Clinical Study on the Effect of CPAP on AF Recurrence After Catheter Ablation in Patients with AF and OSA
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice, significantly increasing the risks of death, stroke, heart failure, cognitive impairment, and dementia, thus severely impacting patients' quality of life. However, for AF patients with concomitant cardiovascular risk factors, particularly those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the success …
Motor Plasticity, Intermittent Hypoxia and Sleep Apnea
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effect of sleep apnea and low oxygen on muscle strength and lung function in people with chronic spinal cord injury.
Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety Profile of Understudied Drugs Administered to Children Per Standard of Care (POPS)
The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to …
Changes in Body Fat and Morphologic Characteristics Associated With OSA Resolution After Bariatric Surgery
Prospective study with inclusion of bariatric surgery candidates with diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea and requiring treatment with Continuous Positive Air Pressure, aiming to evaluate at 2-6-12 months after bariatric surgery whether the relationship between biometric changes (reduction in neck circumference, height, waist/hip ratio, and fat and lean mass) and the …
Novel Inhibitors of Lipolysis in the Treatment of Lipid a Glucose Metabolism in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) represents highly prevalent (typically overlooked, undiagnosed and untreated) disorder significantly increasing cardiovascular, cancer and overall mortality as well as increasing the risk of Type 2 diabetes and liver steatohepatitis. Unfortunately, adherence to state-of-the-art therapy with continuous positive airway pressure devices (CPAP) is poorly tolerated by …
Lifestyle Program for Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Severe Obesity
The purpose of this study is to develop a data driven system for persons with severe obesity sleep apnea that utilizes remote monitoring with health coaching to create behavior changes aimed at improving health and quality of life.
Comparing the Side-lying Sleep Positioning to Back-lying in Infants With Cleft Palate
The craniofacial abnormalities found in infants and children with cleft palate (CP) lead to increased risk of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). In children and adults sleep position is known to influence the patency of the airway during sleep. Altering sleep position in infants with CP may offer a 'low-cost, high …
Multi-morbidity Screening in People With Type 2 Diabetes and Pre Diabetes
People with type 2 diabetes are at risk of complications linked with high blood sugars and these are monitored for in healthcare appointments. However, people with type 2 diabetes commonly suffer with additional health conditions that can affect the liver, heart and their breathing while sleeping. These conditions are thought …
Obesity and OSA in Pregnancy
The purposes of this project are 1) to compare the impact of maternal obesity versus excessive gestational weight gain on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in obese and non-obese women; 2) to investigate the mechanism(s) by which obesity and OSA increase cardiovascular risk during pregnancy; and 3) to identify biomarker(s) for …
Pathophysiology of Hypoventilation in Obesity and Effects of Bariatric Intervention
Breathing is impacted by obesity. Early changes are characterised by significant breathing abnormalities during sleep (a condition called sleep disordered breathing, the most common of which is obstructive sleep apnoea). As the breathing changes worsen in severity, it may result in a rise in carbon dioxide levels during daytime causing …
