Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the occurrence and factors influencing sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in cystic fibrosis patients who underwent lung transplantation, identifying that out of 62 participants, 30 experienced SDB but mostly with mild severity.
- - Key predictors of SDB included older age, being male, and having smaller thoracic gas volume, and while there were some improvements in sleep quality post-transplant, the overall increase in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) raises questions about its clinical impact.
- - The findings suggest that while SDB is common in lung transplant recipients with cystic fibrosis, its severity tends to be mild, and specific demographics (older males with improved lung hyperinflation) may need closer monitoring for
Article Synopsis
- Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis (UDP) often occurs after cardiac surgery, particularly on the left side, but this case highlights a rare instance of right-sided UDP following endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
- A 60-year-old male patient was observed with breathing difficulties after his CABG, revealing diminished sounds in the right lung and a diagnosis of UDP and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS).
- The treatment plan included inspiratory muscle training and CPAP therapy to improve breathing and address the effects of OSAS, while also discussing the significance of ultrasound in diagnosing and monitoring diaphragmatic dysfunction post-surgery.
Wearable electroencephalography devices emerge as a cost-effective and ergonomic alternative to gold-standard polysomnography, paving the way for better health monitoring and sleep disorder screening. Machine learning allows to automate sleep stage classification, but trust and reliability issues have hampered its adoption in clinical applications. Estimating uncertainty is a crucial factor in enhancing reliability by identifying regions of heightened and diminished confidence.

Design: A 2-week, open-label at-home intervention study utilizing the DREEM2 headband to record sleep data and administer CLAS during SWS.
Setting And Participants: Fifteen older patients with AD (6 women, mean age: 76.
