Despite the high efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to reverse upper
airway obstruction in sleep apnea, treatment effectiveness is limited by variable adherence …

Gender differences in sleep become apparent after the onset of puberty. Menstrual cycles,
pregnancy, and menopause can alter sleep architecture. Gender-related differences in …

Background. Adherence is a factor in the outcome of medical treatment, but the strength and
moderators of the adherence-outcome association have not been systematically assessed …

Background—Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), characterized by intermittent
hypoxia/reoxygenation (IHR), is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We …

Positive airway pressure (PAP) devices are used to treat patients with sleep related
breathing disorders (SRBD) including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Currently, PAP …

Patients with the sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) treated by nasal continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) need to use CPAP long-term to prevent recurrence of …

Positive airway pressure (PAP) is used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep
apnea (CSA), and chronic hypoventilation. This document provides a systematic analysis …

Though continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the treatment of choice for the sleep
apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS), suboptimal adherence to CPAP is common …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with chronic ventilatory failure
(CVF) are more likely to develop exacerbations, which are an important determinant of …

The consequences of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are largely mediated by chronic
intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. The primary molecular domains affected are …
