Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common breathing disorder in sleep in
which the airways narrow or collapse during sleep, causing obstructive sleep apnea. The …

Intermittent hypoxia (IH) has been the subject of considerable research in recent years, and
triggers a bewildering array of both detrimental and beneficial effects in multiple …

We review progress towards greater mechanistic understanding and clinical translation of a
strategy to improve respiratory and non-respiratory motor function in people with …

Ventilatory responses to hypoxia vary widely depending on the pattern and length of hypoxic
exposure. Acute, prolonged, or intermittent hypoxic episodes can increase or decrease …

Preconditioning refers to a procedure by which a single noxious stimulus below the
threshold of damage is applied to the tissue in order to increase resistance to the same or …

This review explores forms of respiratory and autonomic plasticity, and associated outcome
measures, that are initiated by exposure to intermittent hypoxia. The review focuses primarily …

Rationale: Daily exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia (MIH) may elicit beneficial
cardiovascular outcomes. Objectives: To determine the effect of 15 days of MIH and in-home …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by repetitive collapse of
the pharyngeal airway during sleep. Control of pharyngeal patency is a complex process …

Intermittent hypoxia has generally been perceived as a high-risk stimulus, particularly in the
field of sleep medicine, because it is thought to initiate detrimental cardiovascular …

This review focuses on two phenomena that are initiated during and after exposure to
intermittent hypoxia. The two phenomena are referred to as long‐term facilitation and …
