Benzodiazepines (BDZs) and non-BDZ sedative-hypnotics are effective for the management of chronic insomnia; however, they are associated with adverse effects such as headache, dizziness, and palpitations. Furthermore, long-term...
Changes in left ventricular structure and function have been previously described in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to determine if these structural and functional cardiac changes are reversible after...
To study the effects of mean apnea-hypopnea duration (MAD), a useful indicator of blood oxygenation, on peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), macular ganglion cell to inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) and macular retinal...
CPAP adherence is often poor in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and may be influenced by nasal resistance. CPAP with reduction of expiratory pressure (CPAP) may reduce discomfort in those with high nasal resistance and improve...
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is considered a common clinical condition often associated with relevant suicidal ideation and characterized by a severe functional impairment lifetime. Among the available drugs for the TRD...
The paired microbiome of adenoids and tonsils in pediatric patients with snoring has rarely been reported, and its correlation with clinical characteristics has not been evaluated till date. The aim of this study was to identify...
