Screening for sleep-disordered breathing in people with type 1 diabetes by combining polysomnography with glucose variability assessment.

Aims: There are few published data on sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Here, we used a combination of polysomnography and glucose variability assessment to screen for SDB.

Methods: In a prospective, single-centre study, adults with T1DM underwent polysomnography and continuous glucose monitoring during a single night.

Short-Term Assessment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Remission Rate after Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Cohort Study.

Background: Severe obesity is associated with a high prevalence of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). Bariatric surgery has been shown to effectively reduce excess weight and comorbidities.

Methods: We evaluated the remission rate of moderate-to-severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15) following sleeve gastrectomy.

Multiple reversible MRI abnormalities associated with SESA syndrome.

The authors report the imaging findings in a patient with a long history of alcoholism, who presented with delirium and recurrent left hemiparesis meeting the criteria of subacute encephalopathy with seizures in alcoholics (SESA) syndrome. MRI revealed fully reversible signal intensities (T2, diffusion-weighted imaging with a decreased apparent coefficient) throughout the right hemisphere. This case suggests that the MRI characteristics of SESA syndrome resemble those of status epilepticus.
