ABSTRACT
El síndrome de apnea e hipopnea obstructiva del sueño se caracteriza por episodios repetitivos de obstrucción de vía aérea superior y es reconocida cada vez más, como un trastorno heterogéneo y complejo, proponiéndose múltiples fenotipos en base a su mecanismo patogénico, alteraciones polisomnográficas y la presentación clínica. El fenotipo clínico se enfoca en identificar características de un paciente basándose en signos, síntomas, antropometría, comorbilidades, medidas fisiológicas, anatómicas o respuesta al tratamiento. Al ser una enfermedad sub diagnosticada, de alta prevalencia y que produce elevada morbi-mortalidad, se debe estar atento a la pesquisa precoz y en las poblaciones de riesgo. Su diagnóstico se basa en el índice de apnea-hipopnea (IAH) y se requiere un IAH 5 eventos/hora para confirmar el diagnóstico. Sin embargo, cada vez hay más evidencia que el IAH por sí solo es insuficiente para comprender la presentación clínica, respuesta al tratamiento, calidad de vida y mortalidad de los pacientes con apnea del sueño. El fenotipo clínico puede servir de este modo, para entender mejor las diferentes formas de presentación teniendo como finalidad la medicina personalizada con el objetivo de favorecer la conducta terapéutica individualizada. El objetivo de esta revisión es abordar los fenotipos clínicos y proponer una huella digital en los pacientes con apnea del sueño
Obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction and is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous and complex disorder, proposing multiple phenotypes based on its pathogenic mechanism, polysomnographic alterations, and clinical presentation. The clinical phenotype focuses on identifying a patient's characteristics based on signs, symptoms, anthropometry, comorbidities, physiological, anatomical measures or response to treatment. As it is an underdiagnosed disease of high prevalence associated to high morbidity and mortality, we must be alert to early screening and risk populations. Diagnosis is based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) AHI 5 events/hour is required to confirm it, however, there is increasing evidence that AHI alone is insufficient to understand the clinical presentation, the response to treatment, the quality of life and the mortality of patients with sleep apnea. In this way, the clinical phenotype can serve to better understand the different forms of presentation and looks for a personalized medicine that favors an individualized therapeutic behavior. The aim of this review is to address clinical phenotypes and propose a fingerprint in patients with sleep apnea

Abstract Introduction: The interpretation of the speech results obtained with the buccinator myomucosal flap in the treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency in patients with cleft palate has been limited by the restriction in the number of patients and the time of postoperative follow-up. Objective: To evaluate the effect of the buccinator myomucosal flap on speech hypernasality in the treatment of patients with cleft palate and velopharyngeal insufficiency. Methods: Patients with repaired cleft palate (± lip) who were submitted to surgical correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency using the bilateral buccinator myomucosal flap were assessed. Hypernasality (scores 0 [absent], 1 [mild], 2 [moderate], or 3 [severe]) was analyzed by three evaluators by measuring the audiovisual records collected in early and late preoperative and postoperative periods (3 and 12 months, respectively). The values were considered significant for a 95% Confidence Interval (p < 0.05). Results: Thirty-seven patients with cleft palate (± lip) showing moderate (16.2%) or severe (83.8%) hypernasality in the preoperative period were included. Analyses of the late postoperative period showed that hypernasality (0.5 ± 0.7) was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than the hypernasality of the preoperative and recent postoperative periods (2.8 ± 0.4 and 1.7 ± 0.9, respectively). Conclusion: The buccinator myomucosal flap is effective in reducing/eliminating hypernasality in patients with cleft palate (± lip) and velopharyngeal insufficiency.
Resumo: Introdução: A interpretação dos resultados de fala obtidos com o retalho miomucoso do músculo bucinador no tratamento da insuficiência velofaríngea em pacientes fissurados tem sido limitada pela restrição do número de pacientes e do tempo de seguimento pós-operatório. Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito do retalho miomucoso do músculo bucinador sobre a hipernasalidade da fala no tratamento de pacientes fissurados com insuficiência velofaríngea. Método: Foram avaliados pacientes com fissura palatina (± lábio) reparada, com retalho miomucoso do músculo bucinador bilateral para a correção cirúrgica da insuficiência velofaríngea. A hipernasalidade (escores 0 [ausente], 1 [leve], 2 [moderada] ou 3 [severa]) foi analisada por três avaliadores por meio da mensuração dos registros audiovisuais coletados nos períodos pré-operatório e pós-operatórios recente e tardio (3 e 12 meses, respectivamente). Os valores foram considerados significativos para um intervalo de confiança de 95% (p < 0,05). Resultado: Foram incluídos 37 pacientes fissurados com hipernasalidade moderada (16,2%) ou severa (83,8%) no período pré-operatório. As análises do período pós-operatório tardio revelaram que a hipernasalidade (0,5 ± 0,7) foi significativamente (p < 0,05) menor do que a hipernasalidade dos períodos pré-operatório e pós-operatório recente (2,8 ± 0,4 e 1,7 ± 0,9; respectivamente). Conclusão: O retalho miomucoso do músculo bucinador é eficaz na redução/eliminação da hipernasalidade nos pacientes fissurados com insuficiência velofaríngea.

