Sleep & Breathing = Schlaf & Atmung

Abstract

Snoring has received increased attention over the last years. Given its high prevalence and its impact on quality of life, diagnosis and treatment of snoring are of major importance. This guideline aims to promote high-quality care by medical specialists for adults who snore. Before every intervention, a medical history, clinical examination and sleep test need to be performed. There is no need to treat snoring unless requested by the snorer. Invasive treatments should be selected with care; for surgical treatment, minimally invasive procedures are preferred. Weight reduction; the avoidance of sleeping pills, alcohol and nicotine; and a regular sleep-wake cycle can be recommended, although convincing evidence is lacking. Since currently, there is not enough evidence to confirm the effectiveness of muscle stimulation or other forms of muscle training, these treatments cannot be recommended. Snoring can be treated successfully with intraoral devices, but it is essential to select suitable subjects. Devices preventing sleep in the supine position can also be helpful in selected cases. The data on the success rates of surgical intervention are often limited to short-term follow-up studies, and not all interventions have been suffic...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
