   Nyckelord :Obstructive sleep apnea; physical activity; eating behaviour; sedentary time; health behaviour change; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed at developing and evaluating a tailored behavioural sleep medicine intervention for enhanced physical activity and healthy eating in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and overweight.Participants with moderate or severe OSAS (apnea-hypopnea index ≥15) and obesity (Studies I-II) or overweight (Studies III-IV), treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) (Studies I-II) or admitted to CPAP treatment (Studies III-IV), were recruited from the sleep clinic at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden.

3. 22. Pharyngeal surgery and epidemiology in sleep apnea

   Författare :Karin Lundkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) occurs frequently among adults and children. The first-line treatments in adults are continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mandibular retaining devices (MRDs), but the long-term efficacy is only around 60%. LÄS MER

4. 23. Psychometric aspects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder consisting of episodes with impaired breathing due to obstruction of the upper airways. Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a potentially effective treatment, but adherence is low. Several potential factors affecting adherence, e.g. LÄS MER

5. 24. Pharmacological therapy in obstructive sleep apnea - Methodology and interventional aspects of carbonic anhydrase modulation

   Författare :Erik Hoff; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obstructive sleep apnea; carbonic anhydrase; endotype; drug therapy; hypoxia; hypoxia-inducible factor 1α; placebo;

   Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease with potential severe short- and long-term consequences such as daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disease. Recurrent total or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep leads to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia/hypercapnia. LÄS MER

7. 25. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Treatment outcome, psychiatric aspects, neuropsychology and quality of life

   Författare :Pia Dahlöf; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; uvulopalatopharyngoplasty; oxygen desaturation index; psychiatric morbidity; depression; dexamethasone suppression test; verbal learning and recall; executive functions; quality of life; spouses; long-term follow-up;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by snoring and apneas during sleep leading to oxygen desaturation, sleep fragmentation and excessive daytime sleepiness. Prior reports have indicated that psychiatric morbidity associated with sleep apnea might be reversed by intervention correcting the sleep related breathing disorder. LÄS MER