Antecedentes: La apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS) es un trastorno del sueño altamente prevalente producido por una obstrucción anatómica o neuromuscular de la vía aérea superior. Propósito: Identificar la asociación entre los índices antropométricos: circunferencia de cuello (CC), perímetro abdominal e índice de masa corporal (IMC), con la presencia de AOS en adultos. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo de casos y controles en 353 individuos entre 18 y 82 años de edad con diagnóstico polisomnográfico de AOS. Se correlacionó el índice apnea hipoapnea con los índices antropométricos y los datos demográficos. El grupo control estuvo conformado por 105 adultos sin AOS y el de estudio por 248 pacientes con diagnóstico de AOS. Para determinar la asociación entre las variables se utilizaron las pruebas de Chi cuadrado de Pearson y odds ratio. Resultados Se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el IMC y la CC, que estaban aumentados con la presencia de AOS en adultos. La presencia de AOS fue mayor en mujeres y hombres entre 56 y 82 años. Conclusiones: Las medidas antropométricas IMC y CC son factores de riesgo de AOS en adultos.
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep disorder caused by anatomic or neuromuscular obstructions. Purpose: To identify the association between anthropometric indexes: neck circumference (NC), abdominal perimeter, and Body Mass Index (BMI), and the presence of OSA in adults. Methods: A retrospective observational case-control study was carried out in 353 individuals between the ages of 18 and 82 years with a polysomnographic diagnosis of OSA. The Apnea-Hypopnea Index was correlated with the anthropometric indexes and demographic data. The control group consisted of 105 adults without OSA and the case group were 248 patients diagnosed with OSA. Pearson Chi-square and Odds Ratio (OR) tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: Statistically significant associations between increased BMI and NC with the presence of OSA in adults were found. The presence of OSA was greater in 56-to-82-year-old women and men. Conclusions: Anthropometric measures BMI and NC are OSA risk factors in adults.

Introduction: The success of pharyngeal surgery in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome depends on the appropriate selection of patients. Objective: To propose a new staging for indication of pharyngeal surgery in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Methods: A total of 54 patients undergoing extended tonsillectomy were retrospectively included, divided into six stages. Stage I: patients with palatine tonsils grade 3/4 and modified Mallampati index 1/2; stage II: palatine tonsils 3/4 and modified Mallampati index 3/4; stage III: palatine tonsils 1/2 and modified Mallampati index 1/2; stage IV: palatine tonsils 1/2 and modified Mallampati index 3/4; stage V: body mass index ≥40 kg/m2 with palatine tonsils 3/4 and modified Mallampati index 1, 2, 3, or 4. Stage VI: body mass index ≥40 with palatine tonsils 1/2 and modified Mallampati index 1, 2, 3, or 4. Results: The surgical success rates were 88.9%, 75.0%, 35.7%, 38.5%, and 100.0% in stages I–V. Conclusion: The presence of hypertrophic palatine tonsils was the anatomical factor in common in the most successful stages (I, II, and V), regardless of body mass index. Although the modified Mallampati index classes 3 and 4 reduced the success rate of surgery in patients with hypertrophic tonsils (stage II), the presence of modified Mallampati index classes 1 and 2 did not favor surgical success in patients with normal tonsils (stage III). .
