Two therapies for #SleepApnea in obesity:
One gives symptomatic relief.
The other does that and also prevents death.
Except for unwarranted #stigma, we would expect preference for the latter, #MetabolicSurgery.
New data from #ASMBS2023.

Weight is a major risk factor for obstructive #SleepApnea. Researchers found a mathematical relationship between BMI and AHI: for every 7-pound drop in weight, expect a 7% drop in AHI. Read the @JCSMJournal@twitter.com study: http://bit.ly/3FeQRhT

#Introduction

Hi Mastodon! I am a #neuroscientist working on understanding the links between #sleep and #Alzheimersdisease.

During my #PhD, I investigated how #sleepapnea, #sleepfragmentation and #EEGrhythms relate to #neurodegeneration and #amyloid deposition.

As a #postdoc at #UMontreal, I am investigating the associations between #REMsleep, the #basalforebrain and the #cholinergicsystem in #aging and #MCI.

I am also a member of the #ISTAART #SleepPIA executive committee.

#MRI #PET #EEG

Just out! Single Cell RNAseq uncovers cellular heterogeneity and provides a signature for pediatric sleep apnea. Kudos Drs Cortese and Gozal #SleepApnea #Pediatrics #scRNASeq https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/early/2022/09/22/13993003.01465-2022
