Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children is a manifestation of sleep-disordered breathing
and associated with a number of complications. Structural narrowing of the upper airway …

Purpose To compare the results obtained by using numerical flow simulations with the
results of combined single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed …

Patients with sleep related breathing disorders (SRBD) can be treated with nasal continuous
positive airway pressure (nCPAP) or with several upper airway (UA) interventions. While …

Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) have emerged as a popular alternative for the
treatment of sleep-disordered breathing. These devices bring the mandibula forward in order to …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is increasingly applied in the respiratory domain. The
ability to simulate the flow through a bifurcating tubular system has increased the insight into …

As anatomical correlates are not able to identify OSA in an individual, their main importance
might lie in the selection of the ideal treatment on a patient-specific basis. Several sources …

The effect of a bronchodilator in asthmatics is only partially described by changes in
spirometric values since no information on regional differences can be obtained. Imaging …

Study Objectives Upper airway stimulation has been shown to be an effective treatment for
some patients with obstructive sleep apnea. However, the mechanism by which hypoglossal …

… Vos are shareholders of FluidDA NV, a company that commercializes some of the techniques
used in this manuscript. FluidDA and investigators AB, HT and HJ have jointly developed …

Background Circadian disturbance (CD) is the consequence of a mismatch between
endogenous circadian rhythms, behaviour, and/or environmental cycles, and frequently occurs …
