Computerized respiratory sound analysis has recently captured the attention of researchers,
and its implementation can assist physicians in the diagnosis of pulmonary pathologies. The …

Abstract Study Objectives Interventions that decrease leg fluid retention reduce obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) severity in nonrandomized experiments. We aimed to investigate in a …

Monitoring variations in the upper airway narrowing during sleep is invasive and expensive.
Since snoring sounds are generated by air turbulence and vibrations of the upper airway …

Rostral fluid shift during sleep from the lower body part into the neck can increase neck
circumference (NC) and narrow the upper airway. Such narrowing in the upper airway may …

When lying supine, fluid shifts rostrally from the legs and accumulates in the neck, which is a
risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea. The objective of this study was to model neck fluid …

Obstructive Sleep apnea can be caused by fluid shift from the legs to the neck that narrows
the upper airway (UA) and contributes to changes in tracheal sound. Tracheal sound is …

Fluid accumulation in the neck due to rostral fluid shift during sleep can increase the tissue
content surrounding the upper airway and worsen the severity of obstructive sleep apnea …

Introdução: A patogênese da apneia obstrutiva do sono envolve estreitamento da faringe
causado por deslocamento de líquido das pernas para o pescoço durante a noite. Objetivo …

Afully supervised, in-laboratory sleep study is considered to be the reference-standard for
diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and has, since a long time, been utilised as a …

When lying supine, fluid shifts rostrally from the legs and accumulates in the neck, which is a
