This presentation gives some basic information regarding the definition , etiology and pathophysiology of " obstructive sleep apnea" which is a serious sleep disorder .Treatment methods are briefly reviewed with special emphasis on the role of the oral surgeon and orthodontist in the management of this medical condition .
OSA is an entity that is increasingly being managed by otolaryngologists...Hope this presentation helps to clear any doubts regarding its diagnosis and management!
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent chronic disease characterized by pharyngeal collapse during sleep.
Sleep disorder that involves cessation or significant decrease in airflow through the upper airway in the presence of breathing effort.
Obstructive sleep apnea is the second most common sleep disorder, insomnia being the most common.
Associated with recurrent oxyhemoglobin desaturations and arousals from sleep
Apnea index- no. of apneas /hr of total sleep time.
AHI (APNEA-HYPOPNEA INDEX)- No of apneas and hypoapneas/hr of total sleep time.
RDI (Respiratory Disturbance Index) – no. of apneas, hypoapneas and respiratory effort related arousals(RERA)/hr of total sleep time.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—also referred to as obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea—is a sleep disorder that involves cessation or significant decrease in airflow in the presence of breathing effort. It is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing and is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep. These episodes are associated with recurrent oxyhemoglobin desaturations and arousals from sleep.

Presentation in Indian Medical Association meeting on 07102011, Trivandrum Chapter.
Sleep and dreams are taken for granted by those not affected by obstructive sleep apnea. Unfortunately in around 10 million population around the world, sleep is a nightly battle which leaves it‟s victims and their bed partners fatigued, stressed and much less healthy.
Untreated sleep apnea is one of the major public health issues we face in common. The emergence of dental sleep medicine as a safe and effective treatment brings hope for the millions of patients looking for alternatives to CPAP treatment.
Oral appliances used to date constitute a relatively heterogeneous group of devices for the treatment of sleep apnea and non-apneic snoring.
As dental professionals, we have a significant role to play in the early diagnosis, management and care of patients suffering from sleep apnea. Oral appliances play a major role in the non surgical management of OSA and have become the first line of treatment in almost all patients suffering from OSA.
The interplay between anatomic, functional, and neural factors that influence the upper airway patency during wakefulness and sleep is still unclear. Although the role played by the prosthodontists is still in its infancy, there is much to learn and understand in the rapidly evolving field of sleep medicine.
The growing interest of prosthodontists in sleep medicine has contributed immensely toward effective prevention and treatment of OSA and sleep Bruxism for each patient based on his/her individual requirement

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. • Good sleep hygiene is critical for one’s overall
physical and mental health.
• Normally it should take about 10 - 15 minutes to
fall asleep after going to bed.
• If you are asleep in less than 5 minutes, that could
be a sign of excessive sleepiness .
Introduction
3. •There are 2 forms of sleep: REM sleep and non-REM sleep.
REM stands for rapid eye movement and is associated with
dreaming. It accounts for 25% of normal sleep, coming in
longer periods toward morning. The rest of our sleep time is
spent in NREM, which consists of four stages from light sleep
(stage 1) to deep sleep (stage 4).
The Sleep Cycle
4. • Repeated episodes of partial or complete
upper airway obstruction during sleep .
A Sleep disorder characterized by recurrent
episodes of narrowing or collapse of pharyngeal
airway during sleep despite ongoing breathing
efforts.
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) ?
5. • 1st description of the disorder in the
medical literature was in 1965 .
Gastaut H, Tassinari CA, Duron B. Polygraphic study of diurnal and nocturnal
(hypnic and respiratory) episodal manifestations of Pickwick syndrome [in
French]. Rev Neurol (Paris) 1965; 112:568–579
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a public health
problem and a potentially life-threatening condition .
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) ?
6. Patent Vs Collapsed Airway
Cardinal Symptoms of OSA
Snoring
Sleepiness
Sleep Apnea Episodes
11. • Clinical features of Obstructive Sleep Apnea:
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Morning headache
Cardiopulmonary dysfunction
– hypertension
– cardiac arrhythmias
– heart failure
Impaired memory and concentration
Reduced intellectual ability
Disturbed personality and mood .
