Association between obstructive sleep apnea and arrhythmia and heart rate variability among hypertensive patients.

Background: The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the occurrence of arrhythmias and heart rate variability (HRV) in hypertensive patients is not elucidated. Our study investigates the association between OSA, arrhythmias, and HRV in hypertensive patients.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis involving hypertensive patients divided based on their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) into two groups: the AHI ≤ 15 and the AHI > 15.

Mining and exploration of appendicitis nursing targets: An observational study.

Appendicitis is an inflammation caused by obstruction of the appendiceal lumen or termination of blood supply leading to appendiceal necrosis followed by secondary bacterial infection. The relationship between TYROBP gene and the nursing of appendicitis remains unclear. The appendicitis dataset GSE9579 profile was downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database generated from GPL571.

The study of the relationship between moderate to severe sleep obstructive apnea and cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression.

Objective: The present study endeavored to investigate the interconnection between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cognitive function, alongside the manifestations of depression and anxiety. Simultaneously, an analysis was conducted to discern the factors exerting influence upon cognitive function.

Methods: A cohort of 102 patients, who had undergone polysomnography (PSG) at Binhu Hospital, Anhui Medical University, between January 2022 and June 2023, was encompassed in the study.

MYC and NCAPG2 as molecular targets of colorectal cancer and gastric cancer in nursing.

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in intestinal tract, the early symptoms are not obvious. Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the gastric mucosal epithelium. However, the role of MYC and non-SMC condensin II complex subunit G2 (NCAPG2) in colorectal cancer and gastric cancer remains unclear.

The effects of obstructive sleep apnea on blood pressure variability and load in patients with hypertension.

Background: Hypertension frequently coexists with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and their interplay substantially impacts the prognosis of affected individuals. Investigating the influence of OSA on blood pressure variability (BPV) and blood pressure load (BPL) in hypertensive patients has become a focal point of clinical research.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited hypertensive patients (n = 265) without discrimination and classified them into four groups based on their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): control group (n = 40), AHI < 5; mild group (n = 74), 5 ≤ AHI ≤ 15; moderate group (n = 68), 15 < AHI ≤ 30; severe group (n = 83), AHI > 30.
