Does the number of hypopnoeas influence therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea
TL;DR: The most commonly used definition of hypopnoea has a small impact upon therapeutic decision in patients with obstructive sleep apnoeas syndrome (OSAS), and the need to develop new definitions of hypopsinoea that incorporate other variables (neurophysiological, cardiovascular) of potential clinical relevance is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1-Alpha Expression. Is There a Relationship with the Clock Genes?
Carolina López-Cano,Liliana Gutiérrez-Carrasquilla,Ferran Barbé,Ferran Barbé,Enric Sánchez,Marta Hernández,Raquel Martí,Vicky Ceperuelo-Mallafre,Mireia Dalmases,Mireia Dalmases,Sonia Fernández-Veledo,Sonia Fernández-Veledo,Joan Vendrell,Joan Vendrell,Cristina Hernández,Cristina Hernández,Rafael Simó,Rafael Simó,Albert Lecube,Albert Lecube +19 more
TL;DR: Type 2 diabetes modifies the expression of HIF-1α and clock genes, which correlates with the degree of metabolic control, and stepwise multivariate regression analysis showed that HbA1c and clockGenes independently predicted theexpression of Hif-1 α.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new vibratory postural device for the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A pilot study
Joaquín Durán-Cantolla,Ferran Barbé,Jordi Rigau,D. Oreja,Cristina Martínez-Null,C. Egea Santaolalla +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that this vibratory device is safe and could be useful as a treatment for postural OSA in a significant number of patients and its effect is mantained over the time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein succination as a potential surrogate biomarker of airway obstruction. The ilervas project.
Jessica González,Esther Gracia-Lavedan,Reinald Pamplona,Eva Fernandez,Albert Lecube,Albert Lecube,Juan P. de-Torres,Ferran Barbé,Gerard Torres,Ikram Benabdelhak,Marcelino Bermúdez,Eva Castro,Jordi de Batlle,Laura Colàs-Campàs,Marta Hernández,Mariano Jové,Eva Miquel,Montserrat Pichel Martínez +17 more
TL;DR: Skin AGEs and 2SC are increased in patients with moderate to severe AO and independently associated with its presence, and their potential role as a biomarker for the disease is explored.
