Metabolic syndrome
2015
OSA is a common disorder with major cardiovascular and metabolic consequences. OSA is often associated with metabolic syndrome, a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, and prevalence of metabolic syndrome is particularly high in OSA patients. The role of obesity as a risk factor for OSA has been shown in population and clinical studies, and increased adipose tissue volume and neck circumference are closely linked with OSA, even though major sex-related differences exist. Besides OSA treatment, cardiometabolic risk factors should be assessed and possibly corrected in all OSA patients in order to reduce adverse events. Occurrence of metabolic syndrome should be investigated, and modifiable…
Sleep-disordered breathing in the elderly
2009
Purpose: The prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) increases with aging. SDB is a risk of hypertension, and both might lead to cognitive decline. However, the role of SDB and hypertension on the pathogenesis of age-related cognitive decline remains unclear. We examined the effects of these two diseases on cognitive function in elderly adults.
Personalized medicine in sleep respiratory disorders; focus on OSA diagnosis and treatment.
2017
In all fields of medicine, major efforts are currently dedicated to improve the clinical, physiological and therapeutic understanding of disease, and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is no exception. The personalised medicine approach is relevant for OSA, given its complex pathophysiology and variable clinical presentation, the interactions with comorbid conditions and its possible contribution to poor outcomes. Treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is effective, but CPAP is poorly tolerated or not accepted in a considerable proportion of OSA patients. This review summarises the available studies on the physiological phenotypes of upper airway response to obstruction durin…
Relationship between mild to moderate renal dysfunction and obstructive sleep apnea: Data from the European sleep apnea database
2013
The relationship between severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and kidney function was investigated in the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA), where clinical, sleep, and biochemical data of patients studied for suspected OSA in 24 sleep centres of 17 European countries are stored. After excluding patients with missing data or extremely high/low creatinine values, data from 8112 subjects (2328 female) with creatinine values ranging between 0.5 and 2.0 mg% were analyzed. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was obtained with the Modified Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. Patients were subdivided into two groups: group 1 (n = 3709) studied by full polysomnography; group 2 (n…
Relationships between stomatognathic and oculomotor systems in the postural determinism
2009
Objectives To establish if oculomotor apparatus, stomatognathic apparatus and postural system are someway related. Materials and methods Ocular deficit, postural stabilization, head inclination and rotation, shoulder position and dental class were assessed by convergence test, cover test, postural and stomatognathic examination in a sample of 22 patients with ocular disease (convergence deficit, strabismus and heterophoria) aged from 10 to 18 years. Results In patients with convergence's deficit, body axis deviated to left (65%) and head inclination to right (65%), right shoulder was higher (68%) and I dental class was observed (49%); in patients with strabismus, body axis deviated to left …

"Chancen von Tschernobyl" : Ulrich Beckin riskikonsepti näkökulmana länsisaksalaiseen ydinvoimadebattiin 1986
2008
Työni käsittelee vuoden 1986 Tshernobylin ydinvoimalaonnettomuutta seurannutta, ydinvoiman hyväksyttävyyttä koskenutta keskustelua Länsi-Saksassa. Lähestymistapani mukaisesti hahmotan ydinvoimadebattia riski-ilmiön käsittelynä ja käsitteellistämisenä. Näkökulmani kiistan seuraamiseen on Ulrich Beckin Riskogesellschaft; Auf dem Weg in eine andere Moderne - teoksen näkökulma modernisaatioriskeistä poliittisiin ja taloudellisiin kerrannaisvaikutuksiin yltävinä, pitkälle tarkoittamattomina ilmiöinä. Aineiston tulkinnalla analysoin riskin poliittista arviointia ja käsitteellistämistä siitä lähtökohdasta, että uhkaava riski on merkitykseltään tyhjä ja vasta sen poliittinen ja kielellinen määrittä…
Avoimet kirjat osaksi korkeakoulujen julkaisukulttuuria : haasteita ja mahdollisuuksia
2019
Kirjastojen on aktiivisesti oltava mukana edistämässä humanistis-yhteiskuntatieteellisen tutkimuksen moninaisuutta tukevaa avointa tieteellistä monografiajulkaisemista. Avoimet julkaisut ja aineistot eivät enää voi olla kirjastoissa niihin erikoistuneiden asiantuntijoiden tehtävää vaan ovat valtavirtaa, siksi niiden tuntemus kuuluu jokaisen kirjastoasiantuntijan osaamiseen. nonPeerReviewed
