Abstract
Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disease caused by a third copy of chromosome 21, leading to various physical features, developmental and cognitive delays, and intellectual disability. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in children with DS, with severity reported to be inversely related to age and culminating in neonates. OSA causes intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia, which may have detrimental effects on health and development. Consequently, there are concerns about the impact of OSA on neurodevelopmental disorders associated with DS, particularly in neonates. Dp(16)1Yey mice, a genetically engineered model of DS, exhibit cognitive impairments and characteristics typically associated with OSA, including craniofacial hypoplasia and reduced upper airway volume in adulthood. To investigate the contribution of respiratory-related disorders to DS pathophysiology, we examined the cardio-respiratory phenotype of Dp(16)1Yey mice at birth, with special attention to OSA, using a pneumotachograph and a facemask combined with a laser abdominal profilometer to distinguish obstructive, central, and mixed apneas. Dp(16)1Yey mouse pups exhibited lower weight and heart rates compared to their wild-type counterparts. Baseline breathing variables and responses to hypercapnia were similar between the two groups. Obstructive apneas were observed in both Dp(16)1Yey and wild-type mice, but the total time spent in obstructive apneas was longer in Dp(16)1Yey mice, due to their longer mean duration. These findings highlight the relevance of the Dp(16)1Yey model for studying OSA in DS during the neonatal period and for investigating the contribution of early respiratory disorders to DS pathology.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Severe obstructive sleep apnea is prevalent in neonates with Down syndrome, but neonatal breathing disorders remain unexplored in mouse models. Using the Dp(16)1Yey model, we observed prolonged obstructive apneas and lower heart rates at birth in mutant pups compared to wild-type littermates. This preclinical model provides a novel platform to study neonatal obstructive sleep apnea in Down syndrome and its contribution to neurodevelopmental disorders associated with Down syndrome.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2025; 282:2679-2686. [PMID: 40087166 PMCID: PMC12055952 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-025-09270-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2025] [Indexed: 03/17/2025]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES α1-Antitrypsin deficiency is a disease characterized by increased neutrophil elastase activity leading to tissue getting less elastic and robust. It is known that if tissue in the pharynx becomes less elastic and robust, it could contribute to obstructive sleep apnea. This paper seeks to investigate whether patients with α1-antitrypsin deficiency have an increased risk of sleep apnea. METHODS We tested this hypothesis by doing a nationwide cohort study of 2702 individuals diagnosed with α1-antitrypsin deficiency compared with 26,750 individuals without α1-antitrypsin deficiency matched on sex, age, and municipality. All individuals were followed from birth and were censored at the time of outcome, emigration, death, or end of follow-up 31st of December 2018, whichever came first. RESULTS Individuals with α1-antitrypsin deficiency had a higher risk of sleep apnea with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.81 (95% CI 1.36-2.40) compared to controls without α1-antitrypsin deficiency. Similarly, the risk of obstructive sleep apnea was nominally higher in individuals with α1-antitrypsin deficiency compared to controls without the disease (1.47, 95% CI 0.95-2.28). In stratified analysis, the risk of sleep apnea was higher in individuals without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2.33, 95% CI 1.54-3.51) (P for interaction < 0.05). The increased risk of SA was unaffected when the analysis was stratified by ischemic heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and liver cirrhosis. CONCLUSION Individuals with α1-antitrypsin deficiency have a higher risk of sleep apnea in the Danish population.

Abstract
Sleep is a complex physiological state characterized by distinct stages, each exhibiting unique electroencephalographic patterns and physiological phenomena. Sleep research has unveiled the presence of intricate cyclic-periodic phenomena during both non-rapid eye movement and rapid eye movement sleep stages. These phenomena encompass a spectrum of rhythmic oscillations and periodic events, including cyclic alternating pattern, periodic leg movements during sleep, respiratory-related events such as apneas, and heart rate variability. This narrative review synthesizes empirical findings and theoretical frameworks to elucidate the dynamics, interplay and implications of cyclic-periodic phenomena within the context of sleep physiology. Furthermore, it invokes the clinical relevance of these phenomena in the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders.

