This study aimed to analyze the effect of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on diabetic nephropathy (DN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 322 patients with T2DM participated in this cross-sectional study. OSAHS was diagnosed according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and it was categorized as follows: normal, mild, moderate, and severe. Relevant clinical data retrieved from medical charts were cross-analyzed between different groups. The relationship between urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR) and OSAHS parameters, which included AHI, lowest oxygen saturation (L-SaO), and mean oxygen saturation (M-SaO), was evaluated by partial correlation analysis. DN stages were classified into a non-DN group, a microalbuminuria group, and a macroalbuminuria group. Multiple factor logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze factors influencing DN. The results showed that mild OSAHS, moderate OSAHS, and severe OSAHS patients had a higher Body mass index (BMI), creatinine (CR) level, UACR, and a longer duration of T2DM (p < 0.05) than the non-OSAHS group. The prevalence of DN in the non-OSAHS, mild OSAHS, moderate OSAHS, and severe OSAHS groups was 18.4%, 19.2%, 34.6%, and 49.4%, respectively (p < 0.05). Multiple factor logistic regression analysis revealed that systolic blood pressure (SBP) (OR = 1.03), AHI (OR = 1.02), and duration of T2DM (OR = 1.04) were correlated with DN (p < 0.05). These findings revealed that OSAHS is highly prevalent in T2DM and AHI is independently associated with the presence of DN.

Background: Administering anesthesia to elderly patients undergoing gastroenteroscopy necessitates careful attention due to age-related physiological changes and an increased risk of complications.
Aim: To analyze the research trends in anesthesia management for elderly patients undergoing gastroenteroscopy.
Methods: We performed a literature search using the Web of Science database to identify articles published between 2004 and 2023.

Supracricoid partial laryngectomy is a surgical treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer which is implemented to preserve organ function, but it may cause obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) due to anatomical changes after surgery that may be neglected by clinicians. Although the gold standard for the diagnosis of OSAS is polysomnography, respiratory polygraphy is an alternative valid method with a high level of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity; since the equipment is portable, it can be used at home, with no need for hospitalization. To describe the polygraphy result of patients submitted to supracricoid partial laryngectomy.

Background: Remote patient monitoring implies continuous follow-up of health-related parameters of patients outside healthcare facilities. Patients share health-related data with their healthcare unit and obtain feedback (which may be automatically generated if data are within a predefined range). The goals of remote patient monitoring are improvements for patients and reduced healthcare costs.

Purpose: Opioid medications remain a common treatment for acute pain in hospitalized patients. This study aims to identify factors contributing to opioid overdose in the inpatient population, addressing the gap in data on which patients are at higher risk for opioid-related adverse events in the hospital setting.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of inpatients receiving at least one opioid medication was performed at a large academic medical center from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022.

Recent empirical investigations reinforce the understanding of a profound interconnection between metabolic functions and Obstructive Sleep Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS). This study identifies distinctive miRNA signatures in OSAHS with Metabolic Syndrome (Mets) patients from healthy subjects, that could serve as diagnostic biomarkers or describe differential molecular mechanisms with potential therapeutic implications. In this study, OSAHS with MetS patients showed significantly higher Apnea Hyponea Index(AHI), but lower oxygen desaturation index(ODI 4/h) and minimum pulse oxygen saturation(SpO).
