The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea comorbid with diabetes is high while the awareness of diabetes is low. There is a strong need for new diagnostic biomarkers to detect diabetes at an early stage. Therefore, we aimed to establish an automatic,...

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) severity is currently assessed clinically using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), which is inconsistently associated with short- and long-term outcomes. Ventilatory, hypoxic, and arousal domains are known to exhibit abnorma...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep condition characterized by frequent pauses in breathing caused by the relaxation of muscles in the upper airway during sleep. These pauses manifest in changes observed in Chin Electromyography (EMG), ai...
OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound is a promising low-risk imaging modality that can provide objective airway measurements that may circumvent limitations of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). This study was devised to identify ultrasound-derived anatomical me...
Sleep posture is a key factor in assessing sleep quality, especially for individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), where the sleeping position directly affects breathing patterns: the side position alleviates symptoms, while the supine position...
BACKGROUND: The pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is still unknown, despite clinical reports linking the two conditions. After investigating potential roles for DM-related genes in the pathophysiology of OSA,...
BACKGROUND: Interventions leading to avoidance of supine position and thus reducing the likelihood of upper airway collapse during sleep are a treatment approach for positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA). The aim of this randomized cross-over tri...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder. Accurate sleep staging is one of the prerequisites in the study of sleep-related disorders and the evaluation of sleep quality. We introduce a novel GraphSleepFormer (GSF) network designed ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Undiagnosed or untreated moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases cardiovascular risks and mortality. Early and efficient detection is critical, given its high prevalence. We aimed to develop a practical and effici...
