Increased BMI in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea After CPAP Treatment
In patients with obstructive sleep apnea, BMI values increased significantly following CPAP therapy.
OSA
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associated With Specific Indicators of Aging
Obstructive sleep apnea in young patients results in pathophysiologic changes associated with aging.
Solriamfetol Improves Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Solriamfetol, a dopamine-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, improves excessive daytime sleepiness in OSA regardless of primary OSA therapy adherence.
Modified High-Risk OSA May Increase Risk of Clinical Worsening in COVID-19
Patients with COVID-19 who have modified high-risk obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk for delayed clinical improvement compared with patients who have modified low-risk OSA.
Preventive Screenings in Lung Cancer, Sleep Medicine Decrease During COVID-19
Along with a wide range of elective medical services affected by the COVID-19 crisis, pulmonary screenings decreased substantially, especially in the early months of the pandemic.
Mild Cognitive Impairment Prevalence in Patients With Suspected OSA
A high prevalence of mild cognitive impairment has been reported in patients referred to sleep clinics for suspected obstructive sleep apnea.
Pitolisant as Adjunct Therapy to CPAP May Decrease Daytime Sleepiness in OSA
In patients with obstructive sleep apnea with residual sleepiness, the use of pitolisant as an adjunct to CPAP therapy significantly decreases subjective and objective sleepiness.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Risk in Generalized vs Focal Epilepsy
Researchers found unadjusted mean Sleep Apnea Scale of the Sleep Disorders Questionnaire scores, as well as scores high enough to represent likely OSA, were similar in patients with generalized vs focal epilepsy.
CPAP Therapy Does Not Appear to Improve Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in OSA
The use of CPAP alone does not appear to improve hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and obstructive sleep apnea.
