In this study, recognition of apnoeas by means of polysomnography (PSG) and nocturnal respiratory sound recordings in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) was analyzed and compared. In 45 patients with OSA requiring treatment (AHI > 15/h), concomitant polysomnographic recordings and long term respiratory sound recordings by means of LEOSound were performed. Patients' average age was 58 ± 12 years (mean ± standard deviation), average BMI was 33 ± 7 kg/m. Audio-visual apnoea detection by LEOSound was compared to polysomnographic apnoea detection. Increased artifact rate due to dislocation of microphones led to rejection of 11 out of 45 recordings for detailed analysis. Comparison of apnea detection by audio-visual analysis and polysomnography yielded a median of 164 apneas for LEOSound recordings and 158 apneas for PSG. Median apnoea index (AI) was calculated to be 20/h for respiratory sounds recording and 21/h for PSG. The correlation of apnea indices from acoustic long term registration and PSG was 0.939 (p < 0.001). Acoustic long term registration of primary and secondary respiratory sounds is also capable to recognize apnoeas. Exact differentiation between apnoeas and hypopnoeas is only possible in a limited fashion.

Effect of lemborexant on sleep architecture in participants with insomnia disorder and mild obstructive sleep apnea.
Sleep Med

Eisai Inc., 200 Metro Blvd, Nutley, NJ, 07110, USA.
Objective/background: Comorbid insomnia with obstructive sleep apnea (COMISA) is associated with worse daytime function and more medical/psychiatric comorbidities vs either condition alone. COMISA may negatively impact sleep duration and reduce rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, thereby impairing cognition. These post-hoc analyses evaluated the effect of lemborexant (LEM), a dual-orexin-receptor antagonist approved for adults with insomnia, on sleep architecture in participants with COMISA.

REDT: a specialized transformer model for the respiratory phase and adventitious sound detection.

Nanchang University, 1st Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, 330031, CHINA.
Background And Objective: In contrast to respiratory sound classification, respiratory phase and adventitious sound event detection provides more detailed and accurate respiratory information, which is clinically important for respiratory disorders. However, current respiratory sound event detection models mainly use convolutional neural networks to generate frame-level predictions. A significant drawback of the frame-based model lies in its pursuit of optimal frame-level predictions rather than the best event-level ones.

Ethical Dilemmas in Clinical Trials of Innovations in Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Models in Resource-Limited Neonatal Care.
J Paediatr Child Health
January 2025
Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, Bengaluru, India.
Background: Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (bCPAP) has become a crucial intervention in neonatal care, particularly in resource-limited settings where access to advanced respiratory support is scarce. While bCPAP offers a cost-effective solution for neonatal respiratory distress, conducting clinical trials in these settings presents significant ethical challenges. Issues of justice, beneficence, and autonomy arise due to disparities in healthcare infrastructure, complexities surrounding informed consent, and the potential exploitation of vulnerable populations.