Abstract
Breathing and sleep state are tightly linked. The traditional approach to evaluation of breathing in rapid eye movement sleep has been to focus on apneas and hypopneas, and associated hypoxia or hypercapnia. However, rapid eye movement sleep breathing offers novel insights into sleep physiology and pathology, secondary to complex interactions of rapid eye movement state and cardiorespiratory biology. In this review, morphological analysis of clinical polysomnogram data to assess respiratory patterns and associations across a range of health and disease is presented. There are several relatively unique insights that may be evident by assessment of breathing during rapid eye movement sleep. These include the original discovery of rapid eye movement sleep and scoring of neonatal sleep, control of breathing in rapid eye movement sleep, rapid eye movement sleep homeostasis, sleep apnea endotyping and pharmacotherapy, rapid eye movement sleep stability, non-electroencephalogram sleep staging, influences on cataplexy, mimics of rapid eye movement behaviour disorder, a reflection of autonomic health, and insights into cardiac arrhythmogenesis. In summary, there is rich clinically actionable information beyond sleep apnea encoded in the respiratory patterns of rapid eye movement sleep.

Abstract
This paper explores the progressive era of sleep monitoring, focusing on wearable and remote devices contributing to advances in the concept of home polysomnography. We begin by exploring the basic physiology of sleep, establishing a theoretical basis for understanding sleep stages and associated changes in physiological variables. The review then moves on to an analysis of specific cutting-edge devices and technologies, with an emphasis on their practical applications, user comfort, and accuracy. Attention is also given to the ability of these devices to predict neurological disorders, particularly Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The paper highlights the integration of hardware innovations, targeted sleep parameters, and partially advanced algorithms, illustrating how these elements converge to provide reliable sleep health information. By bridging the gap between clinical diagnosis and real-world applicability, this review aims to elucidate the role of modern sleep monitoring tools in improving personalised healthcare and proactive disease management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This retrospective cohort study examined clinically diagnosed insomnia and sleep apnea and analyzed associations with deployment and combat exposure in active-duty soldiers (n=1,228,346) from 2010 to 2019. METHODS Retrospective data were obtained from the Soldier Performance, Health, and Readiness database. RESULTS Overseas soldier deployments peaked in 2010, decreasing thereafter as soldiers were withdrawn from Iraq and Afghanistan. From 2010 to 2012 insomnia incidence increased at a rate of 6.7 cases/1000 soldier-years, then decreased after 2012 at 5.3 cases/1000 soldier-years. Sleep apnea increased 2010-2016 at 1.9 cases/1000 soldier-years and generally declined thereafter. Risk of insomnia increased with deployment (hazard ratio=1.51; 95% confidence interval=1.49-1.52) and combat exposure (hazard ratio=1.15; 95% confidence interval=1.13-1.17). Risk of sleep apnea was increased by deployment (hazard ratio=1.89; 95% confidence interval, 1.86-1.92) and combat exposure (hazard ratio=1.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.11). Most relationships remained after accounting for other factors in multivariable analyses, except that the association between sleep apnea and combat exposure was reduced (hazard ratio=0.94; 95% confidence interval=0.92-0.97). CONCLUSIONS Insomnia risk decreased in the period nearly in parallel with a reduction in the number of deployments; nonetheless deployment and combat exposure increased insomnia risk in the period examined. Risk of sleep apnea increased in the period and was related to deployment but not combat exposure after accounting for demographics and comorbid conditions. Despite reductions in insomnia incidence and a slowing in sleep apnea incidence, sleep disorders remain highly prevalent, warranting continued emphasis on sleep-disorder screening and improving the soldier sleep habits.

