The Outcome of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and strongly linked to obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Besides elevating cardiovascular disease risk, OSA may worsen renal function and diminish quality of life, making its understanding critical for CKD patient health. This study will …
Effect of Adenotonsillectomy on Spinal Curve Magnitude in Children With Sleep-Disordered Breathing
This study aims to determine the effect of adenotonsillectomy (AT) surgery on the progression of spinal curvature in children with mild sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and concurrent scoliosis, as well as its potential role in preventing the de novo development of scoliosis in children with SDB.
Comparison of a Demand Oxygen Delivery
Conducting a randomized control trial of oxygen in children with Down syndrome to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. The aim of the study is to conduct a comparison between the 2 methods of oxygen delivery during sleep in 15 children from Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Children's Hospital of …
EFFECT OF A SUBSTANCE P ANTAGONIST ON THE SECRETION OF ALDOSTERONE IN PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with hyperaldosteronism with elevated plasma aldosterone/renin ratio, the physiopathological mechanism of which remains uncertain. This hyperaldosteronism contributes to the development of arterial hypertension and cardiovascular complications observed in patients with OSA, in particular by increasing arterial stiffness and heart rate variability. The frequent …
Ansa Cervicalis and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation in OSA
Polysomnography (PSG) and drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) are widely used diagnostic studies for assessing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and collapse patterns of the upper airway anatomy during sleep. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea suffers from variable response at the level of the soft palate. The …
Dexmedetomidine Versus Propofol Sedation for Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This research study is designed to learn, first, whether two anesthetics have different effects on collapse seen within the upper airway during sleep endoscopy. A second purpose is to learn whether collapse at several levels of the upper airway is associated with obstructive sleep apnea that persists after adenotonsillectomy, the …
Pharmacological Activation of HMN for OSA Aim 2
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. In this protocol the investigators …
Time Restricted Eating in Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder that is associated with both cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunction, such as hypertension, increased blood glucose levels and diabetes, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the best available OSA treatment, has been shown to improve blood pressure …
Effects of Physical Activity on OSA Severity Based on the Level of Fluid Shift
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by complete or partial upper-airway collapse during sleep associated with sleepiness. OSA causes severe impairments in quality of life (sleepiness, tiredness, concentration difficulties). Moreover, OSA has adverse consequences on the cardiovascular system by causing intermittent hypoxia, increased sympathetic nervous system activation and vascular endothelial …
DISE: Phenotyping Obstruction Patterns
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) represents an opportunity to evaluate the upper airway in sleep-like conditions. In its current clinical form, however, DISE does not routinely determine the functional impact of anatomic and neuromuscular factors on airflow obstruction. The investigators will apply nasal pressure (CPAP) during DISE to generate pressure-flow and …
