1. Indicadores de adiposidade como método de rastreamento para polissonografia em trabalhadores de turno
Resumo Objetivo: verificar o potencial discriminatório dos indicadores de adiposidade na predição da apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) em trabalhadores de turnos. Métodos: estudo transversal realizado em uma empresa de extração de minério de ferro, em Minas Gerais, Brasil. Dados antropométricos foram coletados e polissonografia (PSG) foi realizada

2. Managing obstructive sleep apnoea in children: the role of craniofacial morphology
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is a type of sleep-disordered breathing that affects 1 to 5% of all children. Pharyngeal and palatine tonsil hypertrophy is the main predisposing factor. Various abnormalities are predisposing factors for obstructive sleep apnoea, such as decreased mandibular and maxillary lengths, skeletal retrusion, increased lower facial

3. Interventions for primary (intrinsic) tracheomalacia in children
BACKGROUNDTracheomalacia, a disorder of the large airways where the trachea is deformed or malformed during respiration, is commonly seen in tertiary paediatric practice. It is associated with a wide spectrum of respiratory symptoms from life-threatening recurrent apnoea to common respiratory symptoms such as chronic cough and wheeze. Current practice follow

4. Cephalometric evaluation of pharyngeal airway space changes in class III patients undergoing orthognathic surgery : retrospective study / Avaliação cefalométrica das alterações da via aérea superior em pacientes classe III submetidos à cirurgia ortognática : estudo retrospectivo
The configuration and dimensions of the upper airway are determined by the anatomical structures such as soft tissue, muscles and craniofacial skeleton, which comprise or surround the pharynx. Anatomic abnormalities of the soft tissue and/or the craniofacial skeleton may narrow the upper airway leading to obstructive sleep apnea. Class III patients, after or

5. Indicação inicial no tratamento de disturbios ventilatorios obstrutivos do sono na casuistica de um serviço de otorrinolaringologia
The author presents a retrospective descriptive study of 60 patients with sleep obstructive ventilatory disturbance who have taken medical advice at the Centro Campinas de Otorinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço during a period of three years. All the patients have been examined after standardized protocol and decisions related to the treatment

6. Influence of lung volume in sleep apnoea.
The influence of a constant increase in functional residual capacity on apnoea characteristics was studied in patients with the sleep apnoea syndrome. Pulmonary inflation was achieved by applying a continuous negative extrathoracic pressure into a Poncho type respirator. Nine patients slept in the Poncho for two consecutive nights, negative extrathoracic pre

7. Cephalometric measurements in snorers, non-snorers, and patients with sleep apnoea.
Cephalometry is often used to assess patients with sleep apnoea but whether these measurements differ from those in non-apnoeic snorers and how they are influenced by age is not clear. Cephalometric radiographs of patients with sleep apnoea were compared with those of snorers without sleep apnoea and those of non-snorers. Fifty two snorers with suspected sle

8. Protriptyline in the treatment of sleep apnoea.
Nine patients with obstructive sleep apnoea were treated with 5 to 20 mg of protriptyline each night for two to 18 months. In four patients, there was dramatic, sustained improvement in symptoms and measured sleep quality and apnoea frequency and duration. There was no improvement in two patients and three developed intolerable side-effects preventing adequa

9. Effects of submental stimulation for several consecutive nights in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.
BACKGROUND--It has previously been reported that short term submental stimulation can reduce the frequency of apnoea and improve sleep architecture in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea. The effects of submental stimulation during consecutive nights on apnoea or on daytime sleepiness have not, however, been studied. METHODS--Patients with obstructive sle

10. Occupational exposure to organic solvents as a cause of sleep apnoea.
A high prevalence of sleep apnoea was found in a group of men occupationally exposed to organic solvents. Workers with long term exposure to organic solvents often report symptoms such as fatigue, forgetfulness, and concentration difficulties. These symptoms are strikingly similar to those reported by patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). T

11. Wrist actigraphic assessment of sleep in 116 community based subjects suspected of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.
BACKGROUND--The combined use of wrist actigraphic assessment and self assessment of sleep in the screening of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome was evaluated in a community based sample. METHODS--One hundred and sixteen community based subjects clinically suspected of having obstructive sleep apnoea (syndrome) were evaluated by means of simultaneous ambulato

12. Effects of acetazolamide in patients with the sleep apnoea syndrome.
There is as yet no convincing evidence that acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, is effective in obstructive sleep apnoea. A study was therefore designed to examine the effect of acetazolamide (250 mg/day) on sleep events and ventilatory control during wakefulness in nine patients with the sleep apnoea syndrome. In eight of the nine patients the ap
