The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term repeatability Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) in patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea and determine whether transitory sleepiness patient influenced ESS results.Adult participants taking part a on diagnostic accuracy repeated studies were eligible. For assessment repeatability, agreement between 2 sequential scores obtained within 1 day (same-day group) or different days week (same-week evaluated. By analyzing within-day...
To evaluate the clinical implementation of pharmacotherapy recommendations for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) based on Global Initiative lung (GOLD) guidelines, in a longitudinal setting.This is sub-analysis prospective, non-interventional cohort study including patients with confirmed mild-to-very-severe COPD from seven outpatient clinics Switzerland. Follow-up visits took place annually up to 7 years, October 2010 until December 2016. For each visit, we evaluated compliance...
Both inflammatory and remodelling processes are associated with irreversible airway obstruction observed in severe asthma. Our aim was to characterize a group of asthmatic patients or without persistent relation specific sputum biomarkers.Forty-five under regular high-dose inhaled corticosteroid/ß-2agonist treatment were studied, after follow-up period at least 2 years, minimum 4 visits. Periostin, TGF-ß, RANTES, IL-8, GM-CSF, FGF-2, cell counts measured induced sputum. Serum periostin also...
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) results in sympathetic overdrive. Increased nocturnal heart rate variability (HRV) is a surrogate marker of autonomic disturbance. The aim was to study the association apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI), hypoxaemia, and fragmentation with HRV address pathophysiological mechanisms underlying disturbance OSA.Participants Sleep Hearth Health Study available data on an AHI ≥10/h have been included this cross-sectional analysis. main outcome interest fragmentation, HRV....
In this article, we provide a brief description of the @EuroRespSoc 2023 Lung Science Conference and Sleep Breathing https://bit.ly/3WsCzj6
During the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2022 in Barcelona, Spain, latest research and clinical topics respiratory medicine were presented. The sleep medicine-focused presentations symposia provided novel insights into pathophysiology of disordered breathing, its diagnostics, new trends translational applications. presented focused mainly on assessment breathing-related intermittent hypoxia, inflammation fragmentation, their implications, especially...
The topic of sleep-related breathing disorders is always evolving, and during the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2023 in Milan, Italy, latest research clinical topics respiratory medicine were presented. most interesting issues included new diagnostic tools, such as cardiovascular parameters artificial intelligence, pathophysiological traits sleep disordered from routine polysomnography or polygraphy signals, biomarkers approach patients with excessive daytime...
Reliable detection of sleep positions is essential for the development technical aids patients with position-dependent sleep-related breathing disorders. We compare personalized and generalizable sleeping position classifiers using unobtrusive eight-channel pressure-sensing mats. Data six male confirmed apnea was recorded during three subsequent nights. Personalized trained leave-one-night-out cross-validation on average reached an F1-score 61.3% supine/non-supine 46.2%...
Lung transplant is the ultimate treatment of many end-stage lung diseases. Calcineurin inhibitors, crucial in immunosuppression for recipients, are linked to secondary hypertension, necessitating antihypertensive treatment. In addition, recipients frequently experience orthostatic hypotension, occasionally stemming from autonomic dysfunction, but also commonly attributed as a negative side effect Our study aimed evaluate frequency blood pressure irregularities and investigate involvement...