•The dominant symptoms of OSA are excessive sleepiness,
impaired concentration and snoring.
12. •Incidence of OSA
Approximately 40% of adults over 40 years old
snore (about 100 million Americans) .
Middle age (30 – 60 yo) American
– 4% of men and 2% of women (18 million)
Geriatrics
– 24 - 42% have RDI > 5
Two thirds are obese
13. •Incidence of OSA
National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research (1993)
– 95% of pts w/ OSA may be undiagnosed
More prevalent than asthma
Equally prevalent as diabetes
15. Sleeping
Decreased pharyngeal
muscles tonicity
Upper Airway

Apnea
Hypoxia
Hypercapnia
Respiratory efforts
Increase in tonicity
Clearance of upper
airways
Micro reveille
Hyperventilation:

Mechanisms of OSA
16. Pathophysiology of OSA
Tissue laxity and redundant mucosa
Anatomic abnormalities
Decreased muscle tone with REM sleep
Airway collapse
Desaturation ( O2 )
Arousal with restoration of airway
Sleep Fragmentation leading to
Hypersomnolence
17. Etiology of OSA
Multifactorial :
- Anatomic factors
- Neuromuscular factors
18. – Anatomic factors resulting in narrowing of pharynx :
•Skeletal anatomy (micrognathia, retrognathia)
•Soft tissue (macroglossia, tonsillar hypertrophy,
fatty infiltration of pharyngeal tissue assoc w/
obesity)
Etiology of OSA
24. – Neuromuscular factors
•Decreased activity of pharyngeal dilator muscles
•Increased compliance of pharyngeal airway
•Active inhibition of muscle activity during REM
sleep
•Alcohol, sedatives, and muscle relaxants
Etiology of OSA
26. •Risk Factors
Obesity, body mass index > 28 kg/m2
Increased age
Male sex
Hypertension
Hypothyroidism / Acromegaly
Use of sedatives/narcotics/alcohol
Smoking
27. Obesity
Strongest risk factor for OSA
– Present in > 60% of patients referred for
a diagnostic sleep evaluation
– Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study
• A one standard deviation difference in BMI was
associated with a 4-fold increase in disease
prevalence
Risk Factors
28. • Obesity
Alters upper airway mechanics during sleep
1. Increased parapharyngeal fat deposition:
neck circumference: > 17” males
> 16” females
With subsequent:
smaller upper airway
increase the collapsibility of the pharyngeal
airway
29. • Obesity
2. Changes in neural compensatory
mechanisms that maintain airway
patency:
diminished protective reflexes
which otherwise would increase upper
airway dilator muscle activity to
maintain airway patency
36. Symptoms
• Loud snoring
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Choking/gasping during sleep
• Unrefreshing sleep
• Daytime fatigue
• Impaired concentration
Symptoms and Signs of OSA
37. •Diagnosis: Clinical Features
Nocturnal symptoms
1. Snoring :
– reflects the critical narrowing
- population survey: habitual snorers
25% of men, 15% of women
38. •Diagnosis: Clinical Features
Nocturnal symptoms
1. Snoring :
- prevalence increases with age (60%, 40%)
- the most frequent symptom of OSA
- absence makes OSA unlikely
(only 6% of patients with OSA did not report)
39. Nocturnal Symptoms
2. Witnessed Apneas
3. Nocturnal Choking or Gasping
4- Restless Sleep
5. Insomnia
•Diagnosis: Clinical Features
40. • Clinical features
Daytime symptoms
1. Excessive daytime sleepiness
- severity can be assessed
subjectively = questionnaires
(Epworth Sleepiness Scale)
objectively
MSLT = Multiple Sleep Latency Test
41. The most common symptom of OSA is
excessive daytime sleepiness, which can be
assessed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
42. •Epworth Sleepiness Scale
0 = would never doze
1 = slight chance of dozing
2 = moderate chance of dozing
3 = high chance of dozing
•A score of more than 10 suggests clinically
significant daytime sleepiness, although a lower
score does not exclude it.
