Journal ArticleDOI
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome as a risk factor for hypertension: population study
TL;DR: Sleep apnoea syndrome is profoundly associated with hypertension independent of all relevant risk factors, and is a significant predictor of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure after adjustment for age, body mass index, and sex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of actigraphy in the evaluation of sleep disorders.
TL;DR: The data suggest that actigraphy, despite its limitations, may be a useful, cost-effective method for assessing specific sleep disorders, such as insomnia and schedule disorders, and for monitoring their treatment process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Adhesion Molecules Expression and Production of Reactive Oxygen Species in Leukocytes of Sleep Apnea Patients
TL;DR: It is found that OSA was associated with increased expression of adhesion molecules CD15 and CD11c on monocytes, increased adherence of monocytes in culture to human endothelial cells, increased intracellular ROS production in some monocyte and granulocyte subpopulations, and upregulation of CD15 expression due to hypoxia in vitro in monocytes of control subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrashort sleep-waking schedule. III. ‘Gates’ and ‘Forbidden zones’ for sleep ☆
TL;DR: In this article, three experiments were conducted to investigate the 24-hour structure of sleepiness after 1 night of sleep deprivation under two experimental conditions: instructing subjects to attempt to fall asleep or instructing subject to resist sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality in Sleep Apnea Patients: A Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors
TL;DR: It is interpreted to suggest that SAS affects death indirectly, most probably by being a risk factor for hypertension.
