Analysis of patients with obstructive sleep apnea with and without pharyngeal myopathy using brain neuroimaging.

Study Objectives: Elements impairing upper airway anatomy or muscle function (e.g. pharyngeal neuromyopathy) contribute to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

Quantitative EEG evaluation in patients with acute encephalopathy.

Objective: To investigate the use of quantitative EEG (qEEG) in patients with acute encephalopathies (AEs) and EEG background abnormalities.

Method: Patients were divided into favorable outcome (group A, 43 patients) and an unfavorable outcome (group B, 5 patients). EEGLAB software was used for the qEEG analysis.
