Obstructive sleep apnoea is a disease of increasing importance because of its
neurocognitive and cardiovascular sequelae. Abnormalities in the anatomy of the pharynx …

The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) requires the combined
assessment of relevant clinical features and the objective demonstration of abnormal …

Rationale Symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are common among pregnant
women, and several studies link SDB symptoms with gestational hypertension and …

Abstract Study Objectives Precision medicine for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) requires
noninvasive estimates of each patient's pathophysiological “traits.” Here, we provide the first …

Current techniques for investigating patients with suspected sleep disordered breathing are
inadequate. Not only are many of the tests expensive, but they are also cumbersome and …

The upper airway is the primary conduit for passage of air into the lungs. Its physiology has
been the subject of intensive study: both passive mechanical and active neural influences …

Previous studies indicate that upper airway (UA) sensory receptors play a role in the
maintenance of UA patency and contribute to arousal in response to airway occlusion. An …

Abstract Study Objectives: Insomnia patients often report greater sleep disturbance than
found via polysomnography; yet the specific patient factors related to such sleep time …

We previously showed that upper airway resistance can be inferred from the inspiratory flow
contour during continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration in obstructive sleep …

Introduction Both types of sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB), obstructive and central sleep
apnoea (OSA and CSA, respectively), are common in patients with heart failure and reduced …
