Abstract Study Objectives Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases the risk of cognitive impairment. Measures microarchitecture from EEG may help identify patients at this complication. Methods Participants with suspected OSA (n = 1142) underwent in-laboratory polysomnography and completed medical history questionnaires, tests global cognition (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA), memory (Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, RAVLT) information processing speed (Digit–Symbol Coding, DSC)....
Abstract Study Objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern and major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may exacerbate this by contributing to the development of CKD. This study investigated prevalence patient awareness CKD progression in individuals with OSA. Methods Adults referred five Canadian academic centers suspected OSA completed questionnaire, home test or in-lab polysomnography provided blood urine samples...
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is present in most colorectal cancers (CRC) associated with hereditary nonpolyposis cancer (HNPCC). MSI testing so-called sporadic forms of CRC may become a useful tool identifying new HNPCC kindred. The aim this study was to analyse the utility BAT-26 as marker identify CRCs and investigate whether have phenotypic expression similar cases. detected using two methods, an association 7 poly(CA) repeats poly(A) repeat alone, BAT-26, series 62 patients...
Abstract Study Objectives Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), fragmentation, and short duration (SD) have been associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, these potential mechanisms for CKD not compared in the same cohort. This study investigated independent combined impact of OSA insomnia on risk progression a clinic population. Methods In cross-sectional design, adults suspected completed an overnight questionnaire that included Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality...
Colorectal tumors with microsatellite instability (MSI) that do not comply previously defined clinical criteria may be found in recently diagnosed hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma families. Until recently, the indications for MSI testing were clearly established. The objective of current study was to validate published Bethesda guidelines a series patients apparently sporadic forms (CRC).Sixty-two so-called CRC included study. analyzed at seven poly(CA) repeat sequences and one...
ABSTRACT : Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with worse outcomes in stroke, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s (PD), but diagnosis challenging these groups. We aimed to compare the prevalence of high risk OSA based on commonly used questionnaires self-reported diagnosis: 1. within groups AD, PD general population (GP); 2. Between neurological GP. Methods: Individuals AD were identified Canadian Longitudinal Study Aging (CLSA) by survey. STOP, STOP-BAG, STOP-B28...
