Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common breathing disorder in which the airways narrow or collapse during sleep, causing obstructive apnea. The prevalence of OSAS continues to rise worldwide, particularly middle-aged and elderly individuals. mechanism upper airway incompletely understood but associated with several factors, including obesity, craniofacial changes, altered muscle function airway, pharyngeal neuropathy, fluid shifts neck. main characteristics are recurrent pauses respiration, lead intermittent hypoxia (IH) hypercapnia, accompanied by blood oxygen desaturation arousal sharply increases risk diseases. This paper first briefly describes epidemiology, incidence, pathophysiological mechanisms OSAS. Next, alterations relevant signaling pathways induced IH systematically reviewed discussed. For example, can induce gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis, impair intestinal barrier, alter metabolites. These ultimately secondary oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, sympathetic activation. We then summarize effects on disease pathogenesis, cardiocerebrovascular disorders, neurological metabolic diseases, cancer, reproductive COVID-19. Finally, different therapeutic strategies for caused causes proposed.

Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly recognized for its link to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Histone lysine demethylase 6B (KDM6B) may either prevent or promote organ fibrosis, but specific role in IPF yet be clarified. This study aimed investigate function and of KDM6B exacerbating effects OSA. We assessed levels lung tissues from patients, mouse models, a dual‐hit model combining OSA‐associated intermittent hypoxia (IH) with bleomycin (BLM) TGF‐β1. evaluated myofibroblast activation, oxidative stress. were elevated patients BLM‐treated mice, as well TGF‐β1‐stimulated myofibroblasts. Importantly, IH significantly worsened BLM‐induced TGF‐β1‐induced further amplifying expression both vivo vitro. Inhibition reduced decreased fibroblast activation migration models. Mechanistically, inhibition led NOX4 plays critical promoting mediating OSA on this condition. Our findings identify novel potential therapeutic target IPF.

Background/Objectives: This systematic review explores the integration of digital and AI-enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia, focusing on underlying neurocognitive mechanisms associated clinical outcomes. Insomnia significantly impairs functioning, overall health, quality life. Although traditional CBT has demonstrated efficacy, its scalability ability to deliver individualized care remain limited. Emerging AI-driven interventions-including chatbots, mobile applications, web-based platforms-present innovative avenues delivering more accessible personalized insomnia treatments. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, this synthesized findings from 78 studies published between 2004 2024. A search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web Science, PsycINFO. Studies were included based predefined criteria prioritizing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) high-quality empirical research that evaluated AI-augmented interventions targeting sleep disorders, particularly insomnia. Results: The suggest improves parameters, patient adherence, satisfaction, personalization in alignment with individual profiles. Moreover, these technologies address critical limitations conventional CBT, notably those related access scalability. AI-based tools appear especially promising optimizing treatment delivery adapting cognitive-behavioral patterns. Conclusions: While demonstrates strong potential advancing through broader accessibility, several challenges persist. These include uncertainties surrounding long-term practical implementation barriers, ethical considerations. Future large-scale longitudinal is necessary confirm sustained benefits AI-powered

With exercise being more frequently utilized in treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a systematic review of the intervention efficacy on OSA is necessary. PubMed, EBSCO, Web Science, VIP, and CNKI databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) applied from January 2000 2022. The literature screening, data extraction, risk bias assessment included studies conducted independently by two reviewers. Meta-analysis was then performed using Rev Man 5.4 software. A total 9 RCTs included, including 444 patients. Compared with control group, made an improvement apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) [MD = −6.65, 95% CI (−7.77, −5.53), p < 0.00001], minimum oxygen saturation (SaO2min%) 1.67, (0.82, 2.52), 0.0001], peak uptake (VO2peak) [SMD 0.54, (0.31, 0.78), Pittsburgh quality (PSQI) −2.08, (−3.95, −0.21), 0.03], Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) values −1.64, CI, (−3.07, −0.22), 0.02].

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of and hypopnea during sleep. It associated with various cardiovascular metabolic complications, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) obesity. Many pathways can be responsible for T2DM development in OSA patients, e.g., those related to HIF-1 SIRT1 expression. Moreover, epigenetic mechanisms, such as miRNA181a or miRNA199, are postulated play pivotal role this link. has been proven that increases the occurrence circadian clock disruption, which also risk factor disease development. Circadian disruption impairs metabolism glucose, lipids, secretion bile acids. Therefore, OSA-induced may potential, complex, underlying pathway involved developing exacerbating diseases among patients.
