observational or randomized studies of associatio...
Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in t...
Published in Journal of clinical medicine
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in 20-50% of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is also common in adults with CAD, and may contribute to POAF as well to the reoccurrence of AF in patients at long-term. In the current secondary analysis of the Random...
Comprehensive Analysis of N6-Methyladenosine Regulators in the Subcluster Classification and Drug Candidates Prediction ...
...Published in Frontiers in Genetics
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea that impacts the development or progression of many other disorders. Abnormal expression of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification regulators have been found relating to a variety of human diseases. However, it is not yet known if m6A regulators are involved in the ...
Circadian Rhythm of Salivary Cortisol in Obese Adolescents With and Without Apnea: A Pilot Study
Published in Frontiers in Pediatrics
Background and Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity are associated with stress system activation involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in adults, but these effects in childhood and adolescence remain unclear. We examined diurnal salivary cortisol as a measurement of the HPA axis function in obese adolescents with an...
Sleep Bruxism and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Association, Causality or Spurious Finding? A Scoping Review.
Published in Sleep
To evaluate the available evidence on the putative relationships between sleep bruxism (SB) and, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to assess the extent of research on this topic, and to formulate suggestions for future research. A scoping review including studies examining temporal and overall association and prevalence of SB and OSA was performed. Six...
Clinical Predictors of OSA Treatment Success Following Implantation of a Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Device.
Published in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
To identify prognostic indicators associated with successful hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), focusing on patients' physiologic response to awake tongue protrusion. Retrospective chart review. Tertiary care center. We included consecutive patients with moderate-severe OSA who underwent HGNS implan...
The Ogival Palate: A New Risk Marker of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy?
Published in Frontiers in Pediatrics
Objective Ogival palate (i.e., a narrow and high-arched palate) is usually described in obstructive breath disorder but has been found in infants unexpectedly deceased. We studied the association between ogival palate and sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) on the basis of a computed tomography (CT) evaluation. Methods We conducted a monocent...
Serum Proteomic Analysis by Tandem Mass Tag-Based Quantitative Proteomics in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Published in Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequent respiratory disorder with an estimated prevalence of 3–6% in the general population. However, the underlying pathophysiology of OSA remains unclear. Recently, proteomic analysis using high-resolution and high-throughput mass spectrometry has been widely used in the field of medical sciences. In ...
