1. Sleep Apnea Prepared by: dr. Mohamad Ghazi 1
2. Outline: • Sleep Apnea definition • Epidemiology • Types of Sleep Apnea • Risk factors for Obstructive sleep apnea • Diagnosis • OSA can increase the risk of ? • Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea • Conclusion 2
3. Sleep Apnea is defined as the stopping of airflow during sleep and preventing air from entering the lungs caused by an obstruction.(1) What is Sleep Apnea? 1.British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association . 2. Orthodontics - Current Principles and Techniques - Graber 5th edition - 2011 Just as allergic disease significantly affects quality of life, obstructive sleep apnea, if it is untreated, may affect adversely the ability of adults and children to function adequately at work and at school.(2) 3

5. Is Sleep Apnea Significant Health Issue ? 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, with 80 percent of the cases of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea undiagnosed. (3) 3.American Sleep Apnea Association 4.Young et al 1993 5.Young et al 2002 15. Marcus CL, Brooks LJ, Draper KA, Gozal D, Halbower AC, Jones J, et al. Diagnosis and management of childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Pediatrics. 2012; 130: 576-84. EPIDEMIOLOGY: OSA present in 25-58% of Male and 10-37% of Female. (4)(5) According to a report by American Academy of Pediatrics, depends on the population studied, the prevalence of OSAS is in the range of 1% to 5% (15) 5
6. Types of Sleep Apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep apnea. It occurs when the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway, often causing you to snore loudly. 6
7. Central sleep apnea is a much less common type of sleep apnea that involves the central nervous system, occurring when the brain fails to signal the muscles that control breathing. People with central sleep apnea seldom snore. Complex sleep apnea is a combination of obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. A) Obstructive sleep apnea. Note continued chest and abdominal effort in the absence of airflow. B) Central sleep apnea. Note absence of chest and abdominal effort, as well as absence of airflow 7
8. You have a higher risk for obstructive sleep apnea if you are: Overweight ??? (Most Important Factor) 5.Young et al 2002 6.National Institutes of Health 14.Malhotra et al 2002 • About 70% of those with OSA are obese (14) • Higher BMI associated with higher prevalence – BMI>30: 26% with AHI>15, 60% with AHI>5 – BMI>40: 33% with AHI>15, 98% with AHI>5 Obese people have extrinsic narrowing of the area surrounding collapsible region of the pharynx and regional soft tissue enlargement. Increased fat deposits posteriolateral to oropharyngeal airspace at level of soft palate, in the soft palate, and in submental area. Risk factors for Obstructive sleep apnea(6) 8
9. • Sex : Male are more likely than Female to have sleep apnea. • Age : the risk increases as you get older. • A family history of sleep apnea.

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.
2. Sleep is essential for a
person’s health and
wellbeing, according to the
National Sleep Foundation
(NSF)
3. Yet millions of people do not get enough
sleep and many suffer from the ill effects
of sleep deprivation .
4. Surveys Conducted by the NSF reveal
that at least 40 million Americans
suffer from over 70 different sleep
disorders
5. 60 percent of adults report having
sleep problems a few nights a week
or more.
6. additionally, more than
40 percent of adults
experience daytime
sleepiness severe
enough to interfere
with their daily
activities - with 20
percent reporting
problem sleepiness a
few days a week or
more.
7. snoring and sleep apnea
Many of these Problems
Stem from issues
Related to
8. It is hypothesized that roughly 1 in
every 15 Americans is affected by
at least a moderate degree of
obstructive sleep apnea.
Sleep Apnea is a sleeping disorder characterized by
pauses in breathing that could last up to a minute long
or instances of very low breathing during sleep
9. snoringis known to cause sleep
deprivation not only to snorers, but
those around them.
It also leads to daytime drowsiness,
irritability, a lack of focus and
decreased sex drive.
10. New studies associate loud
"snoring" with the development
of carotid artery
atherosclerosis, and the risk of
brain damage and stroke.
11. Luckily, there is a product that
may provide a safe and
effective solution
13. SnoreFree is the first patented
thermoplastic (custom) form-fitting
oral appliance that gently postures
the jaw in an advanced or open
position thereby creating increased
airflow that eliminates snoring.
15. This relaxation obstructs the airway
(windpipe) which causes normal
breathing to vibrate against the soft
tissue thus snoring occurs.
SnoreFree pushes the jaw into
awake position eliminating the
vibrations as well as the sound.
16. Additionally, SnoreFree is clinically
tested to eliminate snoring, reduces
medical conditions related to sleep
apnea and helps with Bruxism or teeth
grinding.
