    Abstract:
    Objectives : Several studies have reported that oropharyngeal myofunctional therapy (OMT) reduces the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, because OMT protocols are often complicated, they take time and effort to implement. The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effect of 8 weeks of simple tongue strength training with a training device.

    Community studies of problems with breathing during sleep suggest that sleep-disordered breathing is a better general term than sleep apnoea. Male sex, increasing age and increasing neck size are the main factors differentiating people with from those without sleep-disordered breathing. The contribution of sleep-disordered breathing to morbidity has not been established. Future research should address the possible cardiovascular associations of sleep-disordered breathing, its impact on sleepiness in the community, and the cost-effectiveness of treatment.

    Sleep is imperative for good health and problems related to sleep are common presentations to primary care. Disorders affecting breathing and sleep are varied in their causes and affect multiple body systems. The majority of patients with sleep-disordered breathing remain undiagnosed. This article will consider the pathophysiology of sleep-disordered breathing, how GPs can identify patients with sleep-disordered breathing and how these are managed in primary care.

    Sleep-disordered breathing (obstructive and central sleep apnea) is common in persons who have had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). This article describes both sleep-disordered breathing and CVAs and reviews the related risk factors that link them together. In addition, the article discusses sleep-disordered breathing after CVA. The article concludes by presenting the clinical implications of this topic for nurses.

    The term "sleep disordered breathing" encompasses several conditions. This article gives definitions for and discusses the types of sleep disordered breathing. It also looks at the use of prosthetic devices and surgery to treat those problems and provides a suggested treatment algorithm.
