Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can cause sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxemia,
which are linked to oxidative stress. White matter changes (WMCs) representing …

Background Sleep fragmentation was shown to be positively associated with cognitive
impairment in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD); however, the underlying …

Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for stroke, which is
modulated by accompanying nocturnal hypoxemia. White matter hyperintensities (WMH) …

Study Objectives To assess whether MRI detectable evidence of silent cerebrovascular
disease is more prevalent in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) when compared to …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cerebral small vessel disease
(CSVD). Nonetheless, whether OSA-risk determined by a simple screening questionnaire or …

Background A growing body of literature has suggested that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
and habitual short sleep duration are linked to poor cognitive function. Neuroimaging …

Objective Impaired cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
syndrome (OSAS) increases the risk of ischemic stroke. CVR also decreases with age in …

Self‐reports of long or short sleep durations have indicated an association with
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but there are limited data evaluating their association …

Background and Objectives Sleep disturbances are implicated as risk factors of both stroke
and dementia. However, whether these associations are causal and whether treatment of …

Background and Purpose—The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is associated with cerebral
small vessel disease (cSVD), but pathogenesis of this association is elusive. We aimed to …
