Nasal surgery associated with improvements in quality of life for those with sleep apnea
Nasal surgery to remove obstructions from the airway is associated with improvements in quality of life for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and symptoms of nasal blockages. view more (2008-04-22)
No difference in sleep of OSA patients studied in a hospital vs. a hotel-based sleep center
A study published in the April 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (JCSM) finds no significant difference in sleep parameters associated with the first-night effect in patients undergoing sleep studies in a hotel and a hospital-based sleep laboratory. view more (2008-04-15)
Improved diet and exercise alone unlikely to cure obstructive sleep apnea in obese patients
A study in the Oct. 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that while a strict diet and exercise program may benefit obese patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it is unlikely to eliminate the condition. view more (2009-10-15)
Can Snoring Ruin a Marriage?
The husband snores. The wife nudges him to flip over. Both wake up feeling grouchy the next morning. It's a common occurrence that may have more of an impact on the marriage than most couples think. view more (2006-02-02)
Arousal frequency in heart failure found to be a unique sleep problem
A study in the Jan. 1 issue of the journal Sleep demonstrates that the frequent arousals from sleep that occur in heart failure patients with central sleep apnea (CSA) may reflect the presence of another underlying arousal disorder rather than being a defensive mechanism to terminate apneas. view more (2009-01-05)
Link between a sleep-related breathing disorder and increased heart rate variability
A sleep-related breathing disorder, common in heart failure, increases one's heart rate variability. Further, central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) produce different patterns of heart rate variability, which are likely to reflect the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved. view more (2007-11-01)
Neurological effects of childhood sleep apnea
In this study, Ann Halbower and colleagues from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine looked at 19 children aged 6-16 y with OSA and compared them with 12 healthy controls. view more (2006-08-22)
Didgeridoo playing improves your sleep
Regular didgeridoo playing reduces snoring and daytime sleepiness, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2005-12-23)
Study suggests that inflammation may be the link between extreme sleep durations and poor health
A study in the Feb. 1 issue of the journal SLEEP shows that sleep duration is associated with changes in the levels of specific cytokines that are important in regulating inflammation. The results suggest that inflammation may be the pathway linking extreme sleep durations to an increased risk for disease. view more (2009-02-02)
Researchers look to the brain to explain gender differences in sleep apnea
The neural pathways between two areas of the brain that control the tongue - and their interactions with each other - may hold the key as to why men suffer sleep apnea much more than women. view more (2006-04-04)
Surgery is an option for some patients hoping to get a good night's rest
According to research recently published by an Oregon Health & Science University scientist, a form of surgery called uvopalatopharyngoplasty is effective for treating certain patients who suffer from sleep apnea, one of the most common sleep disorders. view more (2009-10-09)
Older men with breathing problems during sleep more likely to have irregular heartbeats
Increasingly severe sleep-related breathing disorders in older men appear to be associated with a greater risk of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). view more (2009-06-23)
New light on link between snoring and cognitive deficits in children
About two-thirds of children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)- snoring or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)- have some degree of cognitive deficit, but the severity of the cognitive deficit has been notoriously difficult to correlate to the severity of the SDB. view more (2008-10-07)
Severe sleep apnea may be a risk factor for liver damage
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are obese and therefore at risk of having fatty liver, a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver cells. But the link between OSA and liver injury independent of weight has yet to be examined. view more (2005-05-25)
Biomarker of breathing control abnormality associated with hypertension and stroke
A study in the July 1 issue of the journal SLEEP identified a distinct ECG-derived spectrographic phenotype, designated as narrow-band elevated low frequency coupling (e-LFCNB), that is associated with prevalent hypertension, stroke, greater severity of sleep disordered breathing and sleep fragmentation in patients suffering from obstructive sleep... view more...

People with obstructive sleep apnea at risk for cardiac stress on airline flights
People with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on commercial airline flights may have a greater risk of adverse events from cardiac stress than healthy people. view more (2008-05-19)
JCSM: A high frequency of sleep-related breathing disorders in hospitalized patients
There is a high frequency of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) in hospitalized patients referred for polysomnography (PSG), also known as an overnight sleep test, especially in patients with underlying cardiopulmonary disease, according to a study published in the April 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (JCSM). view more (2008-04-15)
Obstructive sleep apnea patients show silent brain infarction lesions
Patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea who have significantly higher serum levels of inflammatory markers that serve as precursors to coronary artery disease, as well as lesions associated with silent brain infarction, have an elevated risk of stroke, according to a group of Japanese medical researchers. view more (2007-03-15)
Study finds increased 'sibling risk' of obstructive sleep apnea in children
A study in the Aug. 1 issue of the journal SLEEP indicates that children have an increased risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) if they have at least one sibling who has been diagnosed with the sleep disorder. view more (2009-08-03)
Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with CPAP may lower blood pressure
Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may also lower blood pressure among hypertensive adults, according to researchers in Spain. view more (2008-05-19)
