Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-breathing disorder. OSA is becoming highly prevalent, which means that to detect and prevent various hazardous complications, it is imperative that there are easy yet accurate techniques available to identify people with OSA. Objectives: The objective was to compare two questionnaires: The STOP-BANG score and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), used to screen the patients suspected of OSA. Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard investigation, was used to diagnose OSA. Materials and Methods: Sixty-five suspected individuals

Abstract Obstructive sleep apnoea(OSA) is associated with cardiovascular diseases including acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Current estimates suggest some 70% of patients with ACS have OSA.

Those with high risk for OSA in the Berlin questionnaire or an oxygen desaturation index ≥ 5 to < 15 events/hour, were examined through type 3 polysomnog

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in the bariatric surgery population and has been associated with increased perioperative risk, especially if OSA is moderate-severe (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15/h). Consequently, screening for OSA is recommended as part of the preoperative evaluation. Several screening tools for OSA have been developed; however, some tools lack validation and their relative performance is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare four existing screening tools (Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), STOP-BANG, NO-OSAS, and No-Apnea) with regards to

Abstract:

The improvement of sleep quality in patients with cancer has a positive therapeutic effect on them. However, there are no specific treatment guidelines for treating sleep disturbance in cancer patients. We investigated the effect of forest therapy on the quality of sleep in patients with cancer. This study was conducted on nine patients (one male, eight female; mean age, 53.6 ± 5.8 years) with gastrointestinal tract cancer. All patients participated in forest therapy for six days. They underwent polysomnography (PSG) and answered questionnaires on sleep apnea (STOP BANG), subjective sleep qual

Abstract:

This paper presents experimental investigations into the development of feed-forward control strategies for vibration control of a flexible manipulator using command shaping techniques based on input shaping and low-pass and band-stop filtering. A laboratory-scale single-link flexible manipulator is used and various system responses are obtained. Initially, an unshaped bang-bang torque input is used to determine the dynamic response parameters of the system for design and evaluation of the control techniques. Feed-forward controllers are then designed based on the natural frequencies and dampi

Background: Gender affects the clinical presentation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The classic OSA symptoms, such as sleepiness, snoring, and apnea, are not so frequent in women.

Abstract:

We propose a mechanism to have a smooth transition from a pre-Big Bang phase to a standard cosmological phase. Such transition is driven by gravitational production of heavy massive string states that backreact on the geometry to stop the growth of the curvature. Close to the string scale, particle creation can become effective because the string phase space compensate the exponential suppression of the particle production. Numerical solutions for the evolution of the Universe with this source are presented.

Abstract Introduction Benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZRA) deprescribing and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) are recommended for older adults with chronic insomnia, who often have co-occurring obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms or diagnosis (COMISA). Prioritization of OSA management may delay BZRA deprescribing and CBTI initiation. We hypothesized that Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) would improve with BZRA deprescribing and CBTI irrespective of OSA risk or monitoring of OSA treatment.
