Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in the adult population and associated with high morbidity. OSA treatment remains a challenge due to limitations imposed by tolerability, elevated costs and effectiveness. The present proposal encompasses studies that focus on the understanding of the pathophysiology of OSA in a practical way, each aiming a clinical and immediate applicati…
Co-morbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnoea (COMISA) is common, with up to 40% of individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) or insomnia meeting diagnostic criteria for both conditions. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) reduces OSA severity in COMISA patients, suggesting that these conditions may have some underlying shared cause(s). This project will be the firs…

Nasal breathing can happen during inspiration and expiration, or even as an isolated event during expiration[1]. The morphological analysis of the nasal airflow curve can be used to identify the oral pattern of expiration[2]. This condition is called Expiratory Flow Limitation (EFL) and can be identified in the airflow signal by the cut of the expiratory curve[2][3]. An event of expirator…
Upper airway anatomy is the main factor involved in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Obesity can lead to soft tissues hypertrophy around the pharynx. The propensity for pharyngeal collapse can be determined by measuring the pharyngeal critical closing pressure (Pcrit). Few studies have evaluated the relationship between pharyngeal anatomy and Pcrit. The main hypothesis o…

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent among adults and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Airflow limitation is commonly observed among OSA patients and is defined as a steady inspiratory flow despite an increasing inspiratory effort. A Starling Resistor model is often used to study the relationship between pressure and flow of the pharynx. This model cons…