Abstract
Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is a respiratory disorder characterized by cessation of breathing during sleep, resulting in daytime somnolence and various comorbidities. SAHS encompasses obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by upper airway obstruction, and central sleep apnea (CSA), resulting from lack of brainstem signaling for respiration. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the gold standard treatment for SAHS, reducing apnea and hypopnea episodes by providing continuous airflow. CPAP enhances sleep quality and improves overall health by reducing the risk of comorbidities such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and stroke. CPAP nonadherence leads to health deterioration and occurs due to mask discomfort, unsupportive partners, upper respiratory dryness, and claustrophobia. Technological advancements such as auto-titrating positive airway pressure (APAP) systems, smart fit mask interface systems, and telemonitoring devices offer patients greater comfort and enhance adherence. Future research should focus on new technological developments, such as artificial intelligence, which may detect treatment failure and alert providers to intervene accordingly.

Abstract
Central sleep apnoea (CSA) is characterised by recurrent episodes of airway cessation or reduction in the absence of respiratory effort. Although CSA is less common than obstructive sleep apnoea, it shares similar symptoms. CSA can be secondary to various medical conditions, high altitude and medication exposure. CSA can also emerge during obstructive sleep apnoea therapy. There are a range of treatment options and selecting the right therapy requires an understanding of the pathophysiology of CSA. This review explores the aetiology, pathophysiology and clinical management of non-hypercapnic CSA.

Abstract
Defined as an elevated frequency of obstructive respiratory events in sleep, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is driven by a combination of four pathophysiologic mechanisms: elevated upper airway collapsibility, unstable ventilatory control, impaired upper airway dilator muscle responsiveness and decreased arousal threshold. Established therapies such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and oral appliance therapy (OAT) work chiefly through targeting elevated collapsibility, which affects the majority of OSA patients. However, many patients respond poorly or do not tolerate these 'anatomic' therapies. The emerging field of 'precision sleep medicine' seeks to determine if novel treatment approaches specifically targeting the other, 'non-anatomic' mechanisms will improve treatment efficacy and acceptance. In this review, we consider the concepts underlying each pathophysiologic mechanism, the predisposing factors, and the potential implications for established and future OSA treatments.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder that results in multiple bouts of intermittent hypoxia. OSA has many neurological and systemic comorbidities, including dysphagia, or disordered swallow, and discoordination with breathing. However, the mechanism in which chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) causes dysphagia is unknown. Recently, we showed the postinspiratory complex (PiCo) acts as an interface between the swallow pattern generator (SPG) and the inspiratory rhythm generator, the preBötzinger complex, to regulate proper swallow-breathing coordination (Huff et al., 2023). PiCo is characterized by interneurons co-expressing transporters for glutamate (Vglut2) and acetylcholine (ChAT). Here we show that optogenetic stimulation of ChATcre:Ai32, Vglut2cre:Ai32, and ChATcre:Vglut2FlpO:ChR2 mice exposed to CIH does not alter swallow-breathing coordination, but unexpectedly disrupts swallow behavior via triggering variable swallow motor patterns. This suggests that glutamatergic-cholinergic neurons in PiCo are not only critical for the regulation of swallow-breathing coordination, but also play an important role in the modulation of swallow motor patterning. Our study also suggests that swallow disruption, as seen in OSA, involves central nervous mechanisms interfering with swallow motor patterning and laryngeal activation. These findings are crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying dysphagia, both in OSA and other breathing and neurological disorders.

