TL;DR: The lack of standardized operational research diagnostic criteria (RDC) for their definition has, in turn, led to inconsistent research findings for most phenotypes largely due to the variable definitions used for their ascertainment as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a follow-up study of 198 obstructive sleep apnea patients seen at the Stanford Sleep Disorders Clinic between 1972 and 1980, for whom either tracheostomy (71 patients) or weight loss (127 patients) had been recommended.

TL;DR: One hundred fifty-five unselected obstructive sleep apneic patients seen in succession had cephalometric roentgenograms and polygraphic recordings performed and common findings were a retroposition of the mandible, a different cranial base flexure, and a displacement of the hyoid bone to a lower position than expected.

TL;DR: Standardized cephalometric roentgenograms can be useful in determining the appropriate treatment for OSAS patients, and long mandibular plane to hyoid bone distance and width of the posterior airway space (PAS) were statistically significant predictors of elevated RDI.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of modafinil, a novel wake-promoting agent, in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) associated with narcolepsy.
