Symptoms And Signs

AbstractObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by symptoms and signs of more than 5 apneas per hour (AHI) at polysomnography or 15 or more apneas per hour without symptoms. In this review, the focus will be a subgroup of patients: adult non-obese subjects with OSA and their specific features. In non-obese OSA patients (patients with BMI < 30 kg/m2), there are specific polysomnographic features which reflect specific pathophysiological traits. Previous authors identified an anatomical factor (cranial anatomical factors, retrognatia, etc.) in OSA non-obese. We have hypothesized that in this subgroup of patients, there could be a non-anatomical pathological prevalent trait. Little evidence exists regarding the role of low arousal threshold. This factor could explain the difficulty in treating OSA in non-obese patients and emphasizes the importance of a specific therapeutic approach for each patient.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to assess the factors associated with periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS) among obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients and identify the role of PLMS in patients with OSAS. 303 adult patients with OSAS were included in the study. All patients completed physical examination, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), and polysomnography. Diagnosis of PLMS was made if the periodic leg movements index (PLMI) was ≥ 15. Chi-square test, ANOVA, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with PLMS among OSAS patients. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 26.0 for mac. Statistically significant difference was considered if P value < 0 .05. Among the 303 adult patients with OSAS, 98 patients had significant PLMS and the other 205 had no significant PLMS. Compared with OSAS patients without PLMS, OSAS patient with PLMS were older, had shorter REM duration and greater apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) (P < 0.05). The study suggests that PLMS is a matter of concern among patients with OSAS. A better understanding of the role of PLMS among OSAS patients could be useful in better recognition, intervention and treatment of OSAS.

The results of recent studies indicate the potential role of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), as an inhibitory mediator of the central nervous system, in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) ‒ a common disorder that often accompanies asthma. The aim of the study was to investigate the possible role of some GABAergic system genetic polymorphisms in the formation of OSAS in asthma patients. Overnight cardiorespiratory monitoring was performed to diagnose OSAS and spirometry was conducted to evaluate the airway reactivity to the bronchodilator fenoterol in 184 asthma patients. Polymorphisms of GAD1, GAD2, GABBR1 and GABBR2 genes (15 polymorphisms in total) were genotyped by LATE-PCR method. Significant results were obtained for rs3749034 polymorphism of GAD1 gene and rs35400353 of GABBR2 in association analysis with the presence of OSAS. rs3749034 significantly influenced the presence of OSAS in males, which was accompanied by the predominance of the CC genotype among patients with OSAS, while CT+TT genotypes were more common in patients without OSAS (OR 3.9 95%CI [1.36–11.67], p=0.01). In total sample GAD1 rs3749034 polymorphism was an independent factor increasing the likelihood of having OSAS after adjustment for significant confounders (OR 1.9 95%CI [1.23–3.15], p=0.005). rs35400353 polymorphism was also associated with OSAS after adjustment for confounders, although its relationship was less significant (OR 1.5 95%CI [1.1–2.3], p=0.04). There was a tendency for interrelation with airway hyperresponsiveness to bronchodilator for both polymorphisms: rs3749034 ‒ in case of CT+TT genotypes, rs35400353 ‒ in case of DD genotype. rs3749034 polymorphism also significantly influenced lung function parameters. After additional verification of the results, the identified genetic polymorphisms may be used to individually predict the risk of OSAS as well as for the development of personalized approaches in asthma treatment using GABA.
