Journal ArticleDOI
Pathophysiology of Sleep Apnea
TL;DR: This work reviews three types of major long-term sequelae to severe OSA and discusses future research into understanding the pathophysiology of sleep apnea as a basis for uncovering newer forms of treatment of both the ventilatory disorder and its multiple sequelae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea is presented, focusing on the neurocognitive sequelae of the disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Oropharyngeal Exercises on Patients with Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Kátia C. Carmello Guimarães,Luciano F. Drager,Pedro R. Genta,Bianca Marcondes,Geraldo Lorenzi-Filho +4 more
TL;DR: Oropharyngeal exercises significantly reduce OSAS severity and symptoms and represent a promising treatment for moderate OSAS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea.
TL;DR: The pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea has been under investigation for over 25 years, during which a number of factors that contribute to upper airway collapse during sleep have been identified and suggests that OSA may be a heterogeneous disorder, rather than a single disease entity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
TL;DR: No other metric has proven to be superior to the apneahypopnea index in assessing the overall effect of obstructive sleep apnea, even though it may prove to be inappropriate for characterizing obstructiveSleep apnea in specific subsets of patients.

The Occurrence of Sleep-Disordered Breathing among Middle-Aged Adults
TL;DR: The prevalence of undiagnosed sleep-disordered breathing is high among men and is much higher than previously suspected among women, and is associated with daytime hypersomnolence.

TL;DR: Part 1: Normal Sleep and Its Variations; Part 2: Abnormal Sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective study of the association between sleep-disordered breathing and hypertension.
TL;DR: A dose-response association between sleep-disordered breathing at base line and the presence of hypertension four years later was found that was independent of known confounding factors and suggest that sleep- disordered breathing is likely to be a risk factor for hypertension and consequent cardiovascular morbidity in the general population.

Association of Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Sleep Apnea, and Hypertension in a Large Community-Based Study
F. Javier Nieto,Terry Young,Bonnie K. Lind,Eyal Shahar,Jonathan M. Samet,Susan Redline,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Anne B. Newman,Michael D. Lebowitz,Thomas G. Pickering +9 more
TL;DR: The findings from the largest cross-sectional study to date indicate that SDB is associated with systemic hypertension in middle-aged and older individuals of different sexes and ethnic backgrounds.

The revolution that wasn't: a new interpretation of the origin of modern human behavior.
Sally McBrearty,Alison S. Brooks +1 more
TL;DR: The African Middle and early Late Pleistocene hominid fossil record is fairly continuous and in it can be recognized a number of probably distinct species that provide plausible ancestors for H. sapiens, and suggests a gradual assembling of the package of modern human behaviors in Africa, and its later export to other regions of the Old World.