44. Signs of OSA
•Obesity (particularly upper body)
•Mandibular/maxillary hypoplasia
(receding chin)
• Crowding of the oropharynx
•Large tonsils or tongue
•Nasal and nasopharyngeal
obstruction
52. Obstructive sleep apnea. Note the absence of flow (red arrow)
despite paradoxical respiratory effort (green arrow ).
Polysomnogram
53. Apnea Patterns
There are 3 characteristic patterns of apnea.
An obstructive apnea is defined by the absence of airflow despite
persistent ventilatory efforts,.
A central apnea, in contrast, is the absence of airflow due to the lack
of ventilatory effort.
A mixed apnea includes both central and obstructive components,
usually with an initial central component followed by the obstructive
component.
54. • Diagnosis of OSA
American Academy of Sleep Medicine criterias:
A. Excessive daytime sleepiness that is not better
explained by other factors
B. Two or more of the following that are not better
explained by other factors:
choking during sleep; recurrent awakenings;
unrefreshing sleep; daytime fatigue; impaired
concentration.
C. AHI (five or more obstructed breathing
events per hour during sleep).
55. Medical Consequences
The narrowing and closure of the airway
during sleep causes fragmented sleep and
patho-physiologic conditions:
– Neurobehavioral Derangement
– Cardiopulmonary Derangement
56. Medical Consequences
Neurobehavioral Derangement
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Depression
Impotence
Personality change, Irritability
Learning and memory difficulties
Morning headache
Lack of energy
Loss of employment, Uninsurability, Marital
Discord
Traffic accident, 7x higher
57. The accident incidence was seven-fold greater in patients with
sleep apnea than in matched controls without the disorder
• MVA ( motor-vehicles accidents )
Adapted from Findley LJ et al. Am Rev Respir Dis 1988;138.
58. Hypertension
– Occur in 50% OSA patients
– About 30% of HTN have OSA
– Repetitive hypoxia and hypercapnia at night may contribute
to inc in sympathetic tone resulting in HTN
Medical Consequences
Cardiopulmonary Derangement
59. RV hypertrophy and failure
– Resulting from pulmonary HTN due to hypoxemia
Cardiac arrythmias
– Most common being nocturnal bradycardia, which occurs
during apneic episode followed by tachycardia at resolution
of apnea
MI, angina
Medical Consequences
Cardiopulmonary Derangement
61. Indication for Treatment
AHI 15 or more (moderate-severe)
AHI 5-14 (mild) and with documented
symptoms of :
– Excessive daytime sleepiness, or
– Impaired cognition, mood disorders or insomnia, or
– Documented hypertension, ischemic heart disease
or history of stroke .
62. Treatment of OSA
Behavioral Modifications
Nonsurgical modalities
Surgical modalities
63. Behavioral Modifications
– Weight reduction
– Avoid CNS depressants (alcohol, sedatives)
– Sleep on side w/ tennis ball on back
– Stop smoking
– External nasal dilators/steroid spray
Treatment of OSA
65. •Weight Loss
Remains a highly effective method
10 – 15 % reduction in weight can lead to
an approximately 50 % reduction in sleep
apnea severity in moderately obese male
patients.
Stop / Reduce Smoking
Treatment of OSA
66. • Sleep Position Training
Avoid sleeping in the supine position
Treatment of OSA
67. • Sleep Position Training
Use of a tennis ball sewn into the back of a night shirt as
a means of training the patient to avoid the supine
position and sleep in the lateral recumbent position.
Treatment of OSA
68. •Pharmacotherapy
Protriptyline – decreases REM sleep
Thyroxine or Medroxyprogestrone : in
Hypothyroidism patients
Progestrone : in postmenopausal women
Decongestants : nasal congestion , pharyngeal
odema .
Antibiotics
Non-Surgical Treatment:
71. • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Act as a pneumatic splint to maintain patency of the pharyngeal
airway by preventing collapse of the pharyngeal tissues .