Introdução: O sucesso da cirurgia faríngea no tratamento da síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono (SAOS) depende da adequada seleção de pacientes. Objetivo: Propor um novo estadiamento para indicação de cirurgia faríngea na SAOS. Método: Estudo retrospectivo, onde foram inclusos, 54 pacientes submetidos a amigdalectomia ampliada, divididos em 6 estádios. Estádio I: pacientes com tonsilas palatinas graus 3/4 e índice de Mallampati modificado (IMM) 1/2; Estádio II: tonsilas palatinas 3/4 e IMM 3/4; Estádio III: tonsilas palatinas 1/2 e IMM 1/2; Estádio IV: tonsilas palatinas 1/2 e IMM 3/4; Estádio V: IMC (índice de massa corpórea) ≥ com tonsilas palatinas 3/4 e IMM 1, 2, 3 ou 4. Estádio VI: IMC ≥ kg/m2 com tonsilas palatinas 1 ou 2 e IMM 1, 2, 3, ou 4. Resultados: As taxas de sucesso cirúrgico foram de 88,9%; 75,0%; 35,7%; 38,5% e 100,0% nos estádios I a V. Conclusão: A presença de tonsilas palatinas hipertróficas foi o fator anatômico em comum nos estádios de maior sucesso (I, II e V), independente do IMC. Apesar do IMM classe III e IV diminuir a taxa de sucesso da cirurgia em pacientes com tonsilas hipertróficas (estádio II), a presença de IMM classe I e II não favoreceu o sucesso cirúrgico em pacientes com tonsilas normotróficas (estádio III). .

Symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing, especially obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), are common in asthma patients and have been associated with asthma severity. It is known that asthma symptoms tend to be more severe at night and that asthma-related deaths are most likely to occur during the night or early morning. Nocturnal symptoms occur in 60-74% of asthma patients and are markers of inadequate control of the disease. Various pathophysiological mechanisms are related to the worsening of asthma symptoms, OSAS being one of the most important factors. In patients with asthma, OSAS should be investigated whenever there is inadequate control of symptoms of nocturnal asthma despite the treatment recommended by guidelines having been administered. There is evidence in the literature that the use of continuous positive airway pressure contributes to asthma control in asthma patients with obstructive sleep apnea and uncontrolled asthma.
Tem-se observado que sintomas dos distúrbios respiratórios do sono, especialmente a síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono (SAOS), são comuns em asmáticos; além disso, associam-se com a gravidade da asma. Sabe-se que durante a noite tende a haver maior gravidade dos sintomas da asma, assim como uma maior proporção de mortalidade durante a noite e as primeiras horas da manhã. Sintomas noturnos ocorrem entre 60-74% dos pacientes com asma e são marcadores de controle inadequado da doença. Vários mecanismos fisiopatológicos são relacionados a esse agravamento. A SAOS está incluída entre os fatores mais importantes. A investigação da SAOS em pacientes com asma deve ser realizada sempre que não houver um controle adequado dos sintomas noturnos da asma com o tratamento recomendado por diretrizes. Há evidências da literatura que sugerem que o uso de pressão positiva contínua nas vias aéreas pode contribuir para o controle da asma, quando o paciente asmático tem apneia obstrutiva do sono e sua asma não está controlada.

A apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) é caracterizada pelo colabamento parcial ou completo, repetido das vias aéreas superiores durante o período de sono que leva a uma fragmentação do sono, hipoxemia, hipercapnia, oscilações da pressão intratorácica e aumento da atividade simpática. No adulto, a obesidade é o principal fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de AOS e o fator de risco reversível mais importante da AOS. A exata fisiopatologia da AOS em pacientes obesos permanece pouco compreendida. Essa estreita relação entre AOS e obesidade é constatada nos números, onde aproximadamente 40%-45% dos obesos têm AOS e 70% dos pacientes com AOS são obesos. Entre 71-91% dos obesos mórbidos (IMC ≥ 40 kg/m²) possuem AOS. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a frequência e classificar a gravidade da AOS em pacientes obesos em programação de cirurgia bariátrica. Além de avaliar a chance de AOS apontada pelo Questionário de Berlin (QB), a sonolência diurna excessiva através da Escala de Sonolência de Epworth (ESE) e se um ou ambos os questionários seriam instrumentos de screening nesta população. Foram incluídos pacientes do ambulatório de cirurgia bariátrica do serviço de gastrocirurgia com idade superior a 18 anos. Foram excluídos do estudo: usuários de medicamentos sedativos, portadores de doença pulmonar dependente de oxigênio ou descompensada e/ou insuficiência cardíaca congestiva descompensada, presença de sinais e/ou sintomas de outros distúrbios do sono (narcolepsia, síndrome das pernas inquietas, insônia), portadores de deformidades craniofaciais, diagnóstico e/ou tratamento de AOS previamente. Esse mesmo grupo foi submetido à anamnese e exame físico específico e respondeu ao QB e a ESE. Do grupo citado, 35 pacientes foram submetidos à poligrafia noturna para pesquisa de AOS. O aparelho utilizado foi o Stardust II (Respironics, Inc.,USA)...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive partial or complete upper airway collapse during sleep leading to sleep fragmentation, hypoxemia, hypercapnia, intrathoracic pressure oscillations and increased sympathetic activity. Obesity is the main risk factor for the development of OSA in adults as well as its most important reversible risk factor. The exact pathophysiology of OSA in obese patients remains poorly understood. Such narrow relationship between OSA and obesity can be observed in numbers, so nearly 40-45% of obese patients have OSA whereas 70% of patients with OSA are obese. Between 71-91% of the morbidly obese (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) present OSA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency and classify the severity of OSA in obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery, also evaluating the risk for OSA pointed out by Berlin Questionnaire (BQ), excessive daytime sleepiness that was measured by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and if one or both questionnaires would be tools for screening in such population. Patients (over 18 yrs) from the Outpatient Bariatric Surgery at Gastro-surgery Department were included. On the other hand, users of sedative medication, patients with oxygen-dependent lung disease or decompensated and/or congestive decompensated heart failure, presence of signs and/or other sleep disorders (narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, insomnia), craniofacial deformities, diagnosis and/or previous OSA treatment were excluded. This group was submitted to anamnesis and specific physical examination and answered BQ and ESS. From such group, 35 patients were submitted to portable monitoring for OSA research and Stardust II (Respironics, Inc., USA) was used. The demographic data were described in their average and standard deviation as well as absolute number or percentage and compared for gender...

