Objective: To investigate the association between the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in hypertension and insulin.

Methods: A total of 521 patients were divided into 4 groups according to apnea-hypopnea index and OSAHS degrees. The control group (group I), mild OSAHS group (group II), moderate OSAHS group (group III) and severe OSAHS group (group IV) had 89 patients, 194 patients, 118 patients and 120 patients respectively.

Results: The BMI [(30.4 ± 3.8) kg/m(2)], apnea-hypopnea index (AHI, 3.8 ± 0.1), Fasting insulin (FIns) [(3.08 ± 0.26) mU/L] and insulin resistance (2.43 ± 0.27) of patients in severe OSAHS group were significantly higher than that of in the control, mild OSAHS group and moderate OSAHS group (P < 0.01). The levels of saturation of minimum oxygen from skin of patients in severe OSAHS group was significantly lower (MSpO(2)) than in that of the control, mild OSAHS group and moderate OSAHS group. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that fasting plasma insulin and insulin resistance was positive correlation with apnea-hypopnea index, while they also negatively associated with saturation of minimum oxygen.

Conclusions: FIns and insulin resistance strongly associate with AHI and levels of saturation of minimum oxygen from skin. Hypertensive patients with OSAHS have more chances to suffer with insulin resistance.

Objectives: To investigate the association of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) severity with cardiometabolic and inflammatory markers independently of the adiposity levels; and to explore the role of cardiorespiratory fitness in these associations in children with overweight/obesity.

Methods: A total of 109 children aged 8-11 years with overweight/obesity were included in this cross-sectional study. SDB was assessed using a scale of the reduce version of the Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire.

Effect of multi-level upper airway surgery on obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Zain Hospital, Kuwait City, Kuwait.

Purpose: Obesity is a major risk factor in Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is a prevalent disease that leads to significant morbidity. Multi-level Sleep Surgery (MLS) is a method of treatment for patients who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure. Obesity has previously been identified as a risk factor that may decrease the success rate of MLS.

Background: Increased attention has been focused on the association of periodontal disease with cardio-metabolic syndrome. Although the associations are multi-factorial, very few studies have explored the role of lipoprotein Apo A1 and Apo B100 with chronic periodontitis. Additionally, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a chronic multi-factorial respiratory disease, consists of a temporary decrease or cessation of breath for ≥ 10 seconds and leads to a reduction in blood oxygen saturation of more than 3% to 4% and/or neurological arousal.
