1. 1. Obesity, Sleep and Sleep-disordered Breathing

   Författare :Andreas Palm; Eva Lindberg; Christer Janson; Ludger Grote; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep; Obesity; Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Obesity Hypoventilation syndrome; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Sleep problems are associated with impaired quality of life and daytime sleepiness. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), are associated with metabolic changes and an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER

3. 2. Snoring and sleep apnea : A study of evolution and consequences in a male population

   Författare :Eva Lindberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Snoring; sleepiness; sleep apnea; epidemiology; hypertension; mortality; evolution; population-based; prospective; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by snoring, repeated apneas during sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). The available data suggest that there is a relationship between OSAS and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but the results diverge. LÄS MER

4. 3. Psychometric aspects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

   Författare :Martin Ulander; Eva Svanborg; Anders Broström; Göran Kecklund; Linköpings universitet; []
   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. 4. Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Women : Risk Factors, Signs and Consequences

   Författare :Malin Svensson; Eva Lindberg; Mats Holmström; Ludger Grote; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :snoring; sleep apnea; women; general population; risk factors; daytime sleepiness; inflammation; pharynx;

   Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by snoring, apneas and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Obesity is a risk factor for snoring and sleep apnea, but data on other factors in relation to obesity are ambiguous. Symptoms of sleep apnea in women have not been fully elucidated. LÄS MER

7. 5. Treatment effects with a mandibular advancement appliance and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in obstructive sleep apnea -randomised controlled trials-

   Författare :Marie-Louise Walker-Engström; Elisabeth Hultcrantz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; oral appliance; dental appliance; obstructive sleep apnea; UPPP; quality of life; somnography; randomised controlled trial; one-year follow-up; four-year follow-up; severe obstructive sleep apnea; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Enthusiasm for uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) in the treatment of mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has declined in recent years, partly because of a lower success rate over time and partly because of adverse effects. In more severe cases, the patients are generally treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). LÄS MER
