Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the treatment of choice for patients with moderate-to-
severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that …

Although obstructive sleep apnea is a highly prevalent disorder with significant clinical
consequences and major public health ramifications, we understand little about its …

We used sophisticated volumetric analysis techniques with magnetic resonance imaging in
a case–control design to study the upper airway soft tissue structures in 48 control subjects …

Background—Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea are common in
patients with heart failure. We hypothesized that in such patients, severity of OSA is related …

Background The mechanisms by which mandibular advancement splints (MAS) improve
obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate the …

In this study, we hypothesized that anatomic abnormalities of the oropharynx, particularly
narrowing of the airway by the lateral pharyngeal walls, tonsils, and tongue, would be …

The anatomical relationships between lymphoid, bony, and other tissues affecting the shape
of the upper airway in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have not …

Objective: The role of the lateral pharyngeal muscular walls in the pathogenesis of
obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is crucial. My objective is to describe …

Increased pharyngeal collapsibility and abnormal anatomic structures have been postulated
to contribute to the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. It is unclear …
