OBJECTIVE
Snoring increases with increasing age and body mass, and repeated periods of hypoxia cause nocturnal polyuria. Accordingly, we examined the occurrence of snoring problems in patients scheduled for transurethral prostatic resection.
METHODS
Of 171 men scheduled for TUR-P, 41 were excluded
Objective: The objective of this work was to make a review of urinary tract symptoms and erectile dysfunction involved in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) but also to study their physiopathology and potential treatments.
BACKGROUND
Accelerated radiotherapy combined with carbogen and nicotinamide (ARCON) to overcome tumor hypoxia and cell proliferation achieved high tumor control and survival in Phase II studies of patients with advanced head and neck and bladder carcinomas. Thus, morbidity and treatment outcomes
CONCLUSIONS
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in children with hypoxemia might influence the nocturnal secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) that is associated with polyuria, even nocturia.
OBJECTIVE
The impact of OSAHS on the secretion levels of ADH was studied in pediatric
Even if different mechanisms of various interactions during sleep are known, it is still unsolved by which mechanisms physiological reactions during sleep may start a pathophysiological course. Hypoxia, Hypercapnia and repetitive sympathetic elevations are well known elements in the control of the
Obstructive sleep apnoea may be accompanied by various cardiovascular consequences resulting from alteration of the activity of the autonomous nervous system. These changes are mediated by: a--hypoxemia developing during the apnoea, b--severe hypoxemia, hypercapnia and acidosis in postapnoea,
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to assess Vitamin D (VD) abnormalities in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), to study its association with clinical and polygraphic data, and to correlate VD levels with interleukin-17 (IL-17).
METHODS
Ninety-two patients with severe OSAHS were
Nocturnal renal function was examined in 8 patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and the effects of nasal CPAP (NCPAP) on renal function were also studied. Nocturia was observed more than twice in all cases when no treatment was performed, but it disappeared after initiation of
1. The kidneys are the key organs to maintain the balance of the different electrolytes in the body and the acid-base balance. Progressive loss of kidney function results in a number of adaptive and compensatory renal and extrarenal changes that allow homeostasis to be maintained with glomerular
Purpose: We aimed to determine the potential relationship between atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) score, which equates to 10-year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events, and functional bladder capacity (FBC) among
OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the presence of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome, nocturia, urgency, and urge incontinence in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and measure bladder wall thickness (BWT) in these patients.
METHODS
The patient
