Sleep Apnea

Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associates with Neuropsychological Deficits and Neuronal Brain Injury
Childhood obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with neuropsychological deficits of memory, learning, and executive function.

Neural and Neurobehavioral Dysfunction in Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Research has confirmed what many parents have long suspected: inadequate sleep in children is associated with daytime behavioral problems and poor academic functioning.

Effects of CPAP on right ventricular myocardial performance index in obstructive sleep apnea patients without hypertension
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) might cause right ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. We aimed to determine the effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on right ventricular myocardial performance index (MPI) in OSA patients without hypertension.

This study will determine if mirtazapine, a unique antidepressant that does not disturb sleep, will improve obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The design is randomized, crossover, double blind, and placebo controlled.
