Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of Awake Sympathetic Nerve Activity of Heart Failure Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Nocturnal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Kengo Usui,T. Douglas Bradley,Jonas Spaak,Clodagh Ryan,Toshihiko Kubo,Yasuyuki Kaneko,John S. Floras +6 more
TL;DR: Treatment of coexisting OSA by CPAP in HF patients lowers daytime MSNA, systolic BP, and HR, and inhibition of increased central sympathetic vasoconstrictor outflow is one mechanism by which nocturnal CPAP reduces awake BP inHF patients with moderate to severe OSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomised study of three non-surgical treatments in mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea
Bing Lam,K Sam,Wendy Y W Mok,Man Tat Cheung,Daniel Y. T. Fong,Jamie C.M. Lam,David C.L. Lam,Loretta Yin-Chun Yam,Mary S.M. Ip +8 more
TL;DR: CPAP produced the best improvement in terms of physiological, symptomatic and HRQOL measures, while the oral appliance was slightly less effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed Neural Network Approach for Temporal Sleep Stage Classification
TL;DR: A comfortable configuration of a single-channel EEG on the forehead is found and it can be integrated with additional electrodes for simultaneous recording of the electro-oculogram, and use of this recording configuration with neural network deconvolution promises to make clinically indicated home sleep studies practical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insomnia with objective short sleep duration is associated with deficits in neuropsychological performance: a general population study.
Julio Fernandez-Mendoza,Susan L. Calhoun,Edward O. Bixler,Slobodanka Pejovic,Maria Karataraki,Duanping Liao,Antonio Vela-Bueno,María José Ramos-Platón,Katherine A. Sauder,Alexandros N. Vgontzas +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that objective sleep duration may predict the severity of chronic insomnia, including its effect on neurocognitive function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microarousals during sleep are associated with increased levels of lipids, cortisol, and blood pressure.
TL;DR: Sleep fragmentation was associated with elevated levels of metabolic and cardiovascular risk indicators of stress-related disorders, and number of arousals also seems to be related to workload/stress.
