Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is widely used to improve alveolar hypoventilation in
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Several studies indicate a better survival when NIV is used …

Multiple forms of plasticity are activated following reduced respiratory neural activity. For
example, in ventilated rats, a central neural apnea elicits a rebound increase in phrenic and …

Background Patients with ALS may be exposed to variable degrees of chronic intermittent
hypoxia. However, all previous experimental studies on the effects of hypoxia in ALS have …

Study Objectives: The objective was to study the effects on noninvasive ventilation on sleep
outcomes in patient with ALS, specifically oxygenation and overall sleep quality. Methods …

OBJECTIVE: To assess factors that predict good tolerance of noninvasive ventilation (NIV),
in order to improve survival and quality of life in subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis …

Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that leads
to progressive weakness of the respiratory and limb muscles. Consequently, most patients …

Introduction Sleep disturbances in G uillain‐B arre S yndrome (GBS), though common, have
