Published: January 2016

Obstructive sleep apnea consists in recurrent episodes of partial obstruction of the upper airways which can determine cessation of breathing during sleep causing intermittent hypoxia. The obstructive sleep disorders are encountered predominantly in obese patients with or without metabolic syndrome, that can affect the quality of life and life expectancy by increasing the cardiovascular risk of coronary artery disease, conductance disturbances, malignant arrhythmias, promoting atherogenic processes, determining sudden death and impairing several domains of cognitive function.

Objective: To investigate the effects of modified twin-block appliances (MTBA) on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and mandibular retrognathia and the changes in the upper airway, hyoid bone position, and hypoxia-related inflammatory marker levels in children with OSA.

Methods: This study included children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia and those with class I without mandibular retrognathia (n = 35 each). The experimental group comprised children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia managed using MTBA.

Aims: Accumulating studies have demonstrated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and inflammatory response in adipose tissue. Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) has been proved leading to M1 macrophage polarization that contributes to adipose tissue inflammation, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Epigenetic regulation of RNA has been found playing crucial roles in incremental diseases.

Objective: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) frequently suffer from migraine, however the causal relationship between OSA and migraine is unknown. Investigating the causation will assist in understanding the etiology of OSA and migraine.

Methods: Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) and multivariable MR (MVMR) approaches were carried out to investigate the causal link between OSA and migraine.
