Can the position of the #hyoid alter the upper airway & obstructive #sleep #apnea treatment? Our study in @japplphysiol shows that a lower #hyoid increases airway collapsibility and impacts the effectiveness of surgical repositioning. https://t.co/anVV9u1G56

The hyoid bone’s inferior baseline position in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has led to surgical hyoid repositioning (SHR) treatment, yet outcomes vary widely. The influence of baseline hyoid...

Exploring new solutions for sleep apnea, our researchers review hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) as a promising alternative to traditional treatments. By stimulating tongue muscles to keep the airway open, HGNS could reduce serious health risks associated with sleep apnea.

Happy #SleepHealthWeek! Are you getting enough shut eye to keep them open for a longer and healthier life?
Welcome to #SleepHealthWeek 2023! Alongside diet and exercise, sleep is one of the three pillars of health. This week, we'll be highlighting the pivotal role sleep plays in health, and how this is embodied in this year's theme: Better Sleep. Better Health. #sleephealth

Interesting meta-analysis comparing select substances in causing #sleep disturbances in adolescents. Note: #Insomnia = trouble falling and/or staying asleep. #Hypersomnolence = excessive daytime sleepiness. S-RBD = sleep-related #breathing disorders
The findings of this study revealed a high prevalence of #sleep disturbances among adolescents with substance use, and it was higher among marijuana users compared to alcohol users, coffee users, and smokers. https://t.co/rb7cL0lacw
