Journal ArticleDOI
Automobile accidents in patients with sleep apnea syndrome. An epidemiological and mechanistic study.
TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with SAS have an increased risk of automobile accidents and none of the clinical or physiological markers commonly used to define disease severity appear able to discriminate those patients at higher risk of having an automobile accident.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effects of CPAP on daytime functioning in patients with sleep apnoea syndrome.
TL;DR: The use of CPAP improved significantly the levels of somnolence and vigilance, but failed to modify anxiety and depression, and provided firm evidence to substantiate the use of continuous positive airway pressure in patients with sleep apnoea syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants and patterns of physical activity practice among Spanish university students.
Dora Romaguera,Pedro Tauler,Miquel Bennasar,Jordi Pericas,Carlos Moreno,Sonia Martínez,Antoni Aguiló +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that physically active students tended to engage in other healthy habits in the present population, suggesting the clustering of healthy or unhealthy lifestyle factors among specific subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on the risk of road accidents in sleep apnea patients.
Ferran Barbé,Jordi Sunyer,Andrés de la Peña,Jordi Pericas,Lola R. Mayoralas,Josep M. Antó,Alvar Agusti +6 more
TL;DR: Patients with OSAS have an increased risk of suffering a traffic collision and this risk was significantly reduced after their inclusion in the study, yet this effect may not be due to CPAP therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes induced by fasting and dietetic obesity in thermogenic parameters of rat brown adipose tissue mitochondrial subpopulations.
Juan C. Matamala,Magdalena Gianotti,Jordi Pericas,S. Quevedo,Pilar Roca,Andreu Palou,Francisco J. García-Palmer +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that starvation induced a decrease in mitochondrial turnover in BAT from both lean and obese rats, and the lack of response of UCP to starvation observed in BAT of obese rats compared with the decrease seen in lean animals, is a consequence of a different mitochondrial subpopulation composition and/or a different response of a particular subpopulation to starvation.
