weight loss/hypoxia

Background and project rationale: Cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common lethal inherited disease in Caucasian populations, affects approximately 1:2500 live births. It is a multisystem disorder with respiratory morbidity and mortality being the leading cause of death. Despite improved survival in

Weight loss is a common factor reported in lowlanders traveling to high altitudes. Although the exact cause is unknown, studies have shown that weight loss at high altitude is associated with the amount of time and severity of the altitude exposure. Upon arrival to high altitude (≥ 5000 feet),

Sleep-related breathing disorders (SBAS), particularly obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), are one of the most common causes of non-restorative sleep. Disturbances of sleep disorders include apneas and hypopneas associated with either or not pharyngeal obstruction and hypoventilation. Depending

The patients who admit the palliative care outpatient clinic of our hospital with the diagnosis of lung cancer (stage 3 and stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer or limited / extensive stage small cell lung cancer) between July 2019-2020 prior to the treatment and the patient who has not yet completed

Obesity is a chronic disease that affects quality and duration of life negatively. It is one of the most important health problem in the world along with very common in Turkey. Initially, obesity was considered the problem of developed countries but it has become inevitable with increase income

Obstructive sleep apnea is defined as a repetitive collapse of the pharynx during sleep (Malhotra, et al. 2012) which cases intermittent hypoxia. Snoring, witnessed apnea, fatigue and morning headache are symptoms of the disease which has severe health effect (Malhotra. et al. 2012) including

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition characterized by temporary diminutions or cessations of breathing caused by repetitive collapse of the upper airway (UA) during sleep (1). OSA is a common disorder associated with abnormalities in pharyngeal anatomy and physiology in which the muscles of

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder that exposes the individual to repeated periods of hypoxia and awakenings during sleep. OSA occurs in up to one third of the population, constituting a public health problem. The prevalence of sleep apnea increases with age, reaching up to 90%. Its

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent complete or partial interruptions of breathing during sleep due to obstruction of the upper airways, which leads to disturbances in gas exchange, hypoxia and consequent arousals. Beyond its adverse impact on sleep

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

Statement of the Problem: In Canada, child and adolescent obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) of >95th percentile for age and gender1 represents one of the most common conditions effecting children in Canada with an obesity rate of 10% in 12-17 year old children, which currently equates to

A loss of body weight has been documented in lowland-living individuals when exposed to hypoxic environments, such as at high altitudes, or under laboratory conditions. This weight loss has been attributed both to a reduced appetite (and subsequent fall in dietary energy intake), and to an increase

Hypoxic training embraces different methods as "live high - train high" (LHTH) and "live high - train low" (LHTL); sleeping at altitude to gain the hematologic adaptations (increased erythrocyte volume) but training at sea level to maximize performance (maintenance of sea level training intensity
