Background Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with considerable health risks. Although
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can mitigate these risks, effectiveness can be …

Insomnia is a common and clinically important problem. It may arise directly from a sleep-wake
regulatory dysfunction and/or indirectly result from comorbid psychiatric, behavioral, …

Objectives/Hypothesis: Previous feasibility studies have shown that electrical stimulation of
the hypoglossal nerve can improve obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The current study …

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we assessed the efficacy of a new method (expansion sphincter
pharyngoplasty [ESP]) to treat obstructive sleep apnea. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a …

Objective To present 5-year outcomes from a prospective cohort of patients with obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) who were treated with upper airway stimulation (UAS) via a unilateral …

Objective To describe the 36-month clinical and polysomnography (PSG) outcomes in an
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) cohort treated with hypoglossal cranial nerve upper airway …

The pathophysiologic events that lead to the loss of airway compensation in obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) are poorly understood. The development of airway instability may be …

Multiple site specific procedures have been proposed to treat obstructive sleep apnea
syndrome (OSAS). Midline glossectomy (MLG) is a procedure that directly enlarges the …

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is used to treat patients with the obstructive
sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The current standard is for an attendant technician to titrate …

Objectives We wished to determine the independent contribution of craniofacial dimensions
of the upper airway to sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in subjects who spanned the entire …
