Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in the general population: the HypnoLaus study
Raphael Heinzer,S. Vat,Pedro Marques-Vidal,Helena Marti-Soler,Daniela Andries,Nadia Tobback,Vincent Mooser,Martin Preisig,Atul Malhotra,Gérard Waeber,Peter Vollenweider,Mehdi Tafti,Mehdi Tafti,José Haba-Rubio +13 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that sleep-disordered breathing is highly prevalent, with important public health outcomes, and that the definition of the disorder should be revised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung volume and continuous positive airway pressure requirements in obstructive sleep apnea
Raphael Heinzer,Michael L. Stanchina,Atul Malhotra,Robert B. Fogel,Sanjay R. Patel,Amy S. Jordan,Karen Schory,David P. White +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that relatively small changes in lung volume have an important effect on the upper airway in subjects with sleep apnea during non-REM sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of increased lung volume on sleep disordered breathing in patients with sleep apnoea
Raphael Heinzer,Michael L. Stanchina,Atul Malhotra,Amy S. Jordan,Sanjay R. Patel,Yu-Lun Lo,Andrew Wellman,Karen Schory,Louise Dover,David P. White +9 more
TL;DR: An increase in lung volume causes a substantial decrease in sleep disordered breathing in patients with OSA during non-REM sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms used to restore ventilation after partial upper airway collapse during sleep in humans
Amy S. Jordan,Andrew Wellman,Raphael Heinzer,Yu-Lun Lo,Karen Schory,Louise Dover,Shiva Gautam,Atul Malhotra,David P. White +8 more
TL;DR: Compensatory mechanisms (increased genioglossus muscle activity and/or duty cycle) often restore ventilation during sleep but may be less effective in obese patients with OSA than in non-snorers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and determinants of periodic limb movements in the general population.
José Haba-Rubio,Helena Marti-Soler,Pedro Marques-Vidal,Nadia Tobback,Daniela Andries,Martin Preisig,Gérard Waeber,Peter Vollenweider,Zoltán Kutalik,Mehdi Tafti,Raphael Heinzer +10 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and determinants of PLMS in a middle to older aged general population.