STUDY OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological events associated with sleep bruxism (Sleep Bruxism [SB]; presence of mandibular movement activity) and the control window (4 minutes prior to SB event, where no mandibular movement activity was detected) in a polysomnography study in children with mild sleep apnea. METHODS Polysomnography data from children aged 4 to 9 years old diagnosed with mild sleep apnea were analyzed by 2 trained examiners. The mandibular movement activity (bruxism event; SB) was classified into phasic and tonic. The control window was selected 4 minutes prior to the SB event. All physiological events were recorded in both bruxism and control windows, including sleep phase (N1, N2, N3, and rapid eye movement), arousal, leg movements, tachycardia, bradycardia, oxygen desaturation, and number of obstructive and central sleep apnea events. The moment in which those phenomena occurred when associated with SB was also analyzed (before/after). Data were analyzed using 95% confidence intervals (α = 5%). RESULTS A total of 661 mandibular movements were analyzed and classified as tonic (n = 372) or phasic (n = 289). The mean apnea-hypopnea index was 1.99 (SD = 1.27) events/h. The frequency of leg movements, microarousal, and tachycardia was increased in SB events when compared with the control window (P < .05). There was an increase in bradycardia frequency in the control window when compared with SB (in both tonic and phasic events). The frequency of obstructive and central apnea during SB was lower when compared with the other physiological phenomena. CONCLUSIONS There is a difference in the physiological parameters evaluated in children with mild sleep apnea when comparing the 2 windows (SB and control). Sleep bruxism is associated with other physiological phenomena, such as leg movements, tachycardia, and microarousal. The use of a control window (where no mandibular activity was detected) was representative since it did not show activation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder that results in multiple bouts of intermittent hypoxia. OSA has many neurologic and systemic comorbidities including dysphagia, or disordered swallow, and discoordination with breathing. However, the mechanism in which chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) causes dysphagia is unknown. Recently we showed the Postinspiratory complex (PiCo) acts as an interface between the swallow pattern generator (SPG) and the inspiratory rhythm generator, the preBötzinger Complex, to regulate proper swallow-breathing coordination (Huff et al., 2023). PiCo is characterized by interneurons co-expressing transporters for glutamate (Vglut2) and acetylcholine (ChAT). Here we show that optogenetic stimulation of ChATcre:Ai32, Vglut2cre:Ai32, and ChATcre:Vglut2FlpO:ChR2 mice exposed to CIH does not alter swallow-breathing coordination, but unexpectedly disrupts swallow behavior via triggering variable swallow motor patterns. This suggests, glutamatergic-cholinergic neurons in PiCo are not only critical for the regulation of swallow-breathing coordination, but also play an important role in the modulation of swallow motor patterning. Our study also suggests that swallow disruption, as seen in OSA, involves central nervous mechanisms interfering with swallow motor patterning and laryngeal activation. These findings are crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying dysphagia, both in OSA and other breathing and neurological disorders.

Abstract
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB), mostly constituting of obstructive and central sleep apnea (OSA and CSA, respectively), is highly prevalent in the general population, and even more among patients with cardiovascular disease, heart failure (HF) and valvular heart disease, such as mitral regurgitation (MR). The coexistence of HF, MR and SDB is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes and increased morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary congestion, as a result of MR, can exaggerate and worsen the clinical status and symptoms of SDB, while OSA and CSA, through various mechanisms that impair left ventricular dynamics, can promote left ventricular remodelling, mitral annulus dilatation and consequently MR. Regarding treatment, positive airway pressure devices used to ameliorate symptoms in SDB also seem to result in a reduction of MR severity, MR jet fraction and an improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction. However, surgical and transcatheter interventions for MR, and especially transcatheter edge to edge mitral valve repair (TEER), seem to also have a positive effect on SDB, by reducing OSA and CSA-related severity indexes and improving symptom control. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the common pathophysiology between SDB and MR, as well as to discuss the available evidence regarding the effect of SDB treatment on MR and the effect of mitral valve surgery or transcatheter repair on both OSA and CSA.

Front Physiol 2023; 14:1254679.

