🔎 Stanford Orthodontic Airway Plate (SOAP) treatment shows significant improvement in respiratory parameters for infants with Robin sequence and cleft palate, offering a nonsurgical alternative to traditional interventions. JCSM Journal stan.md/3LK80Cy

The impact of Philips’ exit from the US market is still evolving. There is unlikely to be a catastrophic shortage of devices although more medically compromised patients are at greatest risk of being affected if supply of HMV devices is outpaced by demand. bit.ly/3UEYbKr

Connecting resident #physician work hours and sleep deprivation to adverse outcomes has been difficult. This study used simulated cases to explore relationships between #sleep duration and diagnostic reasoning. bit.ly/4cvXo5r #shiftwork

This study underscores a noteworthy correlation between a higher frequency or longer duration of daytime #nap and an increased susceptibility to #cardiovascular disease among individuals aged 65–74 years, particularly in #females. bit.ly/3YwtwlY

This study investigated the accuracy of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for the identification of veterans with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. bit.ly/4dl1PkI

This study aimed to create a wireless radar framework to screen the likelihood of 2 levels of OSA severity (ie, moderate-to-severe and severe OSA) in accordance with clinical practice standards. bit.ly/4cuh0qt #sleepapnea #polysomnography

When searching for a sleep #app, information about the evidence base for the majority of highly visible apps is not available and there is little evidence attesting to the effectiveness of highly visible apps on #sleep. bit.ly/46PdAgJ #mHealth

The Survey of Sleep Quality in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit provides a reliable, accurate description of inpatient #sleep disruption in nonsedated children, generalizable across PICUs. bit.ly/3YVGI3U #pediatrics

Case represents a new form of injury associated with untreated OSA and EDS, manifesting with severe #ocular and extraocular muscle injuries sustained from suddenly falling asleep and colliding with a sharp object. bit.ly/4g0Pggb #sleepapnea #parasomnias

This article from JCSM by Anna M. May, MD, MS delves into the connection between a patient's existing medication adherence and their success with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for sleep apnea. 🛌 😴 Keep reading at heyor.ca/LRcJMI JCSM Journal

So excited for our new JCSM Journal paper "Dreams interrupted: characteristics of REM-sleep associated seizures and status epilepticus", including possible status dissociatus and a rare case of paradoxical status to only occur during REM! tinyurl.com/3m4a4nrt #Epilepsy

A letter to the editor from members of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Public Safety Committee responds to the statement from FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker about pursuing key changes in the current system of duty hours rules for air traffic controllers. bit.ly/3T8fenQ

An accepted paper in JCSM found patients with #diabetes on treatment and moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing experience increased all-cause #mortality. bit.ly/479qiaj #sleep

A JCSM Journal study shows that 400 mg of caffeine taken up to 6 hours before bedtime can significantly disrupt sleep, reducing it by over an hour. To promote healthy sleep, limit caffeine to the morning. For an afternoon boost, try a brisk walk, cold water, or a quick stretch!

A new issue of JCSM Journal is now available! Explore the latest #SleepMedicine research, reviews, and case reports. bit.ly/447b3fv

This study in JCSM evaluated the performance of a commercial #smartwatch compared to polysomnography reference for overnight continuous #oximetry measurement and #sleepapnea evaluation bit.ly/3Ugt6w8 #wearables

This study in JCSM used a randomized, within-subjects, crossover design to examine whether the use of a weighted blanket improves objective and/or subjective indices of #sleep among a small group of #children adopted from #fostercare. bit.ly/3APLnKG

This study in JCSM verified the link between obstructive #sleepapnea severity and #cancer risk in addition to identifying 2 circulating #biomarkers markers that were independently and significantly associated with cancer risk. bit.ly/4dYtk3U

The aim of this study was to establish a metabolic profile for patients with obstructive #sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome using nontargeted #metabolomics detection techniques, providing a basis for OSAHS diagnosis and novel biological marker identification. bit.ly/3MMy5Bm

Findings show patients with #sleep apnea had decreased #tongue motor skills in elevation but not protrusion. These insights shed light on how tongue muscles adapt to obstructive events & suggest specific tongue tasks that could be preferentially targeted. bit.ly/3Tvtd7D
