Sleep disturbances and progression of mobility disability: Longitudinal findings from the Nurses' Health Study.
Sleep Epidemiol
December 2024
Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Objective: To examine longitudinal associations between self-reported sleep disturbances and mobility disability progression among women, including subgroups with multiple sclerosis (MS), diabetes, and osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Prospective cohort study using data from Nurses' Health Study long-form questionnaires (2008, 2012, 2014, 2016). Logistic regression was used to quantify associations between sleep-related variables at baseline and subsequent increase in mobility disability.
A Triple Threat: A Case Report Detailing Surgical Management for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Flail Mitral Valve and Severe Pulmonary Hypertension.
Reports (MDPI)
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.
Unlabelled: The combination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with outflow tract obstruction, severe pre-capillary and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, and severe primary mitral regurgitation is rare and presents distinct management challenges.
Background And Clinical Significance: Pulmonary hypertension is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy managed medically and often precludes patients from undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass due to increased surgical morbidity and mortality. In studies specifically evaluating surgical myectomy, however, survival is favorable in patients with moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension.
Hygrometry behavior during high-flow nasal oxygen therapy and non-invasive mechanical ventilation: A narrative review of bench to clinical studies.
J Intensive Med
October 2024
Intensive Care Unit, Hospital Morales Meseguer, Murcia, Spain.
Recently, there has been growing interest in knowing the best hygrometry level during high-flow nasal oxygen and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and its potential influence on the outcome. Various studies have shown that breathing cold and dry air results in excessive water loss by nasal mucosa, reduced mucociliary clearance, increased airway resistance, reduced epithelial cell function, increased inflammation, sloughing of tracheal epithelium, and submucosal inflammation. With the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic, using high-flow nasal oxygen with a heated humidifier has become an emerging form of non-invasive support among clinicians.

Madison ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery, New York, New York, USA.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and durability of temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) treatment of the nasal valve in patients with severe or extreme nasal airway obstruction (NAO).
Study Design: A long-term, prospective, multicenter, single-blind, randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Sixteen otolaryngologic clinics and academic centers.
Obstructive sleep apnea in bariatric surgery patients: a population-based study.
Sleep Breath
January 2025
Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact (HEI), McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Purpose: A high proportion of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains undiagnosed. The main objectives of this study were to measure the prevalence of diagnosed OSA and determine OSA predictors in patients who underwent bariatric surgery, who are predominantly female and pre-menopausal and represent an understudied population in OSA literature.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional population-based study using the Ontario Bariatric Registry (OBR) from 2010 to 2016, linked to ICES databases which include health administrative data on all encounters within a single public-payer system.
