Association between obstructive sleep apnea and hyperuricemia/gout in the general population: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Hyperuricemia and gout may be associated with OSA, but large-scale studies on this are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between hyperuricemia/gout and OSA using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES).

Relationship between REI and PSA in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a prospective case-control study.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea has been associated with various urinary system diseases, including prostatic hyperplasia and nocturia. Recently, it has been linked to prostate cancer. This study investigated the relationship between the apnea hypopnea index, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and changes in PSA.

Basic Science and Pathogenesis.

Background: Obesity is caused by the buildup of excess body fat, which upsets homeostasis. Genetic, epigenetic, and behavioural variables all have a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. In turn, obesity throws off the sleep cycle, leading to sleep problems.

Basic Science and Pathogenesis.

Background: Women are at increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to men. Given research supporting up to 40% of AD cases as preventable with lifestyle modification, midlife represents a critical time of life to intervene on dementia risks; however, little research has examined women-specific presentation of risk at midlife, or how menopause staging may impact risk presentation. The aim of this study was to assess dementia risk profiles in women at risk for AD due to family history, including self-reported and lab-based modifiable risks, and to determine the role of menopause on risk presentation.

Anatomic Changes of Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome at Different Stages.

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the changes in the anatomic structures of individuals with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) classified according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).

Materials And Methods: Individuals were divided into groups as group 1 (AHI=0, n=20), group 2 (AHI ˂5, n=20), group 3 (AHI=5-15, n=20), group 4 (AHI=16-30, n=20), group 5 (AHI ˃30, n=20). The individuals left lateral cervical vertebra radiographs were taken.
