obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers in the …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem because of its high
prevalence in morbidity and mortality. A growing body of evidence suggests that OSA is an …

Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to and is associated with

Obstructive sleep apnea results in intermittent hypoxia via repetitive upper airway
obstruction leading to partial or complete upper airway closure, apneas and hypopneas …

Study objectives: Objective and subjective measures of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)
are only weakly associated. No study, however, has examined whether these two measures …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a markedly prevalent condition across the
lifespan, particularly in overweight and obese individuals, which has been associated with …

Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is accompanied by oxygen
desaturation and arousal from sleep. Free oxygen radicals are highly reactive molecules …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with pharyngeal inflammation, but the
