BACKGROUND
The simultaneous occurrence of metabolic syndrome and excessive daytime sleepiness are very common in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Both conditions, if present in OSA, have been reported to be associated with inflammation and disruption of oxidative stress balance that impair
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is one of the most frequent symptoms in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, not all patients with OSAS manifest EDS. The aim of this study was to assess whether differential circulatory levels of inflammatory mediators would account for
BACKGROUND
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with a variety of long-term consequences such as high rates of morbidity and mortality, due to excessive diurnal somnolence as well as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Obesity, recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction,
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a ubiquitous problem that affects public health and safety. A test that can reliably identify individuals that suffer from EDS is needed. In contrast to other methods, salivary biomarkers are an objective, inexpensive, and noninvasive method to identify
BACKGROUND
In obese adults, sleep apnea is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cardiometabolic risk factors. In children, on the other hand, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is primarily associated with anatomic abnormalities and neurocognitive impairment, whereas studies on
Aim: Elderly multimorbid care home dwellers are a heterogenic group of frail individuals that exhibit sleep disturbances and a range of co-morbidities. The project aimed to study the possible effect of indoor circadian-adjusted
OBJECTIVE
Subjective versus objective sleepiness in heart failure (HF) remains understudied; therefore, we sought to examine the association of these measures and interrelationships with biochemical markers.
METHODS
Participants with stable systolic HF recruited from a clinic-based program underwent
In obese males obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with inflammation and insulin resistance; however, findings are confounded by adipose tissue, a hormone- and cytokine-secreting organ. Our goal was to examine whether in a relatively nonobese population, OSA is associated with sleepiness
There is emerging evidence suggesting that disturbances in sleep and sleep disorders play a role in the morbidity of chronic conditions including obesity and hypertension as well as in the development of type-2 diabetes. This brief review examines the role of inflammation in the development of
OBJECTIVE
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a key symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) has been suggested as an objective easy-to-use, inexpensive alternative to the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) to measure EDS. In patients with OSA, physiological
Total sleep restriction in humans is associated with increased daytime sleepiness, decreased performance, and hormonal/metabolic disturbances. The effects of mild chronic sleep restriction that mimic real life are not known. To assess the effects of modest sleep restriction from 8 to 6 h/night for 1
OBJECTIVE
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), characterized by intermittent hypoxia/reoxygenation (IHR), is often associated with changing levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines and causes excessive daytime sleepiness, mood disturbances, and cardiovascular disease. An abnormal rhythm in
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this prospective cross sectional study was to assess the prevalence of sleep disturbance in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including the relationships between sleep, inflammatory markers, and disease activity of pediatric patients with IBD.
METHODS
Pediatric IBD
OBJECTIVE
Excessive daytime sleepiness is a common symptom in obese patients, but what drives this condition is unclear. The objective was to look for clinical, anthropometric, biochemical, and polysomnographic predictors of excessive daytime sleepiness as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale
Infections and injury are often accompanied by the production of large quantities of proinflammatory mediators such as cytokines and eicosanoids. These substances have been shown to efficiently activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) system. The glucocorticoid hormones secreted from