Introducción: El síndrome de apneas-hipopneas del sueño (SAHS) es una enfermedad frecuente y asociada a morbimortalidad en estadios graves. Se postula que el SAHS puede tener una expresión proteíca diferencial respecto a un grupo de pacientes sin SAHS. Se diseña un trabajo para determinar si un estudio proteómico es capaz de identificar proteínas sobreexpresadas en enfermos con SAHS leve. Métodos: A los sujetos se les realizó una historia clínica, exploración física, bioquímica general, polisomnografía diagnóstica y estudio proteómico mediante iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification). Se incluyeron 11 pacientes con SAHS, índice de apneas-hipopneas (IAH) ≥ 5, cuyos resultados fueron comparados con un grupo sin SAHS (IAH < 5). Fueron excluidos aquellos con SapO2 ≤ 93% y enfermedad grave de órgano. Resultados: los pacientes presentaron un índice de apneashipopneas de 12 ± 3 y una edad media de 44 ± 7 años. En el SAHS se observaron 3 proteínas sobreexpresadas (ratio > 1.3) respecto al grupo control. Estas proteínas fueron la PRO0684 (gi-6855601), la immunoglobulina lambda de cadena corta VLJ (gi-21669561) y el kininogeno HMW precursor (gi-68785). Las principales funciones y procesos biológicos en los que están involucrados son la inflamación, respuesta inmune y coagulación. Conclusiones: Respecto a un grupo control, en los pacientes con SAHS se observan proteínas sobreexpresadas. Estas proteínas pueden ser de ayuda para el diagnóstico o para aumentar el conocimiento en procesos fisiopatológicos subyacentes. No obstante, son datos preliminares, cuyo alcance debe establecerse en estudios posteriores (AU)
Introduction: The apnea-hypopnea sleep syndrome (AHSS) is a frequent illness, associated to morbidity and mortality in its most serious stages. It has been postulated that AHSS may have a differential protein expression with regards to a group of patients without AHSS. A study has been designed to determine whether or not a proteomic study is able to identify the overly expressed proteins in patients with minor AHSS. Method: Full clinical background was noted for the subjects, as well as physical examination, general biochemical tests, diagnostic polysomnography and proteomic study using iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification). Included in the study were 11 patients with AHSS, an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5, whose results were compared to a control group without AHSS (AHI < 5). Those with SapO2 ≤ 93% and serious organ disease were excluded. Results: the patients presented an apnea-hypoapnea index of 12 ± 3 and an average age of 44 ± 7 years. In AHSS, 3 overly expressed proteins were observed (ratio > 1.3) with regards to the control group. These proteins were PRO0684 (gi-6855601), short immunoglobulin lambda chain VLJ (gi-21669561) and the kininogen HMW precursor (gi-68785). The main functions and biological processes include inflammation, immune response and coagulation. Conclusions: With regards to the control group, patients with AHSS showed overly expressed proteins. These proteins may be helpful in the diagnosis or in increasing knowledge about underlying physical-pathological processes. Nevertheless, this data is preliminary, with scope of which must establish future studies (AU)

The Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome is a chronic disease characterized by episodes upper airway collapse, and has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity. AIM: To correlate the neck, abdominal and pelvic circumference with the AHI and oxyhemoglobin saturation in OSA patients, and to correlate these values with disease severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective descriptive study of 82 patients evaluated complaints suggesting OSA, from July 2008 to March 2010. All patients underwent polysomnography, an ENT clinical exam, measures of the BMI, abdominal, pelvic, and cervical circumferences. The mean, standard deviations and Spearman's correlations were analyzed. RESULTS: The mean AHI in men was 39 events/hr; in women it was 21 events/hr in women. The mean neck circumference was 34. 5 cm in women and 41. 3 cm in men, the mean abdominal circumference was 94. 3 cm in women and 101. 5 cm in men, and the pelvic circumference was 105. 7 cm in men and 108. 7 cm in women. The neck circumference correlated more closely to the AHI in men (r=+0. 389 p=0. 001). The relationship between the abdominal circumference correlated more with AHI than with the BMI in men (AbC r=+0. 358 p=0. 003 BMI r=+0. 321 p=0. 009). CONCLUSIONS: The neck circumference is the best anthropometric measurement of respiratory disorder severity compared to the AbC or the BMI.
