Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a well-recognized disorder conventionally
diagnosed with an elevated apnea–hypopnea index. Prolonged partial upper airway …

As a surrogate measure of blood pressure, pulse transit time (PTT) is commonly used in
studies investigating arterial function and respiratory sleep disturbance. A systematic search …

Abstract Study Objectives Over 80% of people with tetraplegia have sleep-disordered
breathing (SDB), but whether this is predominantly obstructive or central is unclear. This …

Purpose Differentiation between obstructive and central apneas and hypopneas requires
quantitative measurement of respiratory effort (RE) using esophageal pressure (PES), which …

Introduction Polysomnography (PSG) is the primary tool for sleep monitoring and the
diagnosis of sleep disorders. Recent advances in signal analysis make it possible to reveal …

Objectives Snoring is a common symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which is
considered to be potential predictors of the obstruction site. Successful treatment of OSA …

Objective To determine the influence of manipulations aimed at increasing the
transdiaphragmatic pressure gradient on the gastro‐esophageal junction (GEJ) of dogs with …

Purpose To study changes in lung function among individuals with a risk of obstructive sleep
apnoea (OSA), and if asthma affected this relationship. Methods We used data from the …

The study aims at assessing the changes in electroencephalography (as measured by the A‐
phases of cyclic alternating pattern) and autonomic activity (based on pulse wave amplitude) …

Heart and respiration rates represent important vital signs for the assessment of a person's
health condition. To estimate these vital signs accurately, we propose a multitask Siamese …
