Er wird tagsüber nach einer Polysomnographie in der vorausgehenden Nacht durchgeführt und besteht aus fünf standardisierten Testdurchgängen im Abstand von jeweils zwei Stunden. Medikamente, Schlafentzug sowie stimulierende Substanzen oder Aktivitäten können die Ergebnisse des Tests beeinflussen.

However, the effects of a combination of the two are relatively unknown. In this study, the tidal volume (VT) of OHS patients with and without opium dependence was estimated by measuring changes in the circumference of the thorax and the abdomen during sleep. Materials and methods This case–control study was performed in Iran, Isfahan. Initially, 20 healthy subjects calibrated the Pneumobelts (Löwenstein Medical Technology GmbH, Hamburg, Germany) by wearing the device and also breathing in and out of a Spirobag. From this, it was possible to estimate the coefficient factors for determining VT based on thoracic and abdominal measures. Subsequently, the study included 55 patients with OHS, who were divided into two groups: opium dependent and non-users. They were then admitted to the sleep lab for a single night of polysomnography (PSG). VT was estimated and then compared between groups. Results In total, there were 24 patients in the opium group and 31 in the non-user control group. All PSG variables were analyzed with independent-sample t -tests and an analysis of covariance was used to adjust for potential confounding variables. The following confounding variables were adjusted: sex, smoking, body mass index, and hypertension. VT values were not significantly different between groups (opium: 772 ± 125.4; non-user: 774 ± 95). Average oxygen saturation values were significantly lower in opium-dependent patients (opium: 86.1 ± 5.5; non-user: 89.1 ± 4.1). All other variables from PSG including chest and abdominal circumference were not significantly different between groups. Conclusion OHS patients with opium dependency showed similar VT levels when compared to non-users with OHS. Due to the rarity of the sample, it was difficult to gather exactly matched pairs. Therefore, it is possible that with a more closely related sample, we might be able to see a difference in VT between groups.","PeriodicalId":21947,"journal":{"name":"Somnologie","volume":" 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135291074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its assumed economic benefits have become subject of increasing controversy in the recent past, and, together with its likely negative impacts on health, have led to the decision to abolish DST in the EU and the USA. Transitions from and to DST disrupt the circadian rhythm and lead to measurable adverse effects. Among them, the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is suspected to increase as a consequence of DST changes. Objective The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between DST transitions and the incidence of acute myocardial infarction based on the available literature. Materials and methods A systematic literature search in the MEDLINE database was performed. Studies were included that observed the AMI incidence after transitioning from or to DST and had a control period beyond or around the post-transitional weeks. Of 26 identified studies, 8 met the inclusion criteria. Results were interpreted with an emphasis on methodological differences, reported incidence rates, and subgroup analyses. Results Seven of the identified studies reported the incidence rate ratio (IRR), observed-to-expected ratio, or odds ratio, while one study only reported IRR values for the individual days and statistical significance levels for the transition weeks. Six studies reported an increased incidence after the spring shift, four of which were statistically significant. Three studies reported an increase after the autumn shift, of which two were statistically significant. Conclusion Several studies show increased AMI incidence rates following both spring and autumn DST shifts, yet results remain in part contradictory. Future research to establish a better understanding of the health implications of DST transitions is warranted, and the quantification of incidence rates should control for confounding factors.","PeriodicalId":21947,"journal":{"name":"Somnologie","volume":"30 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135325531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective For both individual wellbeing and healthcare systems, efficient and effective diagnosis and treatment of OSA are essential. Actors and stations along the patient pathway that may strongly benefit from adoption of current and evolving digital methods and tools are to be identified. Materials and methods This work analyzes an OSA patient’s pathway through the German healthcare system, as well as current developments in health informatics and patient involvement. Potential benefits are identified and a patient-centric integrated digital health system is conceptualized. Results Digital health strategies of German and European governments emphasize the importance of connected healthcare for patient empowerment, efficient health systems, and innovations in healthcare. For OSA, in particular intersectoral sharing of health assessments and biosignal measurements can support physicians’ care and timely and adequate treatment. Furthermore, clinical decision-support systems including artificial intelligence may help in optimized patient-centric treatment by early detection of females suffering from OSA, OSA pheno- and endotypes, and patients at risk of abandoning treatments. However, bureaucratic and reimbursement barriers in legislation may slow down or even inhibit the implementation of a smart healthcare system. Conclusion Current trends in connected digital healthcare, wearables, data-driven decision support, and patient participation offer many opportunities for significantly improving healthcare for OSA. However, many technical, organizational, and regulatory challenges are to be faced.","PeriodicalId":21947,"journal":{"name":"Somnologie","volume":"85 3-4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135216849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
