Abstract

BACKGROUND: Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea is needed to consolidate and summarize key factors important for clinical management of the OSA adult patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHOD(S): Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULT(S): The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA and treatment on the multiple comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION(S): This review of the literature in OSA consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence. This effort aims to highlight the basis of OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and opportunities for improvement include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Abstract

Rare earth ions-doped oxide glasses with improved traits are needed for sundry applications. Based on this fact, physiochemical and magnetic characteristics of Er3+ -doped lead–tellurite glasses embedded with gold nanoshapes (Au-NSPs) were customized via preparation and characterization. Glasses of composition 78.95TeO2–15PbO–5PbCl2–1Er2O3–0.05AuCl3 were made using conventional melt-quenching techniques at varying (1, 6, 16, and 24 h) heat treatment durations (HTDs) to optimize their morphology, structure, chemical, and magnetic properties. Structure analysis verified the amorphous nature of the as-quenched samples and the homogeneous distribution of Au-NSPs within a network matrix with an average diameter ranged from 1.32 to 7.12 nm. Significant chemical functional groups of the glasses were detected at 360 and 598 cm‒1, attributed to the number of non-bridging oxygen (NBO) in glass and the conversion of TeO4 tbp into TeO3 polyhedra through TeO3+1. The magnetic behavior of the glasses was due to the diffusion-limited growth of Au-NSPs as evidenced from the ESR and VSM results. Saturation magnetization and magnetic coercivity were in the range of 4.61 × 10–2 to 10.614 × 102 emu/g) and 1441.60 to 1992.20 Oe, respectively. The variations of g-factor, resonant magnetic field, and peak-to-peak line-width of the glasses were established to be promising for various functional applications especially for biomedical devices as antiviral screen protectors.

Abstract

Layer-by-layer (LbL) coating system developed capable to monitor the LbL coating process on optical fiber for sensor application in real-time basis. The objective was to determine the optimum number of bilayer coatings for best sensing performance. Multiple layers of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were coated on the surface of optical fiber core to create pH sensitive coating. The real-time monitoring of absorbance spectrum during coating process from 0 to 50 bilayers of PAH/PAA were done. The existence of the coating on the fiber were verified using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The monitoring results show that 30 bilayers of PAH/PAA coating has high absorbance of 0.87 OD. at 800 nm. The pH sensing performance of the fiber without PAH/PAA coating was compared with the 30 bilayers of PAH/PAA coated fiber. The best performance was obtained with 30 bilayers of PAH/PAA coated fiber with the sensitivity of 0.453 OD/pH and resolution of 0.0022 pH units. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
