Nocturnal Urinary Symptoms as Screening Tools for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Urogynecology (Phila)
April 2024
Article Synopsis
- Nocturnal lower urinary tract symptoms, like nocturia and nocturnal enuresis, could help screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients at urogynecology clinics.
- The study assessed how effective these symptoms are in identifying OSA, using a retrospective analysis of patients screened through established questionnaires and OSA testing.
- Results showed that nocturia (≥2 episodes per night) has good sensitivity (86.4%) and fair specificity (58.5%) for OSA screening, while nocturnal enuresis showed lower overall effectiveness, indicating that nocturia is more reliable for clinical decision-making regarding OSA referrals.
The retinogeniculate synapse transmits information from retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in the eye to thalamocortical relay neurons in the visual thalamus, the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN). Studies in mice have identified genetic markers for distinct classes of RGCs encoding different features of the visual space, facilitating the dissection of RGC subtype-specific physiology and anatomy. In this study, we examine the morphological properties of axon arbors of the BD-RGC class of ON-OFF direction selective cells that, by definition, exhibit a stereotypic dendritic arbor and termination pattern in the retina.
