Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping.
Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Snoring can cause significant psychological and social problems to
Background
Acute chest pain triage in the Emergency Department (ED) may prove challenging, since similar symptoms can reveal both mild or life-threatening disorders, and the clinical presentation itself is known not to be reliable for evaluating the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) .
The first
The dogma over the past 3 decades, particularly in the field of sleep medicine, has been that intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a detrimental stimulus that leads to a number of co‐morbidities including autonomic (e.g. increased sympathetic nervous system activity), cardiovascular (e.g. hypertension,
Pre-eclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure ⩾140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ⩾90 mmHg) and proteinuria (300 mg or greater in a 24 h urine specimen and/or protein to creatinine ratio of > 0.30) . The disorder usually occurs after 20
Obesity is associated with numerous metabolic complications including Type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and several forms of cancer. However, the presence of these obesity-related metabolic abnormalities varies among obese individuals. The phenotype
UPDATED May 2016:
Originally the study design included investigation of the effects of the bioactive compound resveratrol compared to placebo tablets and to CPAP treatment. Due to fewer subjects having OSA than estimated by pre-study and, therefore, difficulties in the recruiting process the
Obesity is currently one of the most serious public health problems. Its prevalence is increasing sharply in recent decades, even in developing countries, leading to global epidemiology condition. Metabolic syndrome (MS) consists of an association of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders including
Research over the last decade has shown that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition in people with diabetes. Observational and experimental evidence also indicates that intermittent hypoxemia and recurrent arousals in OSA may alter glucose metabolism and worsen glycemic control.
Participate can subjects aged 40-70 years with metabolic syndrome according to the definition of AHA/NHLBI and IDF 2009 after declaring orally and written consent and if they authorize to process personal and sanitary data. The study involve 80 subjects with metabolic syndrome. They will be
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common disease with a well-established link to obesity and is increasingly prevalent with the concurrent rise in obesity. NAFLD constitutes a disease spectrum from steatosis to cirrhosis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The
The obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAS), with an estimated prevalence of between 2 and 4% (1) is characterized by repetitive obstructions of the upper airway that generate intermittent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation. The typical clinical profile of the apneic patient is an middle
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which there is collapse of the upper airway during sleep, as a result of which there is a decrease or complete cessation of airflow. This leads to repeated episodes of hypoxia during sleep and sleep fragmentation. OSA is a highly prevalent though
The number of patients arriving each year at the stage of final renal insufficiency (IRT) and requiring the dialysis of substitution does not cease growing, in parallel with continuous ageing of the population in industrialized countries. The incidence of the IRT is approximately 110 new patients
The metabolic syndrome has been defined as insulin resistance, central obesity, systemic hypertension and dyslipidemia and is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea (OSAH) is also associated with increased CV risk and insulin resistance. Since OSAH is
