Filter by:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and overlap syndrome are associated with obstructions in breathing and disturbed sleep. Chronic breathing disruptions and poor sleep may lead to cognitive impairment and brain changes linked with early neurodegenerative processes. As such, identifying early markers of cognitive impairment and dementia risk in individuals with chronic respiratory and sleep breathing disorders is crucial for understanding how these diseases may contribute to accelerated brain ageing. This study will comprehensively measure sleep, lung function, cognitive performance and blood-based markers of dementia risk and inflammation. The investigators will use innovative technologies to identify biomarkers of cognitive impairment and dementia risk in people with chronic sleep and breathing disorders. The investigators will also investigate the relationships between disrupted sleep and abnormal breathing and the brain. This research may also inform future early interventions to improve cognition and brain health in chronic sleep and respiratory disease.
This is a pre-marketing, single-centre, prospective clinical trial with the aim of comparison the effectiveness and safety of the SOUNDI medical device compared to polysomnography in detecting parameters for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome in subjects with suspected diagnosis of sleep disorders.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to test combination of STOP-Bang score and factors predicting difficult intubation can improve accuracy of prediction difficult mask ventilation in obese patients that undergoing to elective surgery under general anesthesia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Can combination of STOP-Bang score and factors predicting difficult intubation improve accuracy of prediction difficult mask ventilation in obese patients? - Study about complication after endotracheal tube insertion in obese patients that undergoing to elective surgery under general anesthesia. Participants who undergoing to elective surgery under general anesthesia will - Routine preoperative evaluation and ask about STOP bang questions, evaluate neck circumference, Mallampati grade,Thyromental distance (That routine physical examination for anesthetic care pre-operation) - In operation room, patients will be inducted anesthesia by anesthesiologist (step routine for general anesthesia),observe difficult mask ventilation grading before intubate endotracheal tube and complication after endotracheal tube insertion. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare obese patients with/without high STOP bang score >=3 point plus factor predicting difficult intubation (Mallampati grade 3-4, Neck circumference > 42 cm, Thyromental distance < 6 cm)to prediction difficult mask ventilation
The objective of this study is to simultaneously acquire sleep and breathing data using the under-mattress Sleeptracker (The Sleeptracker-AI Monitor (Fullpower Technologies, California, USA) during routine PSGs in patients who attend the Woolcock Institute for undergoing investigation for possible obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
the study aims to evaluate the accuracy correlation between subjective perception of the air flow through airways from patients and survey and/or polysomnography they spent, using a brief clinical protocol they answered with a manual therapist
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder that has major consequences for cardiovascular health, neurocognitive function, risk of traffic accidents, daytime sleepiness, and quality of life. For years, a "classic" model of OSA has been used to describe the disorder, which fails to capture it's complexity. Recently, a model for OSA called drive-dependent OSA was discovered be more prevalent in the OSA population. The drive-dependent subgroup benefits exclusively from increased ventilation, increased dilator muscle activity, and reduced event risk when drive spontaneously rises. This study seeks to provide direct evidence that reducing the loss of drive prevents the loss of ventilation, pharyngeal muscle activity, and thus the onset of OSA respiratory events, specifically in "drive-dependent" but not "classic" OSA. This will be achieved using CO2 delivered at precise times during breaths in sleep to prevent loss of overall ventilatory drive.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder that has major consequences for cardiovascular health, neurocognitive function, risk of traffic accidents, daytime sleepiness, and quality of life. For years, a "classic" model of OSA has been used to describe the disorder, which fails to capture it's complexity. Recently, a model for OSA called drive-dependent OSA was discovered be more prevalent in the OSA population. This drive-dependent OSA is due to ventilation instability that occurs during respiratory events however these individuals have spontaneous increases in drive during respiratory events that stabilize their airway (i.e., via improving upper airway muscle activity) and reduce the risk of respiratory events in people with OSA. Therefore, by stabilizing the ventilatory drive, OSA should be treatable. Acetazolamide is a pharmacological ventilatory stimulant and has been previously shown to reduce OSA severity. As such in this study, the goal is to demonstrate acetazolamide improves OSA severity in 'drive-dependent' OSA people by improving drive-related pharyngeal obstructions compared to the 'classic' OSA people.

This prospective, controlled study will compare the 3D cephalometric analysis of bone and craniofacial soft tissues in young (18-35 years) non-overweight apneic adults phenotype between a test group (with AHI 15) and a control group (healthy subjects with AHI < 15).
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious and often underreported condition, despite its highly prevalent distribution. Medical teams play an integral role in screening and managing patients with a high risk of developing OSA.
