Epidemiological studies demonstrate an association between obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) and accelerated loss of kidney function. It is unclear whether the decline in function is …

This review examines the role that respiratory plasticity has in the maintenance of breathing
stability during sleep in individuals with sleep apnea. The initial portion of the review …

Recognizing that insights into the modulation of sleep duration can emerge by exploring the
functional relationships among genes, we used this strategy to explore the genome-wide …

Over the past three decades exposure to intermittent hypoxia (IH) has generally been
considered a stimulus associated with a number of detrimental outcomes. However, there is …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder that describes recurrent collapse of
the upper airway during sleep. Animal models have been pivotal to the understanding of …

There are three major types of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with respect to prevalence
and health consequences, ie obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), Cheyne–Stokes …

Intermittent hypoxia (IH), a hallmark of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), plays a critical role in
the pathogenesis of OSA-associated morbidities, especially in the cardiovascular and …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with
many cardiovascular complications. Similar to OSA, chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)(a …

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a multi-factorial and highly prevalent
disorder in which both genetic and environmental factors may be involved. If left untreated …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a respiratory sleep disorder associated with cardiovascular
diseases, is more prevalent in men. However, OSA occurrence in pregnant women rises to a …
