AI Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome involves symptoms like irregular snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, and frequent awakenings at night.
- Poor sleep quality can lead to daytime issues like decreased attention, concentration, and work performance, potentially causing accidents.
- It's crucial to identify those with this condition since effective treatments exist, but many cases remain unrecognized in Denmark, with varying access to diagnosis and treatment across the country.
Article Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is characterized by irregular snoring during sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness and in some cases unwanted sleep attacks. The patient has a disturbed night sleep with numerous wakenings. Disturbed sleep at night causes daytime problems with attention, concentration and work performance. Furthermore, it may eventually result in errors and accidents. Excessive sleepiness sometimes necessitates the suspension of the patient's driving license. It is of importance to identify patients with obstructive sleep apnoea and daytime sleepiness, because the condition can be treated effectively. Many Danish patients are still unidentified. Diagnostic and treatment possibilities vary from one part of Denmark to another.

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.

Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) represents one of the main molecules involved in inflammatory responses, which can be altered in either patients with cognitive impairment or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The present study aimed to evaluate serum IL-6 levels and cognitive performance in patients with severe OSA (Apnea-Hypopnea Index - AHI >30/h).
Methods: Thirty patients with severe OSA were compared to 15 controls similar in age, sex, and Body Mass Index.

It's interesting to note that despite clinical improvements in upper airway dimensions, the maxillary, mandibular, and mandibular body lengths remained smaller than those of controls. This finding may represent an underlying neurocristopathy, which represents a deficiency in the population of neural crest cells available in the embryonic maxillary and mandibular processes de novo. Indeed, it is known that craniofacial dimensions in infants with malformations, such as cleft palate, are often smaller when compared to non-cleft counterparts.

Objectives: To assess the safety, reliability and acceptability of the modified incremental step test (MIST) supervised remotely via videoconferencing in adults with chronic respiratory disease.
Methods: Adults with chronic respiratory disease undertaking pulmonary rehabilitation were invited to undertake the MIST under two testing conditions: in-person supervision and remote supervision via video-conferencing. Test order was randomised.
