We introduce an entropy-based classification method for pairs of sequences (ECPS) for quantifying mutual dependencies in heart rate and beat-to-beat blood pressure recordings. The purpose of the method is to build a classifier for data in which each item consists of two intertwined data series taken for each subject. The method is based on ordinal patterns and uses entropy-like indices. Machine learning is used to select a subset of indices most suitable for our classification problem in order to build an optimal yet simple model for distinguishing between patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea and a control group.

Menopause and obstructive sleep apnea: revealing an independent mediating role of visceral fat beyond body mass index.

BMC Endocr Disord

January 2025

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, 430060, China.

Background: Menopause is a significant phase in women's health, in which the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is significantly increased. Body fat distribution changes with age and hormone levels in postmenopausal women, but the extent to which changes in body fat distribution affect the occurrence of OSA is unclear.

Methods: This research performed a cross-sectional analysis utilizing data from the 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Polysomnography (PSG) is crucial for diagnosing sleep disorders, but manual scoring of PSG is time-consuming and subjective, leading to high variability. While machine-learning models have improved PSG scoring, their clinical use is hindered by the 'black-box' nature. In this study, we present SleepXViT, an automatic sleep staging system using Vision Transformer (ViT) that provides intuitive, consistent explanations by mimicking human 'visual scoring'.

To analyze the occurrence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and related inflammatory indicators in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and explore the risk factors of MAFLD. A cross-sectional study. From January 2022 to October 2024,172 patients with sleep disorders were enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University,including 38 patients with non-OSAHS,53 patients with mild OSAHS,37 patients with moderate OSAHS,and 44 patients with severe OSAHS.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy for the treatment of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Methods: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched from inception to December 2023. We included all studies of children with OSA and NE who underwent adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy.

Background And Objectives: Huge clinical and research gaps exist concerning the epidemiology, natural history, availability, and accessibility of care for sleep disorders in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study aimed to profile the characteristics of patients referred for polysomnography and the frequencies of sleep disorders encountered at the new sleep laboratory in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective hospital-based descriptive observational study was conducted at the Aga Khan Hospital Dar es Salaam.
