Detailed Description: Sleep-related respiratory disorders are a common disease in the general population. Untreated sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of accidents, an increased risk of perioperative complications and various cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension,
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) has become one of the more serious health problems worldwide (Mendes et al., 2014). Because of its relationship with obesity, its prevalence and incidence have increased. It is associated with morbidities such as cardiovascular and
Study Design:
This phase IV prospective, observational multi-centre post-market surveillance study is proposed to run up to a period of 6 months. Five centres will be used in the trial with 15-20 trial participants per site.
Each site will follow the pre-determined study protocol, collecting
Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping.
Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Snoring can cause significant psychological and social problems to
Method The adults whose age between 20~65 years old, BMI between 27kg/m² and 35kg/m², and also have snoring during sleeping are able to be enrolled in the study. Then, the general data questionnaire, Body Constitution Questionnaire, physical examination, blood test, and genetic test are provided to
Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is characterized by multiple episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep and considered as a major health issue worldwide due to comorbidity with obesity, hypertension, diabetes and more advanced cardiovascular diseases. The noisy sounds of snoring caused by OSA

A recent clinical study published in 2014 on the New England Journal of Medicine found that often even an initial modest body weight reduction can favourably modify apnea events and severity during the night, with the latter that can be reduced by about 30% (AHI) for a 10% weight reduction compared
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder in school-aged children with an estimated prevalence of 1-4%. The main etiology is adeno-amygdala hypertrophy. Adenoamygdalectomy, which involves the removal of tonsils and adenoids, is a common procedure. In the majority of cases, it
Specific Aims:
1. Demonstrate the criterion validity of the Sleep-Related Breathing Disorder subscale of the PSQ as a screening tool for the diagnosis of OSA in children with Down Syndrome, using polysomnography as the gold standard.
Hypothesis: Compared to the published threshold for a positive
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease that carries significant risks for cardiovascular disease, mortality, and economic costs. Almost thirty years ago, initial population studies found the prevalence of OSA to be five to nine percent of the adult population. Excess body weight is a risk
In the preoperative period, patient's airway data will be recorded by a research coordinator or anesthesia provider (Table 1). Patients will be positioned supine and in a standardized ramped position on the OR table. Patients will be pre-medicated with midazolam 0-2 mg IV, as clinically appropriate.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a form of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) where cessation of breathing occurs during sleep in 9% of middle-aged women and 25% or middle-aged men. Major health issues and risks have been linked to untreated sleep apnea, including drug-resistant hypertension, obesity,
American Sleep Apnea Association considers exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment modality of sleep disorders . Theoretical reviews and hypotheses on the effects of exercise in OSA have suggested thermoregulatory, metabolic, and biochemical mechanisms although clinical trials on the topic are
