Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the Arousal Threshold using Polysomnography in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Scott A. Sands,Scott A. Sands,Philip I. Terrill,Bradley A. Edwards,Bradley A. Edwards,Luigi Taranto Montemurro,Ali Azarbarzin,Melania Marques,Melania Marques,Camila Maria de Melo,Stephen H. Loring,James P. Butler,David P. White,Andrew Wellman +13 more
TL;DR: The arousal threshold in patients with OSA can be estimated using polysomnographic signals and may enable more personalized therapeutic interventions for patients with a low arousal threshold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying obstructive sleep apnoea patients responsive to supplemental oxygen therapy.
Scott A. Sands,Scott A. Sands,Bradley A. Edwards,Philip I. Terrill,James P. Butler,Robert L. Owens,Robert L. Owens,Luigi Taranto-Montemurro,Ali Azarbarzin,Melania Marques,L Hess,Erik Smales,Camila Maria de Melo,David P. White,Atul Malhotra,Atul Malhotra,Andrew Wellman +16 more
TL;DR: A subgroup of patients with obstructive sleep apnoea who benefit from stabilising ventilatory control with supplemental oxygen therapy can be recognised by estimating pathophysiological mechanisms from a routine diagnostic sleep study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desipramine improves upper airway collapsibility and reduces OSA severity in patients with minimal muscle compensation.
Luigi Taranto-Montemurro,Scott A. Sands,Scott A. Sands,Bradley A. Edwards,Bradley A. Edwards,Ali Azarbarzin,Melania Marques,Camila Maria de Melo,Danny J. Eckert,David P. White,Andrew Wellman +10 more
TL;DR: In OSA patients, noradrenergic stimulation with desipramine improves pharyngeal collapsibility and may be an effective treatment in patients with minimal upper airway muscle compensation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting epiglottic collapse in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea
Ali Azarbarzin,Melania Marques,Melania Marques,Scott A. Sands,Scott A. Sands,Sara Op de Beeck,Pedro R. Genta,Luigi Taranto-Montemurro,Camila Maria de Melo,Camila Maria de Melo,Ludovico Messineo,Olivier M. Vanderveken,David P. White,Andrew Wellman +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that epiglottic collapse can be identified from the airflow signal measured during a sleep study, which may enable clinicians to use clinically collected data to characterise underlying physiology and improve treatment decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galectin‐3 disruption impaired tumoral angiogenesis by reducing VEGF secretion from TGFβ1‐induced macrophages
Camila Maria Longo Machado,Luciana N ogueira Sousa Andrade,Verônica R. Teixeira,Fabricio F. Costa,Camila Maria de Melo,Sofia Nascimento dos Santos,Suely Nonogaki,Fu-Tong Liu,Emerson Soares Bernardes,Anamaria A ranha Camargo,Roger Chammas +10 more
TL;DR: It is reported that galectin‐3 disruption in tumor stroma and parenchyma decreases angiogenesis through interfering with the responses of macrophages to the interdependent VEGF and TGFβ1 signaling pathways.
