The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and diverse types of pain conditions have been proposed. However, no consensus on the relationship between OSA and painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) has been established. Therefore, this systematic review has been conducted to review the existing literatures and provide comprehensive synthesis of such literatures about OSA and painful TMDs using the evidence-based methodology. A literature search was conducted using two electronic databases, Scopus, and PubMed. Risk of bias was assessed using the risk-of-bias assessment tool for non-randomized study version 2.0. A total of 158 articles were screened from the initial search and eventually, 5 articles were included in this systematic review. One study adopted both the longitudinal prospective cohort and case-control designs and other 4 articles adopted the cross-sectional design. Two studies employed polysomnography (PSG) for the diagnosis of OSA and mentioned the results from the PSG. All cross-sectional studies demonstrated higher OSA prevalence among patients with TMD, and one cohort study suggested OSA as a risk factor for TMD. OSA appears to have potential influences on the development of TMD; however, the role of TMD in the development of OSA remains to be unknown owing to the lack of high-quality evidences.

As the demand for quality sleep increases in modern society, the importance of sleep technology has increased. Recently, development of sleep environment improvement products and research on the user's sleep improvement have been activated. Representatively, user sleep pattern analysis research is being conducted through the existing polysomnography, but it is difficult to use it in the sleep environment of daily life. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system design that can provide a customized deep sleep service to users by detecting sleep disturbance factors in a motion bed environment. In order to improve the user's sleep satisfaction, a logistic regression-based sleep pattern analysis model is proposed and accuracy and significance are verified through experiments. And to improve user's sleep satisfaction, we propose a logistic regression-based sleep pattern analysis model and verify accuracy and significance through experiments. The proposed system is expected to improve the user's sleep quality and effectively prevent and manage sleep disorders.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-breathing disorder associated with significant comorbidities and perioperative complications. This narrative review is aimed at comprehensively overviewing preoperative risk evaluation and perioperative management strategies for patients with OSA. OSA is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep leading to hypoxemia and arousal. Anatomical features, such as upper airway narrowing and obesity, contribute to the development of OSA. OSA can be diagnosed based on polysomnography findings, and positive airway pressure therapy is the mainstay of treatment. However, alternative therapies, such as oral appliances or upper airway surgery, can be considered for patients with intolerance. Patients with OSA face perioperative challenges due to difficult airway management, comorbidities, and effects of sedatives and analgesics. Anatomical changes, reduced upper airway muscle tone, and obesity increase the risks of airway obstruction, and difficulties in intubation and mask ventilation. OSA-related comorbidities, such as cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, further increase perioperative risks. Sedatives and opioids can exacerbate respiratory depression and compromise airway patency. Therefore, careful consideration of alternative pain management options is necessary. Although the association between OSA and postoperative mortality remains controversial, concerns exist regarding adverse outcomes in patients with OSA. Understanding the pathophysiology of OSA, implementing appropriate preoperative evaluations, and tailoring perioperative management strategies are vital to ensure patient safety and optimize surgical outcomes.

Sleep apnea (SA) is a common chronic sleep disorder that disrupts breathing during sleep. Clinically, the standard for diagnosing SA involves nocturnal polysomnography (PSG). However, this requires expert human intervention and considerable time, which limits the availability of SA diagnoses in public health sectors. Therefore, ECG-based methods for SA detection have been proposed to automate the PSG procedure and reduce its discomfort. We propose a preprocessing method to convert the one-dimensional time series of ECG into two-dimensional images using the Gramian Angular Field (GAF) algorithm, extract temporal features, and use a two-dimensional convolutional neural network for classification. The results of this study demonstrated that the proposed method can perform SA detection with specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, and area under the curve (AUC) of 88.89%, 81.50%, 86.11%, and 0.85, respectively. Our experimental results show that SA is successfully classified by extracting preprocessing transforms with temporal features.

The apnea-hypopnea index is widely regarded as a measure of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition characterized by recurrent episodes of apnea or hypopnea during sleep that induce airway collapse. OSA is a catastrophic problem due to the wide range of health issues it can cause, including cardiovascular disease and memory loss. This review was conducted to clarify the roles of various imaging modalities, particularly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in the diagnosis of and preoperative planning for OSA. Unfortunately, 2-dimensional imaging techniques yield insufficient data for a comprehensive diagnosis, given the complex anatomy of the airway. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is favored as it more accurately represents the patient's airway structure. Although computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can depict the actual 3D airway architecture, their use is limited by factors such as high radiation dose and noise associated with the scans. This review indicates that CBCT is a low-radiation imaging technique that can be used to incidentally identify patients with OSA, thereby facilitating early referral and ultimately enhancing the accuracy of surgical outcome predictions.

