Study Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the independent association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) using overnight polysomnography and left ventricular (LV) scar using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late-gadolinium enhancement in a community-based cohort of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
Methods: Our analytical sample includes 934 participants from the fifth examination of the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis who underwent both polysomnography and CMR. SDB was categorized as follows: no-SDB (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] < 5 events/h), mild SDB (5 events/h ≤ AHI < 15 events/h), and moderate-severe SDB (AHI ≥ 15 events/h). LV scar was considered present if there was presence of scar on CMR (late-gadolinium enhancement > 0%). Logistic regression with multivariable adjustment for confounders (age, sex, race/ethnicity, body mass index, and cardiometabolic risk factors) was used to examine the independent association of SDB with LV scar. Confounders were identified using directed acyclic graphs.
Results: The mean age of our sample was 67.0 ± 8.5 years (SD), with 49% (n = 461) females and a prevalence of SDB (AHI ≥ 5 events/h) of 63% (n = 590). LV scar was more prevalent in individuals with SDB (9.5%) versus those without SDB (3.8%; P < .01), and 88% of all LV scars were clinically unrecognized. After multivariable adjustment, both mild SDB and moderate-severe SDB were independently associated with LV scar (odds ratio, 2.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-5.64 and odds ratio, 2.31; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-5.24, respectively).
Conclusions: In a community-based cohort, SDB (including mild) is independently associated with a more than 2-fold increase in the odds of LV scar presence measured using CMR with late-gadolinium enhancement. Most LV scars were clinically unrecognized. The impact of SDB treatment on subclinical myocardial infarction needs to be investigated in future studies.

Objective: To retrospectively describe the management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) via permanent (crico)tracheostomy (PT).
Methods: The sample was 3 client-owned dogs. Each of the dogs had variable clinical signs related to their SDB with all having severely affected quality of sleep and experiencing multiple apneic episodes a night in the study period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023.

Background: Sleep is essential to maintaining health and wellbeing of individuals, influencing a variety of outcomes from mental health to cardiometabolic disease. This study aims to assess the relationships between various sleep-related phenotypes and blood metabolites.
Methods: Utilising data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, we performed association analyses between 40 sleep-related phenotypes, grouped in several domains (sleep disordered breathing (SDB), sleep duration, sleep timing, self-reported insomnia symptoms, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), and heart rate during sleep), and 768 metabolites measured via untargeted metabolomics profiling.

Objectives: The vomer is an essential component of the nasopharynx. Although variations in vomer width(VW) and nasopharyngeal width(NW) can be observed, their clinical significance on post-adenoidectomy outcomes in children with sleep-disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea(SDB-OSA) remains uncertain. The primary outcome was to investigate the association between VW and post-adenoidectomy clinical improvement.

Article Synopsis
- Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a risk factor for stroke and Alzheimer’s disease, particularly among Hispanic/Latino adults, highlighting the need for research on its impact on brain health in this demographic.
- This study, based on the Hispanic Community Health Study, analyzed the association between SDB and brain MRI measures in a diverse group of Hispanic/Latino adults, using data from 2,667 participants with neuroimaging conducted about 10 years after initial sleep assessments.
- Results indicated that higher respiratory event index (REI) correlated with larger hippocampal volumes, while lower oxygen levels during sleep were related to expanded white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volumes, suggesting complex relationships between SDB, oxygen
