People develop obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) for different reasons. The ability to
understand these reasons, easily identify them in individual patients, and develop therapies …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a markedly prevalent condition across the
lifespan, particularly in overweight and obese individuals, which has been associated with …

Obstructive sleep apnoea is an increasingly common disorder of repeated upper airway
collapse during sleep, leading to oxygen desaturation and disrupted sleep. Features include …

There is not a clinically available technique for measuring the physiological traits causing
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Therefore, it is often difficult to determine why an individual …

We previously published a method for measuring several physiological traits causing
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The method, however, had a relatively low success rate …

Abstract Study Objectives: An anatomically narrow/highly collapsible upper airway is the
main cause of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Upper airway muscle activity contributes to …

Upper airway (UA) collapsibility is one of the key factors that determine the severity of
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Interventions for OSA are aimed at reducing UA …

Abstract Study Objectives: Upper airway anatomy plays a major role in obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) pathogenesis. An inferiorly displaced hyoid as measured by the mandibular …

The importance of the upper airway (nose, pharynx, and larynx) in health and in the
pathogenesis of sleep apnea, asthma, and other airway diseases, discussed elsewhere in …

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 …
