Filter by:Changes in epigenetic regulation of genes involved in systemic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction in OSA are linked with accelerated cardiovascular morbidity.
The purpose of this study is to explore long-term prognosis and to identify the predictors in Taiwanese OSA patients. Validation of the prediction model derived from NHIRD with the database of National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) sleep center is planed to determine the effects of different treatments on long-term prognosis.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect on blood pressure of 3 months of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Hypothesis: 1. Central 24-h blood pressure (BP) monitoring hedges day fluctuations in blood pressure more accurately than peripheral 24-h BP monitoring, because the measurement is painless and does not interfere with the patient / subject's activities during the daytime or nighttime sleep. 2. Blood pressure is elevated in patients with OSA and falls during treatment with CPAP. 3. The renal treatment of salt and water is abnormal in OSA, improved during treatment with CPAP. 4. Quality of life improves during treatment with CPAP
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet (KD) treatment of (i) obesity, (ii) type 2 diabetes mellitus and (iii) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with obesity and Type 2 DM and in patients with obesity and/or OSA. This will be a randomized, open-label three arm controlled study comparing weight loss in obese participants with type 2 diabetes and/or obstructive sleep apnea treated for 9 months with 3:1 [fat]:[protein+carbohydrate] ratio, 1600 kcal/day diet (Group A) with weight loss in participants treated with orlistat 120 mg TID and lifestyle intervention consisting of dietary advice, recommended caloric goal of 1600 kcal/day (Group B), and in participants treated with only lifestyle intervention consisting of dietary advice, recommended caloric goal of 1600 kcal/day (Group C).
Investigators hypothesize that CPAP treatment for suppressing OSAS in combination with a physical activity program will optimize 24-hour blood pressure control in patients with OSA-related resistant hypertension.
The growing evidence showed that the OSA is a heritable complex genetic disease where the genetic basis contributed the development of OSA and its sequel. The phenotyping of OSA include high level and intermediate level. The former indicates the AHI, and later includes craniofacial morphology, ventilator control, obesity, and sleepiness vulnerability. Many studies tried to determine the association of candidate genes with OSA through association studies. However, the results were conflicting. We identified 37 candidate genes involved in six biologic pathways of OSA reported in previous literatures, including oxidative phosphorylation, cell signaling, apoptosis, cellular adhesion and motility, cell cycle, and cytokine/chemokine. To investigate the association between phenotype and genotype of OSA, we conducted this cross-sectional study by recruiting the patients of moderate-severe OSA (index proband) and their first and second-degree family members, and friends and their family members (control family) and using candidate genes reported in the literature and whole genome SNP array for genotype approach.
Ischemic stroke is a kind of common disease with great harm. In acute stage of stroke there is sharply increasing morbidity of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. Our suppose that treatment with noninvasive ventilation for patients with acute ischemic stroke should improve the functional prognosis（measuring with 90d modified Rankin score）.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common clinical problem with a reported prevalence of 2% to 4% in the general population. The incidence was double on patients who had a diagnosis of OSA going for orthopedics surgery. Little literature composed mostly of case reports or small retrospective case-control studies exist examining the use of intrathecal opioids on outcomes in OSA patients is inconclusive. The primary objective of this study is to compare the post operative respiratory effect after single dose intrathecal morphine and intrathecal fentanyl on orthopedics patients who suspected or undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. Hypotheses Undiagnosed OSA patients who received intrathecal morphine are more likely to have respiratory events post-operatively.
The SIESTA Home Sleep Study is a pragmatic, multi-centre randomized single-blinded two arm trial, assisted by a Decision Analytic Model, primarily designed to assess the accuracy, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of diagnosing OSA assisted by ApneaDx™ as compared to PSG as a reference standard.
This is a study to investigate the incidence of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Patient undergoing open heart Surgery . This will include enrolment of 400 patient undergoing open heart surgery .
