A recent study from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) has uncovered an intriguing link between CPAP therapy and the aging process. The study suggests that CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnea may play a role in slowing down cellular aging. This discovery could have significant implications for both sleep medicine and aging research.

🚨 Is Sleep Apnea in REM Threatening Your Patients’ Memory? 🚨 In the latest edition of More Than Teeth🦷, we uncover groundbreaking research linking REM sleep apnea to memory decline, especially in those at high risk for Alzheimer’s. 🔍 Key Insights: • REM Sleep Impact: Severe REM-related OSA drastically lowers verbal memory performance, as measured by AHI and ODI. • Genetic Vulnerability: Older adults and APOE4 carriers show significant memory decline, needing targeted intervention. • REM vs. NREM: REM sleep apnea poses a greater cognitive threat due to longer apneas and severe desaturations. 🛠️ Practical Tips: 1. Comprehensive Screening: Focus on REM sleep disturbances. 2. Targeted Interventions: Proactively manage REM-related OSA with CPAP or oral appliances. 3. Educate Patients: Highlight the cognitive risks and treatment benefits. https://buff.ly/4cHpNGb #DentalSleepMedicine #Alzheimers #SleepApnea #PatientCare #MoreThanTeeth🦷

Diagnosing sleep disorders is not just crucial, it's life-changing. Diagnosing sleep apnea is crucial because it can have serious implications for overall health. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to a range of health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and daytime fatigue. By diagnosing sleep apnea early, individuals can receive appropriate treatment and potentially prevent or manage these health complications, ultimately improving their quality of life and longevity. At NCSSM, we cover all of the essentials of Sleep Technology, from an overview of sleep disorders, to electrode placement and polysomnography, to how to provide excellent patient care.

✅ Key takeaways: ‼️ Tonsil removal reduced behavioral problems, sleep symptoms and blood pressure in children with mild sleep apnea. ‼️ Disease-specific and generic life quality improved with adenotonsillectomy vs. watchful waiting.

What a paper: "Hypocretin-1/Orexin-A, Sleep and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Patients with Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus: A Cross-Sectional Cohort Study" Our study highlights: • There is sleep impairment and excessive daytime sleepiness in elderly patients after NCSE • Hypocretin-1/Orexin-A concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid decreased in 20% of patients with NCSE • Hypocretin-1/Orexin-A concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid have a significant correlation with stage N1 NREM • Hypocretin-1/Orexin-A concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid have a significant correlation with deoxygenation • Excessive daytime sleepiness has a significant association with OSA in elderly patients with NCSE

Feeling sleep deprived? Creatine might be your answer. A new study from Scientific Reports reveals that a single, high dose of creatine can significantly improve cognitive performance in sleep-deprived individuals. This could be a game-changer for professionals like healthcare workers, firefighters, and anyone working night shifts who must remain sharp despite lack of sleep. While creatine is often associated with muscle energy in athletes, its potential benefits for brain health are gaining attention. This finding adds to existing research that has already hinted at creatine's potential to enhance cognitive functions, making it a promising tool for mental sharpness. Creatine is not just for athletes; its benefits for brain health are now coming into the spotlight. The research indicates that creatine helps the brain generate energy quickly and efficiently, particularly under stress like sleep deprivation. However, before we get too excited, it's important to note that the study used a very high dose of creatine monohydrate (0.35 g/kg) , which may not be safe for regular use. More research is needed to determine optimal dosing that is both effective and safe. As we look forward to more studies, this initial finding opens up intriguing possibilities for enhancing cognitive function when we need it most. 𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘨
