Sleep Apnea Linked to top 10 Medical killings as Main Public Health Risk and Concerns
 

Sleep apnea, sleep-disordered breathing, and intermittent hypoxia have been identified and linked in latest research to almost all major fatal medical conditions, from heart attack, stroke, diabetes, COPD cancer, and major depressive disorders.

Current main-stream treatment options are unsatisfactory, and the entire world is looking for a better or best solution.

This market is one of the most explosive and largely untapped markets.

SleepApneaUSA.net, founded by Dr. Jin Zhou, relied upon the latest research and clinically developed ZHT - Zhou's Hypoxicology Therapy to discover a possible cure for sleep apnea and provide an alternative care to those who can't tolerate CPAP,"sleeping mask".

 
We are looking for visionary investors, strategic partners, business alliance and concerned healthcare providers to advance our goals, to find and provide with possible cure for sleep apnea, and its related major fatal medical conditions.

This web site is mainly for visionary investors, strategic business partners and concerned healthcare providers.

Abstract Effects of continuous positive airway pressure versus supplemental oxygen on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure.
Hypertension. 2006 May;47(5):840-5. Epub 2006 Apr 3.
PMID: 16585412 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

"We found that 2 weeks of CPAP therapy resulted in a significant reduction in daytime mean arterial and diastolic blood pressure and nighttime systolic, mean, and diastolic blood pressure (all Ps <0.05). Although nocturnal supplemental oxygen therapy improved oxyhemoglobin saturation, it did not affect blood pressure. We conclude that CPAP therapy reduces both daytime and nighttime blood pressure in patients with OSA, perhaps through mechanisms other than improvement of nocturnal oxyhemoglobin saturation."

Cardiac Deaths Peak In Sleep Hours For Patients With Sleep Apnea (March 31, 2005)

Sleep Apnea, Blood Pressure Linked (Newswise) Dec 11-2005

"Ubunama's suggestions are based on results of a study funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and presented last month at the American Heart Association annual meeting. “We found a direct relationship between the severity of sleep apnea and cardiovascular changes associated with high blood pressure.”

UAB Study Finds Link Between Sleep Apnea and High Blood Pressure (Press Releases from UAB) 11/16/2006

"Ubunama and colleagues with the UAB Hypertension Program found that the severity of sleep apnea is directly related to endothelial changes,......Sleep apnea is very under-diagnosed, according to Ubunama, particularly among patients with high blood pressure, and doctors rarely ask about their patients’ sleep habits. However, in UAB hypertension clinics, researchers have found the prevalence of sleep apnea in the population of resistant hypertension patients, specifically those who continue to experience uncontrolled high blood pressure on three or more medications, is approximately 85 percent."

"Laryngeal muscle control may vary for different functions such as: voice for speech communication, emotional expression during laughter and cry, breathing, swallowing, and cough. This review discusses the control of the human laryngeal muscles for some of these different functions. Sensori-motor aspects of laryngeal control have been studied by eliciting various laryngeal reflexes. The role of audition in learning and monitoring ongoing voice production for speech is well known; while the role of somatosensory feedback is less well understood. Reflexive control systems involving central pattern generators may contribute to swallowing, breathing and cough with greater cortical control during volitional tasks such as voice production for speech. Volitional control is much less well understood for each of these functions and likely involves the integration of cortical and subcortical circuits. The new frontier is the study of the central control of the laryngeal musculature for voice, swallowing and breathing and how volitional and reflexive control systems may interact in humans.

Neural sites involved in the sustained increase in muscle sympathetic nerve activity induced by inspiratory capacity apnea: a fMRI study.
J Appl Physiol. 2006 Jan;100(1):266-73. Epub 2005 Aug 25.
PMID: 16123207 [PubMed - in process]

"A maximal inspiratory breath hold (inspiratory capacity apnea) against a closed glottis evokes a large and sustained increase in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). Because of its dependence on a high intrathoracic pressure, it has been suggested that this maneuver causes unloading of the low-pressure baroreceptors, known to increase MSNA."

"Muscle sympathetic nerve activity and chemoreflex sensitivity are linked to spontaneous respiratory rate in normal humans. Faster respiratory rate is associated with higher levels of sympathetic traffic and potentiated responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia. Spontaneous breathing frequency, central sympathetic outflow, and chemoreflex sensitivity exhibit significant and hitherto unrecognized interactions in the modulation of neural circulatory control."

Sleep and Exertional Periodic Breathing in Chronic Heart Failure. Prognostic Importance and Interdependence.
Circulation. 2005 Dec 27; [Epub ahead of print]
PMID: 16380551 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

BACKGROUND: Sleep and exertional periodic breathing are proverbial in chronic heart failure (CHF), and each alone indicates poor prognosis. Whether these conditions are associated and whether excess risk may be attributed to respiratory disorders in general, rather than specifically during sleep or exercise, is unknown........CONCLUSIONS: In CHF, EOV is significantly associated with AHI >30/h. Although each breathing disorder alone is linked to total mortality, their combination has a crucial prognostic burden.

"Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, affecting 5-15% of the population. It is characterized by intermittent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that disrupts normal ventilation and sleep architecture, and is typically associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring, and witnessed apneas. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea present risk to the general public safety by causing 8-fold increase in vehicle accidents, and they may themselves also suffer from the physiologic consequences of OSA; these include hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac arrhythmias."

Reducing motor-vehicle collisions, costs, and fatalities by treating obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

“MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: More than 800,000 drivers were involved in OSAS-related motor-vehicle collisions in the year 2000. These collisions cost 15.9 billion dollars and 1,400 lives in the year 2000. In the United States, treating all drivers suffering from OSAS with CPAP would cost 3.18 billion dollars, save 11.1 billion dollars in collision costs, and save 980 lives annually. CONCLUSION: Annually, a small but significant portion of motor-vehicle collisions, costs, and deaths are related to OSAS. With CPAP treatment, most of these collisions, costs, and deaths can be prevented. Treatment of OSAS benefits both the patient and the public.”

Abstract |  PMID: 16282177

Background The Canadian Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Patients with Central Sleep Apnea and Heart Failure trial tested the hypothesis that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) would improve the survival rate without heart transplantation of patients who have central sleep apnea and heart failure. ....

Conclusions Although CPAP attenuated central sleep apnea, improved nocturnal oxygenation, increased the ejection fraction, lowered norepinephrine levels, and increased the distance walked in six minutes, it did not affect survival. Our data do not support the use of CPAP to extend life in patients who have central sleep apnea and heart failure.”

"Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, affecting 5-15% of the population. It is characterized by intermittent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that disrupts normal ventilation and sleep architecture, and is typically associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring, and witnessed apneas. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea present risk to the general public safety by causing 8-fold increase in vehicle accidents, and they may themselves also suffer from the physiologic consequences of OSA; these include hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac arrhythmias. Of these possible cardiovascular consequences, the association between OSA and hypertension has been found to be the most convincing. Although the exact mechanism has not been understood, there is some evidence that OSA is associated with frequent apneas causing mechanical effects on intrathoracic pressure, cardiac function, and intermittent hypoxemia, which may in turn cause endothelial dysfunction and increase in sympathetic drive. Therapy with continuous positive airway pressure has been demonstrated to improve cardiopulmonary hemodynamics in patients with OSA and may reverse the endothelial cell dysfunction. Despite the availability of diagnostic measures and effective treatment, many patients with sleep-disordered breathing remain undiagnosed. Therefore, OSA continues to be a significant health risk both for affected individuals and for thegeneral public. Awareness and timely initiation of an effective treatment may prevent potential deleterious cardiovascular effects of OSA. Copyright (c) 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel."

Association of Sleep-disordered Breathing and the Occurrence of Stroke.

"Conclusions: These data demonstrate a strong association between moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing and prevalent stroke, independent of confounding factors. They also provide the first prospective evidence that sleep-disordered breathing precedes stroke and may contribute to the development of stroke."

Sleep Apnea Increases Stroke Risk (MedPage)

"In the four years after diagnosis people with moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing have nearly 4.5 times the risk of stroke as do people without the condition, according to Douglas Bradley, M.D., director of Toronto General Hospital's Sleep Research Laboratory here."

"The researchers found:

*      Without adjustment for other risk factors, the odds ratio for stroke among those with the worst disorder -- compared to the reference group -- was 4.31 (with a 95% confidence interval from 1.31 to 14.15) over any four-year period.

*      When age and sex were accounted for, the odds ratio became 4.48 (with the 95% confidence interval from 1.31 to 15.33.)

*      Both results were statistically significant at p=0.02."

Researchers link sleep apnea to risk of strokes (CTV.ca, Canada)

"We showed for the first time that if you have sleep apnea, your chance of having a stroke is four times greater than if you have no sleep apnea," Dr. Douglas Bradley, director of the Sleep Research Laboratory at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, told CTV News.

The researchers found that interrupted sleep increases blood pressure, which makes blood more prone to the clots that cause strokes. More than 70 per cent of stroke patients are later found to have sleep apnea."

"Heart failure is an increasingly common public health problem that is strongly linked to both central and obstructive sleep apnea, collectively referred to as sleep-disordered breathing. Much attention has been given to the deleterious effects of sleep-disordered breathing on the failing heart and potential mechanisms by which treatment of sleep-disordered breathing may result in improved cardiac performance and long-term outcomes. However, there is compelling evidence that cardiac dysfunction may contribute to sleep-disordered breathing. Although there is recognized overlap between pathophysiological mechanisms in central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea, data supporting the role of cardiac function are certain forms of central sleep apnea are well established, whereas investigation into the relationship with obstructive sleep apnea is less mature but continues to evolve. This review will examine experimental and observational data that explore possible pathophysiological mechanisms and potential targets for therapy in heart failure and sleep-disordered breathing."

‘Silent’ nighttime acid reflux symptoms can cause poor sleep and sleep apnea October 31, 2005

"HONOLULU — Patients with sleep complaints but no heartburn symptoms suffered episodes of nighttime acid reflux according to research presented at the 70th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology. In a separate study, researchers found that symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are common and frequently severe in patients with obstructive sleep apnea."

"RESULTS:: Twenty-five of 72 (35%) patients remained unresponsive after 4 months of aggressive acid suppressive therapy. Ten (40%) patients agreed to undergo surgical fundoplication (mean age = 50, male = 4). The most common laryngeal symptoms were sore throat (40%), hoarseness (30%), and cough (20%), whereas the most common signs were medial arytenoid wall erythema/edema (60%), interarytenoid erythema (50%), and arytenoid complex erythema/edema (50%). At 1 year postfundoplication, laryngeal symptoms improved in only 1 of 10 (10%) patient, whereas signs improved in 8 of 10 (80%) patients. CONCLUSIONS:: There appears to be poor correlation between signs and symptoms of LPR, particularly when monitoring therapeutic outcomes. In patients unresponsive to twice-daily proton-pump inhibitor therapy for 4 months, further aggressive therapy is unlikely to bring additional symptomatic benefit."

A nightmare for your body - Los Angeles Times

New studies link obstructive sleep apnea to risks such as brain damage and diabetes. Still, the disorder is often ignored.

"Some people first suspect they have obstructive sleep apnea when their significant other complains about excessive snoring, or tells them they stop breathing many times during the night.

Others figure it out when their daytime sleepiness gets so bad they fall asleep at meetings or have a car accident."

Snoring Related to Obesity, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, and Chronic Fatigue (AAOHNS)

Many studies have clearly showed that self perception of snoring poorly correlated, and observer perception only moderately correlated, with mean, maximum loudness, and snoring index. Two researchers set out to introduce an objective method of measuring snoring. (American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Foundation Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO)

University of Chicago Hospitals: University of Chicago scientists pinpoint cellular cause of SIDS - July 8, 2004

"In the July 8, 2004, issue of the journal Neuron, the researchers describe the specific group of neurons that are responsible for gasping and what happens to these cells when they are deprived of oxygen. Since gasping resets the normal breathing pattern for babies, the scientists suspect that a malfunction in these respiratory pacemakers is the cellular mechanism that leads to SIDS......."Gasping is an important arousal or auto-resuscitation mechanism," Ramirez says. It resets a baby's normal breathing rhythm and also alerts the baby as well as the mother that something is wrong."

"In conclusion: (1) There is reduced nutritive flow response to aerobic exercise and reduced maximal exercise time in FM that might relate to higher iNOS protein content and contribute to exertional fatigue in FM; (2) The increased dialysate lactate in FM in response to stimulation of NOS or a nitric oxide donor suggest that FM may be more sensitive than HC to the suppressive effect of nitric oxide on oxidative phosphorylation."

Abstract The smoking gun: many conditions associated with tobacco exposure may be attributable to paradoxical compensatory autonomic responses to nicotine.
Med Hypotheses. 2005;64(6):1073-9. Review.
PMID: 15823687 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

"We hypothesize that the illnesses associated with smoking may be partly attributable to autonomic dysfunction, sympathetic bias, and T helper (Th)2 inflammation induced by a paradoxical compensatory response to intermittent nicotinic exposure. The confusion of interpreting the adrenergia and inflammation associated with nicotine as a primary response instead of a secondary compensation may be explained by the unusually rapid absorption, action, and serum elimination of nicotine. Given the fast action and clearance of nicotine, even heavy smokers spend large portions of the day and the entire night in nicotine withdrawal, at which time rebound sympathetic bias may manifest as a result of desensitization of nicotinic receptors."

Stroke. 2005 Dec;36(12):2614-8. Epub 2005 Nov 10.
PMID: 16282549 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

"BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Sleep apnea (SA) is an independent risk factor for arterial hypertension and is present in 50% to 70% of patients with ischemic stroke. The effects of SA on blood pressure (BP) and stroke outcome in the acute stroke phase are essentially unknown. ......CONCLUSIONS: SA severity is associated with high 24-hour BP values but only weakly with stroke severity and outcome. Conversely, NDS is linked with a more severe stroke and a poorer evolution but not with SA severity. These data suggest different, although overlapping, pathophysiological and clinical implications of circadian and nocturnal BP values in acute stroke."

"CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that substantial differences exist in the regulation of the cerebral circulation in response to hypoxia and hypercapnia on waking from sleep. An intact cerebral vascular response to IH, during this time period, could be interpreted as a protective mechanism against cerebral ischemia and stroke; this is of particular relevance to patients with obstructive sleep apnea who arouse from sleep during hypoxia."

Abstract Medical devices for the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2005 Nov;2(6):749-63.
PMID: 16293102 [PubMed - in process]

"......The discovery of continuous positive airway pressure treatment, and the resultant recognition of the high prevalence of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, and their impact on health, has spawned a new and rapidly growing global industry. Whilst diagnostic technologic advancements have evolved relatively rapidly, many questions relating to the use of such devices in clinical practice remain unresolved. Similarly, on the therapeutic front, advances in continuous positive airway pressure technology have broadened the use of such treatment, although compliance remains an important impediment to widespread treatment of this common disorder. This has prompted a search for simpler treatment alternatives, ranging from surgical, medical and dental therapies, although none have matched the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure. Advances in our understanding of the neurobiology of sleep and respiration herald the prospect of pharmacologic treatment in the longer term."

Abstract Effect of nicotine on vasoconstrictor and vasodilator responses in human skin vasculature.
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2001 Oct;281(4):R1097-104.
PMID: 11557615 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

"It was observed that nicotine (10(-7) M) amplified (P < 0.05) the norepinephrine (NE)-induced concentration-dependent (10(-7)-10(-5) M) increase in skin vasoconstriction compared with the control. This amplification effect of nicotine in NE-induced skin vasoconstriction was not blocked by the nicotine-receptor antagonist hexamethonium (10(-6) M) or the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin (10(-5) M). ........ The present findings were interpreted to indicate that acute exposure of human skin vasculature to nicotine was associated with 1) amplification of NE-induced skin vasoconstriction and 2) impairment of endothelium-dependent skin vasorelaxation. Cyclooxygenase products and nicotine receptors blocked by hexamethonium were not involved in the amplification of NE-induced skin vasoconstriction by nicotine. These findings may provide further insight into the pathogenesis of skin vasospasm in skin flap surgery and skin ischemic disease associated with cigarette smoking or use of smokeless tobacco."

