Recently, researchers have increasingly begun to explore the influence of partner support on adherence to CPAP therapy. This systematic review seeks to consolidate current evidence regarding the impact of partner support on CPAP adherence in individuals with OSAS. <b>Methods</b>: A comprehensive literature search was carried out across PubMed, Scopus, Medline, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases under PRISMA guidelines. Stringent inclusion criteria were used, and at least two independent reviewers screened all studies. The mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT) was used to assess selected articles for quality. Data relevant to the review's objectives were extracted and presented through narrative synthesis. The review protocol was preregistered (Prospero CRD420251016574). <b>Results</b>: Nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings highlighted the significant influence of adherence to CPAP. Partner support, relationship quality, and collaborative efforts emerged as facilitators of adherence, with partnered individuals exhibiting higher adherence to CPAP use. However, barriers such as anxiety, interruption in intimacy, and conflict in relationships were also identified. <b>Conclusions</b>: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to synthesize evidence on the partner's role in CPAP adherence and inform clinicians on the importance of providing personalized care based on biopsychosocial characteristics of patients; for example, assessing the partner support in the management of the illness.

However, the limited availability of donors and the restricted durability of tissues applied in cardiovascular treatments result in a constraint on applicability and a suboptimal therapeutic approach that is still not fully resolved. There are multiple ways to preserve heart tissue grafts, and the choice of method is solely dependent upon the nature and complexity of the tissue and the length of storage. The conventional cold storage method provides the base to nearly all of the preservation protocols for short- and long-term storage. Short-term storage methods frequently rely on designing preserving solutions to protect the graft against warm and cold ischemia at the temperature above freezing point. As ice-nucleation is the major notorious phenomenon during graft preservation, the modern era of research is focusing on developing ice-free preservation techniques, termed vitrification. However, despite the promising outcomes of vitrification, there are several recognized hurdles required to be overcome to build a biobank of heart grafts for an extended period of time. Besides tissue deterioration due to extreme cold temperature, there is another extreme phenomenon of tissue rejection mainly caused by the presence of cellular antigens. The modern approach of decellularization has the potential to minimize the chances of tissue rejection by removing the cells and providing a structural support and sustained biochemical signal via keeping the extracellular matrix of the graft intact. In conclusion, both nano-warming and decellularization are the leading approaches that have great potential to store the graft tissue in its optimal form via keeping its viability safe for a longer time and extending its applicability. This review article outlines a variety of approaches for the preservation and bioengineering of tissue to fulfill the need for the availability of on-shelf long-lasting grafts both in clinical and laboratory setups.</p>","PeriodicalId":16722,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personalized Medicine","volume":"15 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12113189/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144150815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