Síndrome da Apneia Obstrutiva do Sono é uma doença crônica caracterizada por episódios de colapso da via aérea superior e está relacionada com aumento da morbidade cardiovascular. OBJETIVOS: Correlacionar a circunferência cervical, abdominal e pélvica com o índice de apneia e hipopneia e a saturação da oxi-hemoglobina de pacientes com Apneia Obstrutiva do Sono. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo prospectivo com 82 pacientes com queixas sugestivas de SAOS avaliados de julho de 2008 a março de 2010. Os pacientes foram submetidos à polissonografia, medidas do IMC e medidas antropométricas. Realizado avaliação da relação entre as variáveis. RESULTADOS: IAH médio entre os homens foi de 39 eventos/hora e 21 nas mulheres. A medida da circunferência cervical média foi 34,5cm para mulheres e 41,3cm para os homens, a abdominal média foi 94,3cm nas mulheres e 101,5cm nos homens e a pélvica foi 105,7cm nos homens e 108,7cm nas mulheres. Circunferência cervical apresentou a maior correlação com o IAH entre homens (r=0,389 p=0,001). A circunferência abdominal tem uma relação mais próxima com o IAH do que o IMC nos homens (CAb r=0,358 p=0,003, IMC r=0,321 p=0,009). CONCLUSÃO: Circunferência cervical é o melhor preditor antropométrico avaliado da gravidade dos distúrbios respiratórios.

ASAHOS é uma doença importante no cenário médico atual pela sua correlação com doenças cardiovasculares crônicas e suas consequências socioeconômicas. OBJETIVOS: Determinar a correlação entre a classificação de Friedman com a gravidade da doença pelo Índice de Apneia e Hipopneia em pacientes com SAHOS, para a avaliação e indicação cirúrgica. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal. Foram avaliados e classificados 143 pacientes, na escala de Epworth, Friedman e quanto à gravidade da SAHOS pelo IAH. RESULTADOS: 112 pacientes se submeteram ao estudo de polissonografia no laboratório de sono. Uma crostabulação foi feita entre a Classificação de Friedman e o IAH. As variáveis se relacionam com p<0,05. Encontramos uma relação em que os pacientes com SAHOS leve tendem a ter uma menor classificação de Friedman (melhores resultados cirúrgicos). Da mesma forma os pacientes classificados como SAHOS moderada a grave possuem maior prevalência da classificação de Friedman III e IV (menor sucesso com uvulopalatofaringoplastia). p<0.05. CONCLUSÃO: Concluímos que a classificação de Friedman se correlaciona com a gravidade da SAHOS. Quanto maior a classificação de Friedman, maior tende a ser a gravidade da apneia nesse estudo.
OSAHS is an important disease in current medical settings because of its association with chronic cardiovascular diseases and socioeconomic impacts. AIMS: to establish the correlation between the Friedman Classification and the OSAHS severity through the Apnea-Hypopnea Index) in patients with OSAHS for assessment and surgery purposes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study. We evaluated and classified 143 patients, using the Epworth's and Friedman's scale and OSAHS severity according to the AHI. RESULTS: 112 patients were submitted to polysomnography. We compared the Friedman Score and the IAH. The variables were associated with p<0.05. We found that patients with light OSAHS, tended to have a lower Friedman classification (better surgical result). By the same token, patients with moderate to severe OSAHS had a greater prevalence of Friedman's score of III and IV; p< 0.05 (lower success rates from uvulopalatopharyngoplasty). CONCLUSION: We conclude that the Friedman's classification correlates with OSAHS severity - the higher the Friedman's score, the more severe is the OSAHS.
