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.
Surgery May Be Viable Option for Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Combined palatal and tongue surgery reduces the number of apnea and hypopnea events in adults with obstructive sleep apnea for whom conventional therapy has failed.
Acetazolamide May Improve AHI in Obstructive and Central Sleep Apnea
Patients with obstructive or central sleep apnea experienced improvements in apnea-hypopnea index following treatment with acetazolamide.
OSA Severity Reduced in Type 2 Diabetes With Lifestyle Interventions for Weight Loss
The use of intensive lifestyle intervention for weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes has been shown to reduce the overall severity of obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea as a Potential Risk Factor for COVID-19: Expert Interview
Obstructive sleep apnea may represent another important variable contributing to increased risk related to COVID-19.
OSA Severity and CPAP Outcomes
Continuous positive airway pressure was effective for preventing cardiovascular disease in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Sleep-Disordered Breathing Associated With Impairments in Free Fatty Acid Metabolism
