//www.pyrotek-europe.com/sleep-apnea-news/ en-us The latest research news on sleep apnea With a small snout, a short and curled tail, and a big, round stomach, mini pigs are the epitome of cute—and sometimes, they snore. Now, researchers think these snoring pigs can be used to study obstructive sleep apnea. A study appearing January 19 in the journal Heliyon found that obese Yucatan mini pigs do have naturally occurring sleep apnea and that MRI scans taken while they're in sedated sleep can be used to gain new insights into what happens in the airways during sleep apnea episodes via computational flow dynamic (CFD) analysis.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2021-01-obese-mini-pigs-air-throat.html Sleep apnea Tue, 19 Jan 2021 11:00:02 EST news530262695 A new study by Monash University has found that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to an increased risk of dementia.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-11-link-apnea-dementia.html Alzheimer's disease & dementia Wed, 11 Nov 2020 08:12:43 EST news524304761 A new study found that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment at night can lower daytime resting heart rates in patients with prediabetes who have obstructive sleep apnea, reducing their risk of cardiovascular disease.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-10-apnea-treatment-heart-problems-patients.html Cardiology Thu, 01 Oct 2020 10:30:57 EST news520767050 New research has confirmed long-suspected links between sleep apnea and Alzheimer's disease, finding identical signs of brain damage in both conditions.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-09-link-apnea-alzheimer-disease.html Alzheimer's disease & dementia Mon, 28 Sep 2020 10:58:53 EST news520509528 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic sleep condition affecting more than one billion people worldwide. Evidence suggests OSA can alter the gut microbiome (GM) and may promote OSA-associated co-morbidities, including diabetes, hypertension and cognitive problems. Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and MU Health Care have discovered how OSA-related sleep disturbances affect the gut microbiome in mice and how transplanting those gut bacteria into other mice can cause changes to sleep patterns in the recipient mice.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-09-gut-microbiome-important-role.html Sleep apnea Wed, 23 Sep 2020 12:28:47 EST news520082919 A trial of a simple yet effective surgery has led Australian experts to promote it as an option to specialists around the world for managing difficult obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) cases.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-09-relief-people-struggle-cpap-masks.html Sleep apnea Fri, 04 Sep 2020 11:00:01 EST news518420551 Deep sleep is essential for good health, and too little of it may shorten your life, a new study suggests.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-07-rem-declines-life-span.html Health Tue, 07 Jul 2020 15:47:42 EST news513355658 A study published online as an accepted paper in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that increased physical activity is associated with a lower risk of obstructive sleep apnea, a common sleep-related breathing disorder.

In addition to sleep problems, the condition can cause other health issues, including high blood pressure, chronic heart failure and stroke. Some patients with OSA are at an even higher risk of cardiovascular problems because of a phenomenon called "reverse dipping" that causes blood pressure to rise rather than lower during sleep. Most people experience lower blood pressure at night. Now, University of Missouri School of Medicine researchers have found a potential cause for reverse dipping that may help patients with OSA get the help they need before cardiovascular disease develops.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2019-12-potential-elevated-nighttime-blood-pressure.html Cardiology Thu, 05 Dec 2019 03:02:11 EST news494737321 A new study led by a University of Calgary researcher at the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) finds that fatigue and sleep may need more attention in order to prevent issues like stroke after spinal cord injury.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2019-11-sleepiness-huge-problem-people-spinal.html Neuroscience Thu, 07 Nov 2019 10:27:14 EST news492344823 Researchers have identified 57 genetic variations of a gene strongly associated with declines in blood oxygen levels during sleep.

However, the perception of impairment from excessive sleepiness quickly plateaus in individuals who are chronically sleep deprived, despite continued declines in performance. Individuals may thus be unaware of their degree of impairment from sleep deficiency, which raises the question of whether these individuals are at an increased risk of motor vehicle crash. A team of researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital addressed this question and their results are published in BMC Medicine.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2018-04-deficiency-motor-vehicle.html Sleep apnea Wed, 04 Apr 2018 12:41:51 EST news442064500 Researchers from the UCLA School of Nursing examined clinical records and magnetic resonance imaging brain scans of patients who were recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, and discovered several apparent connections between thinning of the brain's cerebral cortex and apnea symptoms. The researchers also could discern distinct changes in brain structures and concurrent symptoms that differed between men and women. For example, more regions of the superior frontal lobe were thinner in women with apnea than men or control groups, which might explain enhanced cognitive deficits among women with the disorder. No sleep apnea patients showed any thickening of the cerebral cortex. In addition, overall cortical thinning could possibly lead to impaired regulation of the autonomic nervous system and associated impaired breathing function through the upper airway in these patients.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2018-03-apnea-male-female-differences-cerebral-cortex.html Sleep apnea Tue, 13 Mar 2018 06:52:34 EST news440142738 分子的合成版本中发现的nabis plant was safe and effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea in the first large, multi-site study of a drug for the sleep disorder funded by the National Institutes of Health.
