Introduction: Understanding the diverse pathogenetic pathways in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is crucial for improving outcomes. microRNA (miRNA) profiling is a promising strategy for elucidating these mechanisms.

Objective: To characterize the pathogenetic pathways linked to OSA through the integration of miRNA profiles, machine learning (ML) and bioinformatics.

Article Synopsis
  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) significantly impacts cardiovascular event recurrence in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly in those without prior cardiovascular disease.
  • The study identified two groups based on the severity of OSA and utilized proteomics to analyze plasma proteins, revealing 24 differentially expressed proteins associated with OSA severity.
  • Bioinformatic analysis suggested that these proteins are involved in key molecular pathways related to immune function, cell signaling, and inflammation, linking OSA to adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

We present the case of a healthy young woman who consulted for left peripheral facial palsy associated with fever, dry cough, dyspnea, and asthenia of two weeks' evolution. Physical examination revealed hypoesthesia in left T6 to T12 dermatomes and bilateral galactorrhea. In the laboratory, she presented negative viral serology, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, antinuclear antibody titers, prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone, with positive antiperoxidase antibodies.

Background: Hypoxic burden (HB) has emerged as a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). We aimed to assess the potential of HB to predict the cardiovascular benefit of treating OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Methods: This was a analysis of the ISAACC trial (ClinicalTrials.
