Gender-specific anthropometric markers of adiposity, metabolic syndrome and visceral adiposity index (VAI) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Mazzuca E, Battaglia S, Marrone O, Marotta AM, Castrogiovanni A, Esquinas C, Barcelò A, Barbé F, Bonsignore MR. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea often coexists with visceral adiposity and metabolic syndrome. In this study, we analysed gender-related differences in...
Relationship between aldosterone and the metabolic syndrome in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome: effect of continuous positive airway pressure treatment.
Barceló A, Piérola J, Esquinas C, de la Peña M, Arqué M, Alonso-Fernández A, Bauçà JM, Robles J, Barceló B, Barbé F. Abstract BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MS) occurs frequently in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). We hypothesized that...
Floppy eyelid syndrome as an indicator of the presence of glaucoma in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Muniesa M, Sánchez-de-la-Torre M, Huerva V, Lumbierres M, Barbé F. Abstract PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to investigate whether floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) could be an indicator of glaucoma in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A...
Effect of CPAP on blood pressure in patients with minimally symptomatic obstructive sleep apnoea: a meta-analysis using individual patient data from four randomised controlled trials.
Bratton DJ, Stradling JR, Barbé F, Kohler M. Abstract BACKGROUND: CPAP reduces blood pressure (BP) in patients with symptomatic obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Whether the same benefit is present in patients with minimally symptomatic OSA is unclear, thus a...
Effect of CPAP on blood pressure in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and resistant hypertension: the HIPARCO randomized clinical trial.
Martínez-García MA, Capote F, Campos-Rodríguez F, Lloberes P, Díaz de Atauri MJ, Somoza M, Masa JF, González M, Sacristán L, Barbé F, Durán-Cantolla J, Aizpuru F, Mañas E, Barreiro B, Mosteiro M, Cebrián JJ, de la Peña M, García-Río F, Maimó A, Zapater J, Hernández C,...
Chronic intermittent hypoxia preserves bone density in a mouse model of sleep apnea.
Torres M, Montserrat JM, Pavía J, Dalmases M, Ros D, Fernandez Y, Barbé F, Navajas D, Farré R. Abstract Very recent clinical research has investigated whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may modulate bone homeostasis but the few data available are conflicting. Here...
The relationship between floppy eyelid syndrome and obstructive sleep apnoea.
Muniesa MJ, Huerva V, Sánchez-de-la-Torre M, Martínez M, Jurjo C, Barbé F. Abstract PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of eyelid hyperlaxity and floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), and the presence of OSA in FES. PARTICIPANTS: One-hundred...
Ambulatory monitoring in the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.
Corral-Peñafiel J, Pepin JL, Barbe F. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder associated with complications such as arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and traffic accidents. The resources allocated for OSA are insufficient...
The use of ambulatory strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in adults.
Chiner E, Andreu AL, Sancho-Chust JN, Sánchez-de-la-Torre A, Barbé F. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder associated with complications such as arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and traffic...
Obstructive sleep apnoea and cardiovascular disease.
Sánchez-de-la-Torre M, Campos-Rodriguez F, Barbé F. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common health concern caused by repeated episodes of collapse of the upper airway during sleep. The events associated with OSA lead to brain arousal, intrathoracic...
Vitamin D status and parathyroid hormone levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Barceló A, Esquinas C, Piérola J, De la Peña M, Sánchez-de-la-Torre M, Montserrat JM, Marín JM, Duran J, Arqué M, Bauça JM, Barbé F. Abstract BACKGROUND: Vitamin D insufficiency and high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) appear to be emerging risk factors for...
The influence of obesity and obstructive sleep apnea on metabolic hormones.
Sánchez-de-la-Torre M, Mediano O, Barceló A, Piérola J, de la Peña M, Esquinas C, Miro A, Durán-Cantolla J, Agustí AG, Capote F, Marin JM, Montserrat JM, García-Río F, Barbé F. Abstract BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder...
