Filter by:Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a commonly used orthodontic treatment in patients with maxillary constriction to provide skeletal expansion, correct posterior crossbite and resolve naso-respiratory problems by reducing oral respiration.The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effects of tooth-borne, tooth tissue-borne and bone-borne RME appliances on sleep quality with polygraphy. The null hypothesis was that there is no difference for the sleep quality between the appliances.
The purpose of this study is to improve CPAP treatment compliance of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome using an integrated telemedicine platform (MyOSA system)
Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is a frequent pathology burdened with mortality and significant morbidity. Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is frequently associated with CHF in 20% to 75% of cases. Treatment of SAS is however inconsistently associated with a decline in the morbidity and mortality. To date, the CHF medical treatments have been reported to be inconsistently efficient in the treatment of SAS. SACUBITRIL-VALSARTAN (ENTRESTO®) is a new treatment of CHF recently indicated class I, level B in the recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines 2016 on CHF. PARADIGM-HF trial demonstrated that morbidity and mortality can be improved with SACUBITRIL-VALSARTAN. In comparison to enalapril, it reduced the occurrence of cardiovascular death or hospitalisation for CHF by 20% with a 16% reduction in all-cause mortality. The purpose of the research is the evaluation of SACUBITRIL-VALSARTAN combination in CHF patients presenting sleep apnea syndrome. A three months real life observational trial is performed. A measure of the Apnea Hypopnea Index is realised before and after 3 months of SACUBITRIL-VALSARTAN treatment. A concomitant evaluation of cardiological and quality of life parameters is realized.
The main aim of this project is to assess the effect of Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) screening (and treatment if SAS is moderate to severe, defined by an apnea hypopnea index >15 / h) on recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) over a twenty-four month follow-up period, in patients on optimal medical treatment after AF ablation.
Published data indicate that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) worse the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) and that oxidative stress can link this 2 diseases. Investigators hypothesise that oxidative stress decrease after 3 months of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in this specific population. The results may have major implication in the comprehension of physiopathologic processes linking OSAS and CAD and in the treatment of OSAS in this specific population.
Prevalence of sleep apnea syndrome in patients with acromegaly is about 70%. It seems that comorbidities of arterial hypertension or type 2 diabetes are more severe in patients with acromegaly and sleep apnea syndrome. Besides sleep apnea syndrome associated to acromegaly gives rise to few symptoms, that explains it is under diagnosed. The mechanisms of the association are based on maxillofacial modifications linked to acromegaly, a thickening of soft tissues with deposits of glyco-aminoglycanes but probably also because of the associated obesity, of the potential existence of a goiter and a muscular dystrophy of the dilatative muscles of the pharynx. At present, no study clearly documented prevalence of acromegaly in a diagnostic consultation for sleep apnea syndrome.
Sleep apnea (SA) affects more than 4% from general population and is largely underdiagnosed. SA can increase the occurrence of cardiovascular, endocrine and metabolic events (particularly stroke, diabetes & obesity). CPAP is currently the Gold Standard treatment of SA and to prevent these events, with a major clinical benefit, long term adherence to CPAP is a significant problem where a significant rate of rejection and abundance after 6 months of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a work-model in Primary Health Care for identifying patients with Sleep Apnea Syndrome, based on clinical variables and an ambulatory monitoring study.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of telemonitoring versus standard follow-up on CPAP treatment compliance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS).
Study objetives : The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a combined therapy treatment (physical exercise, oropharyngeal exercises and dietary recommendations) on symptoms and quality of life in patients with OSAS, as an alternative or addition to therapeutic treatment with nocturnal CPAP.
