Desipramine improves upper airway collapsibility and reduces OSA severity in patients with minimal muscle compensation
…, BA Edwards, A Azarbarzin, M Marques… - European …, 2016 - Eur Respiratory Soc
We recently demonstrated that desipramine reduces the sleep-related loss of upper airway
dilator muscle activity and reduces pharyngeal collapsibility in healthy humans without …

Identifying obstructive sleep apnoea patients responsive to supplemental oxygen therapy
…, A Azarbarzin, M Marques… - European …, 2018 - Eur Respiratory Soc
A possible precision-medicine approach to treating obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) involves
targeting ventilatory instability (elevated loop gain) using supplemental inspired oxygen in …

Desipramine increases genioglossus activity and reduces upper airway collapsibility during non-REM sleep in healthy subjects
…, BA Edwards, SA Sands, M Marques… - American journal of …, 2016 - atsjournals.org
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea is a state-dependent disease. One of the key factors that
triggers upper airway collapse is decreased pharyngeal dilator muscle activity during sleep. …

Predicting epiglottic collapse in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea
A Azarbarzin, M Marques, SA Sands… - European …, 2017 - Eur Respiratory Soc
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is characterised by pharyngeal obstruction occurring at
different sites. Endoscopic studies reveal that epiglottic collapse renders patients at higher risk …

Effect of sleeping position on upper airway patency in obstructive sleep apnea is determined by the pharyngeal structure causing collapse
Objectives: In some patients, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be resolved with improvement
in pharyngeal patency by sleeping lateral rather than supine, possibly as gravitational …

Study Objectives Oral appliance therapy is an increasingly common option for treating
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients who are intolerant to continuous positive airway …
