Despite evidence of a relationship among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), metabolic dysregulation, and diabetes, it is uncertain whether OSA treatment can improve parameters. We sought to determine effects long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on glycemic control diabetes risk in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) OSA.Blood, medical history, personal data were collected substudy 888 participants the Sleep Apnea cardioVascular Endpoints (SAVE) trial which stable CVD...

Background: Post-operative delirium (POD) is a common and serious clinical condition that occurs following anesthesia/surgery. While its impact well recognized, the underlying electrophysiological mechanisms remain largely unknown, posing challenges for effective treatment. This study aims to investigate hippocampal neural dynamics before after anesthesia/surgery in aged mice, which have tendency of developing POD. Methods: included adult mice with POD model. POD-like behavior was assessed N...

Upper airway collapse does not occur during wake in obstructive sleep apnea patients. This points to wake-related compensatory mechanisms, and possibly a modified corticomotor control of upper dilator muscles. The objectives the study were characterize responsiveness genioglossus transcranial magnetic stimulation respiratory non-respiratory facilitatory maneuvers patients, compare it diaphragm, with reference normal controls.Motor evoked potentials corresponding motor thresholds, recorded...

During wakefulness, the electromyography (EMG) activities of upper airway dilator muscles are higher in OSA syndrome (OSAS) patients than those normal subjects. This is believed to be related central compensatory mechanisms. study aimed assess motor conductivity genioglossus (GG) during wakefulness and evaluate site OSAS patients.Twelve 12 subjects were recruited record evoked potential (MEP) GG transcranial magnetic stimulation applied at dominant-sided anterolateral area response third...

BACKGROUND:Little information exists regarding the best anesthesia method for emergency cerclage.This single-center study aimed to compare outcomes following general and spinal during cervical cerclage in women second trimester of a singleton pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS:A total 297 pregnant patients were recruited: 141 assigned group 156 group. Periprocedural data obstetric recorded statistically analyzed. RESULTS:Average duration procedure was shorter than (25.78±9.4 min versus...

Purpose: Tongue strength training (TST) has been shown to decrease the apnea-hypopnea index in some patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, whether TST modulates central regulation of genioglossus and influences stability upper airway remains unknown. The purpose this study was dynamically assess effect on airway. Methods: Sixteen adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were studied explore mechanism improving function. randomly assigned normal control (NC) groups. group underwent...