Abstract
Introduction: The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), defined as the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep, is still used as an important index to assess sleep disordered breathing (SDB) severity, where hypopneas are confirmed by the presence of an oxygen desaturation or an arousal. Ambulatory polygraphy without neurological signals, often referred to as home sleep apnea testing (HSAT), can potentially underestimate the severity of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) as sleep and arousals are not assessed. We aim to improve the diagnostic accuracy of HSATs by extracting surrogate sleep and arousal information derived from autonomic nervous system activity with artificial intelligence. Methods: We used polysomnographic (PSG) recordings from 245 subjects (148 with simultaneously recorded HSATs) to develop and validate a new algorithm to detect autonomic arousals using artificial intelligence. A clinically validated auto-scoring algorithm (Somnolyzer) scored respiratory events, cortical arousals, and sleep stages in PSGs, and provided respiratory events and sleep stages from cardio-respiratory signals in HSATs. In a four-fold cross validation of the newly developed algorithm, we evaluated the accuracy of the estimated arousal index and HSAT-derived surrogates for the AHI. Results: The agreement between the autonomic and cortical arousal index was moderate to good with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.73. When using thresholds of 5, 15, and 30 to categorize SDB into none, mild, moderate, and severe, the addition of sleep and arousal information significantly improved the classification accuracy from 70.2% (Cohen's κ = 0.58) to 80.4% (κ = 0.72), with a significant reduction of patients where the severity category was underestimated from 18.8% to 7.3%. Discussion: Extracting sleep and arousal information from autonomic nervous system activity can improve the diagnostic accuracy of HSATs by significantly reducing the probability of underestimating SDB severity without compromising specificity.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common breathing disorder in sleep in which the airways narrow or collapse during sleep, causing obstructive sleep apnea. The prevalence of OSAS continues to rise worldwide, particularly in middle-aged and elderly individuals. The mechanism of upper airway collapse is incompletely understood but is associated with several factors, including obesity, craniofacial changes, altered muscle function in the upper airway, pharyngeal neuropathy, and fluid shifts to the neck. The main characteristics of OSAS are recurrent pauses in respiration, which lead to intermittent hypoxia (IH) and hypercapnia, accompanied by blood oxygen desaturation and arousal during sleep, which sharply increases the risk of several diseases. This paper first briefly describes the epidemiology, incidence, and pathophysiological mechanisms of OSAS. Next, the alterations in relevant signaling pathways induced by IH are systematically reviewed and discussed. For example, IH can induce gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis, impair the intestinal barrier, and alter intestinal metabolites. These mechanisms ultimately lead to secondary oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and sympathetic activation. We then summarize the effects of IH on disease pathogenesis, including cardiocerebrovascular disorders, neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, cancer, reproductive disorders, and COVID-19. Finally, different therapeutic strategies for OSAS caused by different causes are proposed. Multidisciplinary approaches and shared decision-making are necessary for the successful treatment of OSAS in the future, but more randomized controlled trials are needed for further evaluation to define what treatments are best for specific OSAS patients.

Abstract
Worldwide, population aging and unhealthy lifestyles have increased the incidence of high-risk health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, sleep apnea, and other conditions. Recently, to facilitate early identification and diagnosis, efforts have been made in the research and development of new wearable devices to make them smaller, more comfortable, more accurate, and increasingly compatible with artificial intelligence technologies. These efforts can pave the way to the longer and continuous health monitoring of different biosignals, including the real-time detection of diseases, thus providing more timely and accurate predictions of health events that can drastically improve the healthcare management of patients. Most recent reviews focus on a specific category of disease, the use of artificial intelligence in 12-lead electrocardiograms, or on wearable technology. However, we present recent advances in the use of electrocardiogram signals acquired with wearable devices or from publicly available databases and the analysis of such signals with artificial intelligence methods to detect and predict diseases. As expected, most of the available research focuses on heart diseases, sleep apnea, and other emerging areas, such as mental stress. From a methodological point of view, although traditional statistical methods and machine learning are still widely used, we observe an increasing use of more advanced deep learning methods, specifically architectures that can handle the complexity of biosignal data. These deep learning methods typically include convolutional and recurrent neural networks. Moreover, when proposing new artificial intelligence methods, we observe that the prevalent choice is to use publicly available databases rather than collecting new data.
