Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) in pregnant women is an under-diagnosed but common condition, due to the numerous physiological changes favoring upper airway collapse. Risk factors such as significant weight gain during the 1st trimester, maternal age and parity should be systematically investigated. Diagnosis is made by sleep recording. OSA can lead to maternal and fetal complications (gestational diabetes, eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, prematurity…) during pregnancy, delivery and the post-partum period. It is therefore essential to treat apneic patients as early as possible in pregnancy. Treatment includes hygienic and dietary measures, as well as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Systematic post-partum follow-up with polygraphic monitoring should be proposed.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of mandibular setback surgery exceeding 5 mm on upper airway and sleep quality in skeletal Class III patients, with comparisons to Class I controls. Sixteen individuals per group were selected based on their ANB angle and surgical need. 2D and 3D airway analyses were conducted.

Study Objectives: It is unknown whether loudness of snoring or hypoxic burden are related to higher hyperactivity scores in habitually snoring children and whether this effect is impacted by the severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). This study investigates the prevalence of hyperactivity in children with habitual snoring and the independent effects of loudness of snoring, as reported by the parents, hypoxic burden and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome's severity (OSAS) on hyperactivity, as measured by the Conners' Parent Rating Scale-Hyperactivity Index (CPRS-HI).
Methods: Children with habitual snoring aged 3-18 years were recruited for an overnight polysomnography reporting apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and hypoxic burden, acoustic rhinometry, clinical examination and parental questionnaires assessing snoring loudness and CPRS-HI.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder linked to significant daytime sleepiness and mood disturbances. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the standard treatment for OSA, but its effects on mental health outcomes, are not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of CPAP on daytime sleepiness, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms while assessing how improvements vary with age.

One notable neuropsychological effect observed in OSA patients is memory impairment (2,5). Additionally, some reports suggest that OSA may be associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) (4).

Background: Aging is associated with disruptions in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and memory decline. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) increases with age and is associated with clinical sleep disturbance, but little is known about its relationship with local expression of NREM sleep. Here, we explore associations between CSVD burden, memory, and local electroencephalography (EEG) measures during NREM sleep in older adults.