Abstract Causes of cheyne - stokes respiration.
Neurocrit Care. 2005;3(3):271-9.
PMID: 16377843 [PubMed - in process]

"Cheyne - Stokes respiration (CSR) is one of several types of unusual breathing with recurrent apneas (dysrhythmias). Reported initially in patients with heart failure or stroke, it was then recognized both in other diseases and as a component of the sleep apnea syndrome. CSR is potentiated and perpetuated by changing states of arousal that occur during sleep. The recurrent hypoxia and surges of sympathetic activity that often occur during the apneas may have serious health consequences. Heart failure and stroke are risk factors for sleep apnea. The recurrent apneas and intermittent hypoxia occurring with sleep apnea further damage the heart and brain. Although all breathing dysrhythmias do not have the same cause, instability in the feedback control involved in the chemical regulation of breathing is the leading cause of CSR. Mathematical models have helped greatly in the understanding of the causes of recurrent apneas."

"Conclusion: Hypoxaemia during acute stroke assessment was associated with increased risk of death. Although SaO(2) is lower during transfers, hypoxaemia occurs in all stages of the admission process. Further research is necessary to determine whether strategies to avoid hypoxaemia during acute assessment improve stroke survival."

"......In a subgroup (n=8), treatment of obstructive sleep apnea lowered MSNA by 12 bursts per 100 heartbeats (P=0.003). Convergence of independent excitatory influences of HF and sleep apnea on central sympathetic neurons results in higher MSNA during wakefulness in HF patients with coexisting sleep apnea. This additional stimulus to central sympathetic outflow may accelerate the progression of HF; its attenuation by treatment of sleep apnea represents a novel nonpharmacological opportunity."

"Some unique organic and psychological factors contributing to ED have been identified in patients with underlying cardiovascular problems. Certain risk factors are common to the development of coronary artery disease, heart failure and ED, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia. Additionally, the use of medications such as beta blockers, digoxin and thiazide diuretics might eventually cause but more likely worsen sexual dysfunction. These unintended consequences can lead to medical noncompliance in misguided efforts to retain satisfactory sexual activity, and thereby worsen cardiovascular problems. Accordingly, it is important for physicians dealing with patients with cardiovascular diseases to address sexual concerns in their patients."

"During spontaneous breathing, hypertensive subjects showed lower CO2 and faster breathing rate, suggesting hyperventilation and reduced baroreflex sensitivity (P<0.001 versus controls). Slow breathing reduces blood pressure and enhances baroreflex sensitivity in hypertensive patients. These effects appear potentially beneficial in the management of hypertension."

"CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that there is a markedly increased prevalence of atrial fibrillation among patients with idiopathic central sleep apnea in the absence of congestive heart failure. Moreover, the high prevalence of atrial fibrillation among patients with idiopathic central sleep apnea is not explainable by the presence of hypertension or nocturnal oxygen desaturation, since both of these were more strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea."

"INTERPRETATION: In patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis without severe bulbar dysfunction, NIV improves survival with maintenance of, and improvement in, quality of life. The survival benefit from NIV in this group is much greater than that from currently available neuroprotective therapy. In patients with severe bulbar impairment, NIV improves sleep-related symptoms, but is unlikely to confer a large survival advantage."

These results suggest that selective HG nerve stimulation can be a useful technique to produce multiple tongue activation patterns that can dilate the pharynx. This may in turn increase the size of the patient population who can benefit from HG nerve stimulation as a treatment method for obstructive sleep apnea.