Non-Surgical Treatment
74. CPAP
Titrate the airway pressure needed to overcome
airway obstruction
Average CPAP setting is about 5-15 cm H2O
May be delivered via a nasal
or face mask
Effective in > 90%
Non-Surgical Treatment
75. • CPAP
Has been shown to objectively:
– Decrease MVA
– Decrease blood pressure
– Decrease day time sleepiness
Problems:
– Mask discomfort
– Patient acceptance
– Claustrophobia
Non-Surgical Treatment
78. •Non-Surgical Treatment - CPAP
Physical issues :
– Facial skin abrasions/discomfort
– Air leaks leading to drying of eye
– Difficulty with expiration
– Nasal dryness and congestion
– Sore throat
– Loud noise
79. Tongue retaining devices
– Keep tongue in forward position by creating negative
pressure in a plastic bulb, fit between the lips
Mandibular advancing devices
– Cause forward/downward movement of mandible when
attached to dental arches
Soft palate lifter
– Effective only for treatment of snoring
•Non-Surgical Treatment:
Oral Devices
80. • Tongue Retaining Devices ( TRD)
• TRDs use suction pressure to maintain the tongue
in a protruded position during sleep .
82. Mandibular Advancement Devices
•The aim of all of these devices is to improve the patency of the
upper airway during sleep by increasing its dimensions and
reducing its collapsibility .
83. • Mandibular Advancement Devices
Advance Base of the
tongue to ↑ airway
Advance and raise hyoid
bone, tightening the
pharyngeal musculature
which reduces airway
collapsibility.
Stretch the masseter
muscles which
stimulates the
genioglossus muscle
85. Reposition and stabilize
the mandible & tongue
(sometimes soft palate)
Increase size of airway in
lateral dimension
Mandibular Advancement Devices
86. • Fabrication of Mandibular Protruding Appliance
•Good Impressions of upper & lower dental arches
88. • Recording the Protruded position of the mandible
• Progressive mandibular
protrusion to ensure treatment
efficiency .
• Start by 50-60% of the
maximum active protrusion .
•
•Titration
89. • Recording the Protruded position of the mandible
•Positive relationships between
amount of mandibular protrusion
and :
- Increased airways patency
- Decreased airways resistance
- Decreased episodes of OSA
•Titration
90. • Oral appliances
Most effective in non-obese patients with
retro or micrognathia
Better for mild to moderate cases
51% achieve normal sleep, 61% improved

tolerate nasal CPAP and who refuse or are not
candidate for surgical treatment .
• Non-Surgical Treatment:
Oral Devices
99. Summary of the Key Adverse Effects of Oral Appliances
Short-term adverse effects
Excessive salivation
Mouth dryness
Tooth pain
Gum irritation
Headaches
Temporomandibular joint discomfort.
•Long-term adverse effects
Reduction in overjet
Increase in facial height
Increase in degree of mouth opening
Changes in inclination of incisors
Increase in mandibular plane angle
102. •Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)
Devised to surgically excise the tonsils
(if present) and portions of the soft
palate, and reorientate the tonsillar
pillars in order to enlarge the
oropharyngeal space .
OSA : Surgical Treatment
104. •Partial Glossectomy
An enlarged tongue (macroglossia)
may call for tongue reduction surgery
extending from the midline of the
posterior tongue down to the free
margin of the epiglottis.
Since speech and swallowing may be
significantly compromised by this
procedure, it is limited to few cases
where there is true macroglossia
present.
OSA : Surgical Treatment
105. Adenotonsillectomy - preferred treatment in
children .
Tracheostomy - cure for OSAS
– used for failure of more conservative treatment
– life threatening cardiopulmonary complications
– alternative techniques to lessen complications
Surgical Methods - Soft tissues
107. Geniotubercle advancement
For advancing the tongue forwards
without changing lower facial
aesthetics or the dental occlusion .
The advancement of the central
block of bone below the mandibular
incisor effectively advances the
attachment of the genioglossus and
geniohyoid muscles which brings
forward both the tongue and hyoid
bone.
OSA : Surgical Treatment
108. – Advances hyoid bone
anteriorly and inferiorly.
– Advances epiglottis and base
of tongue .
– Performed in conjunction
with other procedures .
– Dysphagia may result .
Hyoid Myotomy and Suspension
OSA : Surgical Treatment
109. Adult female patient
OSA
Severe skeletal open bite
•Surgical-Orthodontic Treatment
