Journal ArticleDOI
The Male Predisposition to Pharyngeal Collapse Importance of Airway Length
Atul Malhotra,Yaqi Huang,Robert B. Fogel,Giora Pillar,Jill K. Edwards,Ron Kikinis,Stephen H. Loring,David P. White +7 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that the male predisposition to pharyngeal collapse is anatomically based, primarily as the result of an increased length of vulnerable airway as well as increased soft palate size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
TL;DR: It is concluded that obese women with PCOS are at increased risk of OSA when compared with matched reproductively normal women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aging influences on pharyngeal anatomy and physiology: the predisposition to pharyngeal collapse.
Atul Malhotra,Yaqi Huang,Robert B. Fogel,Stan Lazic,Giora Pillar,Marianna Jakab,Ron Kikinis,David P. White +7 more
TL;DR: By combining magnetic resonance imaging techniques with pharyngeal physiological assessments, this work sought to determine the structural and functional basis for the increased propensity for airway collapse among older persons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventilatory Control and Airway Anatomy in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Andrew Wellman,Amy S. Jordan,Atul Malhotra,Robert B. Fogel,Eliot S. Katz,Karen Schory,Jill K. Edwards,David P. White +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that loop gain has a substantial impact on apnea severity in certain patients with sleep apnea, particularly those with a pharyngeal closing pressure near atmospheric.
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.
