Summary: This study demonstrates that the SNoRE 3.0 questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for monitoring dog sleep, providing a cost-effective alternative to labor-intensive and expensive methods. Additionally, a moderate positive correlation was found between SNoRE scores and cognitive performance in companion dogs.

Summary: This study demonstrates that alcohol consumption may interfere with the results of home sleep apnea tests utilizing peripheral arterial tone (PAT HSAT), leading to false negative results. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the performance of PAT HSATs with and without alcohol. In the meantime, testing should be conducted without alcohol and over multiple nights.

Summary: Using UWB radar for monitoring sleep in children can achieve accurate wake and sleep classification, but lower accuracy in classifying different sleep stages. While the current performance is not sufficient for clinical use yet, UWB radar is considered a promising method for non-contact sleep analysis in children.

Summary: The value of long-term average spectrum in acoustic analysis of snore sounds from different sources in the upper airway was investigated. Snore sounds were divided into soft-palate and lateral-wall types based on vibration site and soft tissue collapse patterns identified by drug-induced sleep endoscopy. Differences in various parameters were observed between the two groups, with the first spectral peak and 0-1 kHz/1-5 kHz difference being significant indicators of soft-palate-type snore sounds.

Summary: Sleep apnea is negatively associated with sleep N3 stage in adults, while the association between chronic tinnitus and N3 stage is inconclusive. Multivariate analysis shows that apnea-hyponea index has a significant negative impact on sleep N3 stage, but chronic tinnitus does not show a significant association.

Summary: The results suggest that one-stage multilevel surgery is a safe and successful treatment option for patients who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), with significant improvements in postoperative AHI and ESS scores.

Summary: Sleep is crucial for a healthy life, and this study developed a computational framework that automatically classifies sleep stages and evaluates the risk of obstructive sleep apnea based on sleep EEG data. The results show the feasibility of using AI and wearable devices to assess individuals' sleep status conveniently and enable early detection and intervention of sleep disorders.

Summary: Cardiac ventilation issues can be life-threatening, and sleep snore analysis is the best way to diagnose. These issues are caused by problems with air pressure and blood circulation in the heart valves. Understanding the pathophysiology of OSA has a direct impact on clinical treatment choices and research design.

Summary: This article proposes a novel low-cost flexible patch with MEMS microphone and accelerometer for snore detection and sleeping posture monitoring. The patch also includes a small vibration motor to suppress snoring. Theoretical analyses of short-time energy, piecewise average filtering, and Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients processing are described in detail. The combination of similarity analysis and CNN analysis achieves a high accuracy of 99.25% in snore recognition. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in snore recognition and suppression.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between sleep apnea and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. The results indicate that both central and obstructive sleep apnea are associated with increased mortality. Early identification and treatment of sleep apnea may improve survival in this population.

Summary: The study conducted a large-scale evaluation of the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing and associated factors in a general population in Benin, west Africa. The high prevalence of SDB identified in the study should encourage the development of public health policies to address and manage this condition in African countries.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of Belun Ring with second-generation deep learning algorithms in detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), categorizing OSA severity, and classifying sleep stages. The results showed that Belun Ring achieved good accuracy in OSA detection and demonstrated moderate-to-substantial agreement in categorizing OSA severity and classifying sleep stages.

Summary: The study on exhaust emissions of alcohol/diesel fuel blends has shown an increasing interest in the field, especially in reducing noise emissions. Experimental results indicated that while diesel fuel had the best performance in noise emissions, butanol blends exhibited the least deviation from diesel fuel in terms of noise emissions.

Summary: Increased risk of all-cause mortality has been linked to chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to determine if mortality is higher in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and a sleep disorder diagnosis. The study used the United States Renal Data System database to analyze the effect of sleep disorder diagnoses on mortality in ESRD patients. The findings suggest that the diagnosis of a sleep disorder may be associated with improved survival in ESRD patients.
