Background Overnight rostral leg fluid displacement in heart failure (HF) patients is related
to the high prevalence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). We …

Operant conditioning mechanisms have been demonstrated to be important in the
development of chronic pain. Most experimental studies have investigated the operant …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is considered to impair memory processing and increase the
expression of amyloid-β (Aβ) and risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Given the evidence that …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) causes intermittent hypoxia and increases in
sympathetic activity and contributes to cardiovascular disorders. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is one …

The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by collapse of the upper
airway during sleep, recurring apneas, intermittent hypoxemia and daytime somnolence …

Study Objectives: Pressure-relief features are aimed at improving the patient's comfort
during continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment for obstructive sleep apnea …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been associated with aortic
dissection (AD), but the magnitude of this association and its independence from …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate optimal continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) level, to examine the factors affecting optimal CPAP level, and to develop a …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of multilevel upper airway surgery on
subsequent continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) use and tolerance in patients with …

BACKGROUND: The nightly use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) increases
the quality of life of patients affected by obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The aim …
