Sleep apnea treatment improves bed partner's depression October 11, 2011 A study from the journal Sleep and Breathing found that treating primary snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can improve your bed partner’s depression. OSA is known to influence mood and daytime sleepiness in patients, but this study confirms its impact on bed partners.
Obstructive sleep apnea treatment improves body’s ability to fight acid reflux October 06, 2011 A study in the journal Sleep and Breathing found that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment may reduce gastroesophageal reflux (GER) by decreasing strain where the esophagus and stomach meet.
Sleep apnea disguised as dementia October 06, 2011 It’s important to know the signs of OSA. Unfortunately, 80 to 90 percent of people with sleep apnea are unaware of their condition. Untreated OSA is frequently linked to cognitive decline. It also raises the risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and driving accidents.
Doctors combine CPAP treatment with oral appliance therapy October 06, 2011 Doctors recommend continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as the gold standard of sleep apnea treatment. But 25 to 50 percent of patients do not use the treatment on a regular basis because they can’t tolerate the pressure produced by CPAP. To increase compliance and effectiveness of CPAP, some doctors are combining CPAP treatment with oral appliance therapy.
Putting a name to sleep apnea October 06, 2011 Sleep experts estimate that 80 to 90 percent of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients are undiagnosed and untreated. Many patients do not know they have a problem because they are unaware that they wake up throughout the night to breathe.
Chinese anesthesiologists score low on OSA knowledge October 06, 2011 A study in the journal Sleep and Breathing found that the majority of surveyed anesthesiologists lacked knowledge of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Serious and life-threatening complications may occur in patients with OSA and unrecognized OSA during medical procedures. Anesthetists should be able to identify OSA patients and feel confident in their ability to deal with a difficult airway.
Heavyweight tag-teamed by sleep apnea's partners October 06, 2011 A study in the journal Sleep and Breathing shows that people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may pit themselves against more than just a breathing disorder.

Sleep-disordered breathing and asthma go together, study shows August 29, 2011 One of the most recognized symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is snoring.

Bouncing off the walls: Obstructive sleep apnea could contribute to ADHD August 05, 2011 Can’t focus. Can’t pay attention. Can’t sit still. These are some of the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Does obstructive sleep apnea contribute to ADHD? A new review of OSA and ADHD examined the evidence. It was published in the August issue of Annals of Clinical Psychiatry. The reviewers found that six studies have observed the effects of OSA treatment on ADHD. Up to 95 percent of people with OSA had attention deficits. In those with full-blown ADHD, 20 to 30 percent had OSA. ADHD symptoms improved after the treatment of OSA in all six studies. Patients saw improvement in their behavior, attention span, and overall ADHD symptoms. More studies are needed to further clarify the relationship between OSA and ADHD. But treating OSA appears to have a positive effect on the symptoms of ADHD.

Breathing Test Potential Alternative to Sleep Study June 27, 2011 The main way to find out if a person has a sleep disorder is an overnight sleep study at an AASM-Accredited Sleep Center. For those who might have severe obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep study is critical. New research suggests that these patients may soon have an alternative method of diagnosis. At SLEEP 2011, the 25^th Anniversary Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, a research abstract suggested that analyzing the breathing sounds individuals make while awake could be a useful tool in discovering if a person has sleep apnea. The purpose of the research was to find a fast, easy way to diagnose a patient without an overnight sleep study. The test patients (35 with sleep apnea, and 17 controls) were told to breathe in two different body positions: sitting up and lying down. The patients were to do this five times each. The study was able—with 84% accuracy—to separate those who had sleep apnea and those who did not have the disorder. It was also able to show the different levels of sleep apnea severity that the patients had. These findings show potential in diagnosing sleep apnea. However, the research is a work in progress. Contact an AASM-Accredited Sleep Center if you suspect that you have a sleep related breathing disorder. Nearly a third of patients who receive a sleep study discover they have severe sleep apnea.

Study Recommends Sleep Studies for Patients Considering Gastric Bypass June 07, 2011 A new study in the journal Sleep and Breathing assessed the risk factors for the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Participants were severely obese patients being evaluated for gastric bypass surgery. Sleep studies were performed in patients undergoing gastric bypass from January 2004 to January 2007. Sleep apnea was noted as present or absent. The OSA was graded from mild to severe according to the apnea hypopnea index (AHI). The AHI is the average number of pauses in breathing that occur per hour of sleep.

Study finds agreement between subjective and objective compliance with oral appliance therapy May 31, 2011 According to new research that will be presented Saturday, June 11, at the 20^th Anniversary Meeting of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), objective compliance measurements agree with subjective compliance estimates in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing oral appliance therapy (OAT) – a finding that is not apparent in patients using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.
Oral appliance therapy improves craniofacial growth direction and snoring May 31, 2011 According to new research that will be presented Saturday, June 11, at the 20^th Anniversary Meeting of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), children with enlarged tonsils and adenoids who wore an oral appliance for six months experienced more favorable craniofacial growth, enlargement of pharyngeal dimensions, and improved breathing and snoring during sleep. Enlarged tonsils and dental malocclusion have a strong relation with sleep disturbance in children. Its consequences can include abnormalities of craniofacial growth and facial morphology more suitable to the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
