Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent among older adults, particularly those over 65, and its relationship with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) requires further research for personalized treatment approaches.
- The study utilized a cross-sectional design involving male Vietnam War veteran twins to examine the link between PTSD symptoms and OSA, employing in-laboratory polysomnography for evaluation.
- Results indicated that a 15-point increase in PTSD symptom severity was correlated with a higher apnea-hypopnea index, suggesting that PTSD may significantly impact OSA severity.
Objective: To examine the effects of 30% oral dextrose on biochemical markers of pain, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) degradation, and oxidative stress in preterm neonates experiencing a clinically required heel lance.
Study Design: Utilizing a prospective study design, preterm neonates that met study criteria (n = 169) were randomized to receive either (1) 30% oral dextrose, (2) facilitated tucking, or (3) 30% oral dextrose and facilitated tucking 2 min before heel lance. Plasma markers of ATP degradation (hypoxanthine, uric acid) and oxidative stress (allantoin) were measured before and after the heel lance.
Importance: An aging population experiences an increase in age-related problems, such as presbyphonia. The causes of pathologic presbyphonia are incompletely understood.
Objective: To determine what distinguishes pathologic presbyphonia from presbylaryngis.
