Sleep-disordered breathing in cognitively unimpaired amyloid-positive individuals may exacerbate neurodegeneration in medial temporal lobe subregions

A new study investigated the link between SDB severity and the volume of medial temporal lobe (MTL) substructures. In addition, it also evaluated the association between SDB and MTL subregions volumes with episodic memory performance.

Study explores the link between sleep apnea and brain volume

Studies have shown that sleep apnea is related to an increased risk of dementia. A new study looks at the relationship between sleep apnea and brain volume.

Babies experiencing hypoxia due to sleep apnea tend to develop hypertension in adulthood

Newborn babies who experience low levels of oxygen in their body tissues (hypoxia) due to sleep apnea, for example, tend to develop respiratory problems and hypertension (high blood pressure) in adulthood, and these problems may persist for the rest of their lives.

Mice study shows how obstructive sleep apnea may affect gene activity throughout the day

The low blood oxygen levels of obstructive sleep apnea cause widespread changes in gene activity throughout the day, according to a new study in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by David Smith of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, US, and colleagues.

Wearable sleep monitoring patch created for accurate sleep apnea detection at home

The prevalence of sleep disorders, like sleep apnea, is on the rise in the U.S., but current protocols to conduct clinically accepted assessments are expensive and inconvenient.

Does obstructive sleep apnea increase the risk of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2?

Research paper examines the potential link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), the long-term effects of COVID-19. It investigates whether OSA increases the risk of more severe PASC outcomes.

Adults with sleep apnea may have higher risk of developing long COVID

Among people who have had COVID-19, adults with obstructive sleep apnea were more likely to experience long-term symptoms suggestive of long COVID than those without the sleep disorder, according to a large study supported by the National Institutes of Health.

Sleep apnea, lack of deep sleep associated with brain biomarkers of cerebrovascular disease

People who have sleep apnea and spend less time in deep sleep may be more likely to have brain biomarkers that have been linked to an increased risk of stroke, Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline, according to new research published in the May 10, 2023, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Most effective treatment for excessive daytime sleepiness found

McMaster University researchers Dena Zeraatkar and Tyler Pitre have found that the drug solriamfetol is the most effective treatment for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Healthy eating lowers risk of sleep apnea

Study analyzed the relationship between diet quality and sleep outcomes in the Bogalusa Heart Study. The results suggest that higher diet quality is associated with a lower risk of sleep apnea.

Digitized brain-heart atlas opens the door for innovative therapies

A team of UCF College of Medicine researchers has created a digital topographical map of the cardiac sympathetic neural network, the region that controls the body's heart rate and its "fight-or-flight" response.

Sleep disturbances linked to increased risk of acute stroke

In a recent study published in the journal Neurology, researchers investigated how a wide range of symptoms of sleep disturbance, individually and cumulatively, could be associated with the risk of acute stroke.

Pathophysiology, comorbidities, and interventions related to childhood obesity

Researchers discuss the psychological and physiological impacts of obesity on children.

Obstructive sleep apnea can cause early cognitive decline even in patients without co-morbidities

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potentially dangerous condition. During sleep, the throat muscles of people with OSA relax and block the airflow into the lungs, so that they repeatedly stop breathing.
