Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), a state of sleep disorder, is characterized by
repetitive apnea, chronic hypoxia, oxygen desaturation, and hypercapnia. Previous studies …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is common in the general population and increases the risk
of motor vehicle accidents due to hypersomnolence from sleep disruption, and risk of …

The consequences of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are largely mediated by chronic
intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. The primary molecular domains affected are …

Inflammatory cell infiltration and afferent neuropathy have been shown in the upper airway
(UA) mucosa of subjects with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We hypothesized that …

Recent data suggest that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an independent risk
factor for asthma exacerbations. Neuromechanical reflex bronchoconstriction …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) afflicts about 5% of adults in Western countries
and is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders and …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and inflammation are closely related. This study
aimed to evaluate the associations and causal effect between C-reactive protein (CRP) and …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent underdiagnosed disorder whose incidence
increases with age and weight. Uniquely characterised by frequent breathing interruptions …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by repetitive collapse of
the pharyngeal airway during sleep. Control of pharyngeal patency is a complex process …

Background Upper airway edema might contribute to pharyngeal collapsibility and account
for the high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with heart disease. The …
