Pharyngeal Size in Snorers, Nonsnorers, and Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
T D Bradley,I. G. Brown,R. F. Grossman,Noe Zamel,Denis Martinez,Eliot A. Phillipson,V. Hoffstein +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that snorers with and without sleep apnea have smaller pharyngeal cross-sectional areas than nonsnorers and thatsnorers with sleep apna have a further decrease as lung volume falls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dieter Vaitl,Niels Birbaumer,John Gruzelier,Graham A. Jamieson,Boris Kotchoubey,Andrea Kübler,Dietrich Lehmann,Wolfgang H. R. Miltner,Ulrich Ott,Peter Pütz,Gebhard Sammer,Inge Strauch,Ute Strehl,Jiri Wackermann,Thomas Weiss +14 more
TL;DR: The neurophysiological approach revealed that the different states of consciousness are mainly brought about by a compromised brain structure, transient changes in brain dynamics (disconnectivity), and neurochemical and metabolic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors impairing daytime performance in patients with sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome.
TL;DR: It was showed that the frequency of breathing irregularities and the extent of both sleep disruption and nocturnal hypoxemia are important in determining daytime function in patients with sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daytime sleepiness and hyperactivity in children with suspected sleep-disordered breathing.
TL;DR: Although the ESS score of children with S-SDB was within the normal range for adults, these children were sleepier and more hyperactive than control subjects, however, these data should be confirmed by a population-based study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual differences in adult human sleep and wakefulness: Leitmotif for a research agenda.
TL;DR: Suggests for a research agenda focusing on individual differences in sleep research and sleep medicine are given, as understanding the basis of trait variability may yield new insights into sleep/wake regulation and sleep pathology.
