Comparison of nasal prong pressure and thermistor measurements for detecting respiratory events during sleep
|
|
Thermistor (TH) measurements have been traditionally used to determine airflow during polysomnographic studies (PSG). However, low accuracy in detecting hypopneas is a major drawback. Nasal prong pressure (NPP) measurements are becoming increasingly popular for quantifying respiratory events during sleep... |

Signal failure of type 2 comprehensive unattended sleep studies in patients with suspected respiratory sleep disordered breathing
|
|
We designed this study to assess the signal failure and sensor loss of unattended type 2 comprehensive polysomnography (PSG) and compared that with in-lab attended PSG. Type 2 PSG was performed for 41 patients. The signal failure was estimated and compared to the signal failure in 60 patients for the in-lab PSGs... |
Assessment of sleep patterns, daytime sleepiness, and chronotype during Ramadan in fasting and nonfasting individuals
|
|
Sleep changes during Ramadan in nonfasting individuals have not been assessed before. We aimed to assess the effect of the attending lifestyle changes during Ramadan on sleep behavior and chronotype in fasting and nonfasting individuals... |
Comparison of clinico-radiological features of patients with positive cultures of nontuberculous mycobacteria and patients with tuberculosis
|
|
To identify the clinico-radiological features of patients with positive cultures for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and compare those to a sample of patients with tuberculosis (MTB)... |
Behaviour and time-course of sleep disordered breathing in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
|
|
To our knowledge, no study has examined the persistence of sleep disordered breathing in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. We examined the time course of SDB in ACS patients by assessing them within days of the acute event and again after 6 months. Consecutive patients with ACS were asked to voluntarily participate in the study... |
