Article Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and low bone mass are two prevalent conditions, particularly among older adults-a section of the U.S. population that is expected to grow dramatically over the coming years. OSA, the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, has been linked to multiple cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory derangements and may have adverse effects on bone. However, little is known about how OSA (including the associated hypoxia and sleep loss) affects bone metabolism. In order to gain insight into the relationship between sleep and bone, we review the growing information on OSA and metabolic bone disease and discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms by which OSA may affect bone metabolism/architecture.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.

Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) device placement for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea has been growing in popularity. The incidence of patients requesting cervical rhytidectomy following implant placement is likely to increase proportionally to the incidence of device placement. This case report describes the preoperative and introperative considerations and details of successful rhytidectomy with platysmaplasty surgery with previous HNS device placement.

Obesity-associated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) highlights the need for effective therapies. Hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to leptin resistance in obesity. Although hesperidin (HE) modulates ER stress and oxidative pathways, its low bioavailability limits clinical use, its role in OSA is unknown.

Exploring the Arousal Intensity in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Based on Odds Ratio Product.

Nat Sci Sleep

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Aim: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive upper airway collapse during sleep, resulting in frequent cortical arousals. However, currently used frequency-based arousal metrics do not sufficiently capture the heterogeneity and clinical significance of arousal responses. The odds ratio product (ORP) is a novel electroencephalographic marker that provides a continuous assessment of sleep depth and has the potential to serve as an objective measure of arousal intensity.

Objective: Previous studies have mainly focused on the relationship between the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in general or overweight/obese populations. However, normal-weight hypertensive patients represent a clinically relevant yet understudied group, in whom OSA risk may be underestimated due to the absence of overt obesity. This study aimed to investigate the association between CVAI and OSA in normal-weight patients with hypertension, given the important role of visceral adiposity in the pathogenesis of OSA.
