1. Skeletal muscle in Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS)
Sammanfattning : Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) are two sleep disorders that affect daily life with symptoms such as sleepiness and fatigue. It was therefore hypothesised that the skeletal muscle could be affected as symptoms from skeletal muscle are common. LÄS MER

3. Pharyngeal surgery and epidemiology in sleep apnea
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. A longitudinal study of dentofacial morphology in young children treated for the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Sammanfattning : The most common cause of OSAS in children is enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids. Consequently, the treatment for OSAS in children with enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids is adeno-/tonsillectomy. The prevalence of OSAS in children is 1-3%, with the peak incidence at the ages 2 to 6 years. LÄS MER
