Abstract: Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (TECSA) is a distinct form of sleep-disordered breathing characterized by the development of central sleep apnea during the initiation of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The exact mechanisms of TECSA are not...

Abstract:  Background: Food restriction has been demonstrated to increase alertness in different species and to increase levels of the wake-promoting neurotransmitter orexin. We hypothesized that...

Abstract: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used in the treatment of acute respiratory failure (ARF).
