Incidence of Sleep Bruxism in Different Phenotypes of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Abstract: (1) Background: Sleep bruxism (SB) is a common sleep behavior. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder with potential long-term major neurocognitive and cardiovascular sequelae. Although the co-occurrence of SB and OSA has been described previously, the exact relationship remains unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of SB in different phenotypes of OSA. (2) Methods: The participants of this study were adult patients referred to the Department and Clinic of Internal Medicine, Occupational Diseases, Hypertension and Clinical Oncology at the Wroclaw Medical University. They underwent a single-night video polysomnography in a sleep laboratory. The data related to common OSA phenotypes were analyzed in two separate groups of patients: body position related (n = 94) and rapid eye movement (REM) related (n = 85). (3) Results: The obtained results showed that the incidence of SB and severe SB was higher for body position-related OSA phenotype (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). No statistically significant differences were observed for REM-related OSA phenotype (p > 0.05 for all comparisons). (4) Conclusions: Body position-related OSA phenotype seems to be associated with higher SB and severe SB incidence, but the relationship is not independent. However, in the light of the unclear relationship between SB and sleep-disordered breathing, the topic needs further study.

Information access system, contactless reader and writer device, and contactless information storage device

Abstract: In a reader and writer device, a sleep period setter determines an identification in a received response, and a length of a sleep period depending on a number of received identifications, a first transmitter transmits either an information request or an information and sleep request carrying the sleep length and the received identification, and a first receiver receives a response carrying an identification. In each of information storage devices, a second receiver senses a carrier, and receives the information request or the information and sleep request in response to carrier detection, and a second transmitter, in response to the information request or the information and sleep request carrying no identification of that device, transmits a response carrying the identification of that device, and, in response to the information and sleep request carrying the identification of that device, is in an inactive state during the sleep time period.

Bedroom system controller

Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain better circumstances in a bedroom by selecting the sleep induction mode and the sleeping mode and detecting a sleep by a third mode means to prevent a user from forgetting to switch off a TV or the like CONSTITUTION:When the user will sleep while being comfortably induced and prompted to sleep, a first mode means functions to optimally control video, sound, illumination, fragrance, and air When he will go to bed to immediately sleep, a second mode means functions to turn off video, sound, and illumination then The second mode means quickly turns off them but optimally controls fragrance and air If he sleeps with illumination, TV, etc, on after going to bed, the control is automatically transferred to a third mode means by an operation control means 14 when sleep is not detected in accordance with sleep detection information of a sleep detecting means 12 for a certain time T or longer after the start of the first mode means with respect to video, sound, and illumination Thus, comfortable circumstances for sleep are created

Routinely assessing patients' sleep health is time well spent.

Abstract: Poor sleep health is common in today's society and contributes to a wide array of health problems, decreases productivity, and increases the risk of accidents. Key sleep characteristics that should be assessed by clinicians include sleep duration, sleep quality, sleep timing, daytime alertness, and the absence of a sleep disorder. Examples of questions to be used by busy clinicians to quickly assess a patient's sleep health are provided. It is hoped that sleep health will be given the same level of attention as diet and exercise in clinic.

Sleep assessment using a home sleep system

Abstract: A sleep assessment device is provided for, including biometric sensors for detecting a heart rate, respiration, or movement of a user The device detect a user's sleep state by reading signals from the biometric sensor and logs detected information in a sleep record The device then compares the logged information to a thumbprint of sleep patterns indicative of sleep disorders and outputs an indication of potential sleep disorders based on the comparison
