Article Abstract
Purpose: This work aimed to analyze the association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with choroidal thickness (CT) in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
Methods: We identified patients in the Stanford Research Repository with a diagnosis of CSC and OSA. Age- and sex-matched controls with either CSC or OSA only were also identified. CT was measured at 5 points (subfoveal, and 1500 and 3000 µm nasal and temporal) by 2 graders. In addition to OSA treatment and severity, we also investigated the association of Oxygen Desaturation Index and nocturnal oxygen saturation nadir with subfoveal CT (SFCT).
Results: A total of 57 patients and 72 eyes met the study inclusion criteria. The mean SFCT was significantly different across the 3 groups: OSA-only was the thinnest, followed by CSC with OSA, and CSC-only was the thickest (194.2 μm, 295.1 μm, and 357.8 μm, respectively, < .001). SFCT was thicker in CSC with OSA compared with those with only OSA ( < .05). OSA treatment status and OSA severity did not show a significant difference in SFCT in multivariable modeling. Nocturnal oxygen saturation nadir was positively associated with SFCT, but this did not reach significance..
Conclusions: SFCT is significantly different in patients with OSA alone, CSC with OSA, and CSC alone. While OSA treatment status did not demonstrate a significant difference in SFCT in this study, future studies should evaluate patients for OSA in patients known to have CSC and atypically thin CT to further investigate the novel metrics leveraged in this study.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition associated with intermittent hypoxia, systemic inflammation, and vascular dysfunction; mechanisms implicated in retinal disease pathogenesis. This real-world retrospective cohort study used data from the TriNetX Research Network to assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy reduces retinal disease incidence among adults with OSA and BMI between 25.0 and 30.

Background/objective: We aimed to examine the incidence of sleep disorders (SD) in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) vs. non-RA comparators, evaluate risk factors for SD, and assess the association between incident SD and dementia in RA.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included residents aged ≥50 years within an 8-county region of Minnesota who first met the 1987 ACR criteria for RA in 1980-2014.
Background: The Minnesota State Healthcare Coordination Center requested that the Minnesota Critical Care Working Group (CCWG) and Ethics Working Group (EWG), comprising interprofessional leaders from Minnesota's 9 largest health systems, plan and coordinate critical care operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the fall 2021 surge.
Research Question: Can a statewide working group collaboratively analyze real-time evidence to identify crisis conditions and to engage state leadership to implement care processes?
Study Design And Methods: The CCWG and EWG met via videoconferencing during the severe surge of fall 2021 to analyze evidence and plan for potential crisis care conditions. Five sources of evidence informed their actions: group consensus on operating conditions, federal teletracking data, the Medical Operations Coordination Center (MOCC) patient placement data, and 2 surveys created and distributed to hospitals and health care professionals.
Objective Pharyngeal Phenotyping in Obstructive Sleep Apnea With High-Resolution Manometry.

Objective: Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a commonly used diagnostic tool for surgical procedural selection in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but it is expensive, subjective, and requires sedation. Here we present an initial investigation of high-resolution pharyngeal manometry (HRM) for upper airway phenotyping in OSA, developing a software system that reliably predicts pharyngeal sites of collapse based solely on manometric recordings.
Study Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.

Study Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and mandibular advancement appliance (MAA) therapy on rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA), a biomarker of sleep bruxism (SB), and to compare the effects of CPAP with MAA in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods: This cohort study included individuals with OSA who received treatment with CPAP or MAA. Polysomnographic recordings with and without therapy were performed in each individual.