연구배경: 만성신부전 환자들은 수면과 관련된 호흡장애가 흔히 동반되는데 특히 수면 무호흡은 이들 환자의 심혈관계 기능부전을 더욱 악화시켜 장기 사망률에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각된다. 혈액투석 유지요법은 만성신부전에 의한 대사장애를 교정하기 위하여 시행되는 가장 보편적인 내과적 치료법이지만, 이 방법이 수면 무호흡을 포함한 수면장애를 개선시킬 수 있는지 여부는 명확하지 않다. 저자들은 혈액투석 유지요법이 수면의 질과 수면과 관련된 호흡장애, 특히 수면 무호흡에 미치는 영향에 대해 관찰하고자 하였다. 방 법: 혈액투석 유지요법을 받고 있는 만성신부전 환자 47명을 대상으로 수면설문지검사를 시행하여 수면장애와 관련된 임상증상을 조사하였고, 이들 중 15명을 대상으로 혈액투석 전과 후에 수면다원검사, 혈중 신기능검사 및 전해질검사, 동맥혈가스분석을 시행하여 비교하였다. 결 과: 수면설문지검사를 시행한 47명중 40명(85.1%)이 수면-각성 주기의 장애와 관련된 임상증상을 호소하였으며. 55.3%가 코골음이 있다고 답변하였고, 27.7%의 환자는 수면 중 타인에 의해 무호흡이 관찰된 적이 있다고 답변하였다. 급속안구운동수면 시간이 혈액투석 전에 비하여 혈액투석 후에 증가하였다(p<0.05). 비급속안구운동수면 시간이 전체 수면시간에서 차지하는 백분율은 혈액투석 후에 감소하였고(p<0.05), 1단계 및 2단계 비급속안구운동수면이 전체 수면시간에서 차지히는 백분율은 혈액투석 후에 짧아지는 경향을 보였으나(p=0.051), 3단계 및 4단계 비급속안구운동수면은 혈액 투석 전후에 차이가 없었다. 수면 무호흡의 유형은 혈액투석 전과 후 모두에서 폐쇄성이 중추성에 비하여 우세하였으며, 혈액투석후의 무호흡지수 및 무호흡-저호흡지수는 혈액투석 전에 비하여 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈액투석 후에 혈액뇨질소(BUN), 혈중 creatinine, potassium 및 phosphorus 농도는 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.05), 혈중 sodium 및 chloride 농도는 변화가 없었으며, 혈액투석 전과 후의 이들 검사 결과와 수면구조를 포함한 수면다원검사 각 지표와는 상호관련성이 없었다. 동맥혈가스분석에서 pH는 혈액투석 전에 비하여 혈액투석 후에 감소하였으나(p<0.05). $PaO_2$, $PaCO_2$ 및 $HCO_3^-$는 변화가 없었고, 혈액투석 전과후의 동맥혈가스분석 결과와 수면구조를 포함한 수면다원검사 각 지표와는 상호 관련성이 없었다. 결 론: 만성신부전은 수면장애를 유발할 수 있는 중요한 전신질환이다. 혈액투석 유지요법은 만성신부전 환자에서 시행되는 가장 보편적인 치료법이지만 수면구조 및 수면 무호흡을 효과적으로 개선시키지 못하였다. 따라서 만성신부전 환자를 치료함에 있어서는 혈액투석에 의한 대사장애의 적절한 교정과 더불어 수면장애의 치료에 대한 적극적인 고려가 필요하다고 생각한다.

