Newest firstBackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a wide range of comorbidities, but large-scale phenome-wide analyses in clinical biobanks remain under-reported. In this study, we identified common comorbidities enriched in patients with OSA, tested the temporality of these associations, and analyzed relevant associations with summary sleep recording data. Methods48,251 participants with OSA in the Mass…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent and potentially severe sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. Machine learning models have been increasingly applied in various aspects of OSA research, including diagnosis, treatment optimization, and developing biomarkers for endotypes and disease mechanisms. ObjectiveThis narrative review evaluates the application…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an amphipathic molecule with innate biological activity that also is used to dissolve both polar and nonpolar compounds in preclinical and clinical studies. Recent investigations of dronabinol, a cannabinoid, dissolved in DMSO demonstrated decreased sleep apnea frequency and time spent in REM sleep in rats. Here, we tested the effects of dronabinol dissolved in 25% DMSO di…
Open article record in new tab ↗The use of cannabis products to help with sleep and various other medical conditions by the public has increased significantly in recent years. Withdrawal from cannabinoids can lead to sleep disturbance. Here, we describe a patient who developed significant insomnia leading to worsening anxiety, mood, and suicidal ideation in the setting of medical cannabis withdrawal, prompting presentation to the Emergency Depar…
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by dystonia, cognitive deficits, and an asymmetric akinetic-rigid syndrome. Little information is available regarding anesthetic management for CBD patients. Our patient was a 55-year-old man with CBD complicated by central sleep apnea (CSA). Due to the risk of perioperative breathing instability associated with anesthetic use, a lar…
Open article record in new tab ↗Respiratory activity is controlled by inputs from the peripheral and central chemoreceptors. Since overactivity of the carotid bodies, the main peripheral chemoreceptors, is linked to the pathophysiology of disparate metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, carotid body denervation (CBD) has been proposed as a potential treatment. However, long-term effects of CBD on the respiratory rhythm and regularity of breathin…
