Background: Continuous positive airway pressure is a cost-effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but in case of craniofacial anomalies, which have a recognized role in OSA development, maxillary-mandibular advancement surgery is a recommended therapeutic option. Clinical Presentation: We describe a patient with severe OSA (apnea-hypo...

... 8 months post-surgery, the face profile was considerably improved (reduction of the convexity and malposition, increase of the neck-chin distance, close nasolabial angle) ( Figure 6). Following orthodontic treatment, dental malocclusion was corrected (Figure 7). The comparison of the pre-and post-surgery cephalometric images showed a broadening of the posterior space at the level of the tongue base and highlighted the maxillary impaction, the mandibular advancement, and the anterior maxillary and mandibular rotation ( Figures 3B & 8). ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), independently of obesity (OBS), predisposes to insulin resistance (IR) for largely unknown reasons. Since OSA-related intermittent hypoxia triggers lipolysis, overnight increases in circulating free fatty acid (FFA) including palmitic acid (PA) may lead to ectopic intramuscular lipid accumulation potentially contribut...
PurposeObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent and multifaceted disease. To date, the presence and severity of objectively identified comorbidities and their association with specific OSA phenotypes, CPAP adherence, and survival remain to be elucidated. The aim of this study is to cluster patients with OSA based on 10 clinically important obje...