Background The indications for surgical airway management in patients with Robin sequence (RS) and severe airway obstruction have not been well defined. While certain patients with RS clearly require surgical airway intervention and other patients just as clearly can be managed with conservative measures alone, a significant proportion of patients with RS present with a more confusing and ambiguous clinical course. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical features and objective findings of patients with RS whose airways were successfully managed without surgical intervention. Methods The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of infants with RS evaluated for potential surgical airway management between 1994 and 2014. Patients who were successfully managed without surgical intervention were included. Patient demographics, nutritional and respiratory status, laboratory values, and polysomnography (PSG) findings were recorded. Results Thirty-two infants met the inclusion criteria. The average hospital stay was 16.8 days (range, 5-70 days). Oxygen desaturation (<70% by pulse oximetry) occurred in the majority of patients and was managed with temporary oxygen supplementation by nasal cannula (59%) or endotracheal intubation (31%). Seventy-five percent of patients required a temporary nasogastric tube for nutritional support, and a gastrostomy tube placed was placed in 9%. All patients continued to gain weight following the implementation of these conservative measures. PSG data (n=26) demonstrated mild to moderate obstruction, a mean apneahypopnea index (AHI) of $19.2{\pm}5.3events/hour$, and an oxygen saturation level <90% during only 4% of the total sleep time. Conclusions Nonsurgical airway management was successful in patients who demonstrated consistent weight gain and mild to moderate obstruction on PSG, with a mean AHI of <20 events/hour.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the difference between gustatory functions in a sleep disordered breathing (SDB) group and a control group. The pathogenesis of SDB has not been fully understood. Though the precise contributions of neuromuscular and anatomical factors on SDB pathogenesis are still debated, we hypothesized that the gustatory dysfunction could be predisposed to SDB. Methods: All patients were diagnosed as SDB by polysomnography (PSG). On the basis of PSG results, patients were divided into 3 groups: snoring, mixed, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The control group comprised healthy volunteers who were the same age as those of the SDB group and whose breathing was verified as normal using a portable sleep monitor device. The patient group and the control group were evaluated for gustatory functions with an electrogustometry (EGM). The electrical taste thresholds were measured in the anterior, midlateral, and posterior sides of the tongue and soft palatal regions, both sides. To find out the difference in EGM scores, statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-wallis and Mann-Whitney U test with 95% confidence interval and p<0.05 significance level. Results: The patients with SDB had higher EGM scores than the control group at all spots tested, except for the right midlateral of the tongue, and there was a statistical significance in the comparison between the control group and the divided SDB groups, respectively. Among the divided SDB groups, the snoring group had the most significant differences in the number of the measured spots, but there was no difference among the snoring, mixed, and OSA groups. Conclusions: These results may suggest that neurologic alterations with sleep disordered breathing could be associated with gustatory dysfunction. In the future, further systemic studies will be needed to confirm this study.

Since Hans Berger reported the first paper on the human electroencephalogram in 1920s, huge technological advance have made it possible to use a number of electrophysiological approaches to neurological diagnosis in clinical neurology. In majority of the neurology training hospitals they have facilities of electroencephalography(EEG), electromyography(EMG), evoked potentials(EP), polysomnography(PSG), electronystagmography(ENG) and, transcranial doppler(TCD) ete. Clinicials and electrophysiologists should understand the technologic characteristics and general applications of each electrophysiological studies to get useful informations with using them in clinics. It is generally agreed that items of these tests are selected under the clinical examination, the tests are performed by the experts, and the test results are interpretated under the clinical background. Otherwise these tests are sometimes useless and lead clinicians to misunderstand the lesion site, the nature of disease, or the disease course. In this sense the clinical utility of neurophysiological tests could be summerized in the followings. First, the abnormal functioning of the nervous system and its environments can be demonstrated when the history and neurological examinations are equivocal. Second, the presence of clinically unsuspected malfunction in the nervous system can be revealed by those tests. Finally the objective changes can be monitored over time in the patient's status. Also intraoperative monitoring technique becomes one of the important procedures when the major operations in the posterior fossa or in the spinal cord are performed. In 1996, the Korean Society for Clinical Neurophysiology(KSCN) was founded with the hope that it will provide the members with the comfortable place for discussing their clinical and academic experience, exchanging new informations, and learning new techniques of the neurophysiological tests. The KSCN could collaborate with the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology(IFCN) to improve the level of the clinical neurophysiologic field in Korea as will as in Asian region.1 In this paper the clinical neurophysiological tests which are commonly used in clinical neurology and which will be delt with and educated by the KSCN in the future will be discussed briefly in order of EEG, EMG, EP, PSG, TCD, ENG, and Intraoperative monitoring.
