1. Snoring increases the development of coronary artery disease: a systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies
    • Authors: Liu J, Shao Y, Bai J, et al.
    • Journal: Sleep Breath, 2021
    • Key Finding: Demonstrated significant correlation between snoring and increased risk of coronary artery disease development.
  2. Effects of age and gender on upper airway, lower airway and upper lip growth
    • Authors: Goncalves R, et al.
    • Journal: Braz Oral Res, 2011
    • Key Finding: Age and gender significantly influence airway development patterns and upper lip growth, with implications for breathing function.
  3. Sleep-induced breathing instability
    • Authors: Dempsey J, et al.
    • Journal: Sleep, 1996
    • Key Finding: Detailed mechanisms of breathing instability during sleep and its impact on sleep-disordered breathing.
  4. Sleep loss and REM sleep loss are hyperalgesic
    • Authors: Roehrs T, et al.
    • Journal: Sleep, 2006
    • Key Finding: Sleep deprivation and particularly REM sleep loss increase pain sensitivity, suggesting important links between sleep quality and pain management.
  5. Association between autonomic function and obstructive sleep apnea: A systematic review
    • Authors: Dissanayake H, et al.
    • Journal: Sleep Med Rev, 2021
    • Key Finding: OSA significantly impacts autonomic function, with implications for cardiovascular health and overall well-being.
  6. Mortality in severe sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome patients: impact of treatment
    • Authors: Marti S, et al.
    • Journal: Eur Respir J, 2002
    • Key Finding: Untreated severe sleep apnea associated with increased mortality, while proper treatment significantly improves survival rates.
  7. Effect of changes in the breathing mode and body position on tongue pressure
    • Authors: Takahashi S, et al.
    • Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop, 1999
    • Key Finding: Breathing mode and body position significantly affect tongue pressure patterns, with implications for oral-facial development.
  8. The human upper airway: more than a floppy tube
    • Authors: Eckert D, Gandevia S
    • Journal: J Appl Physiol, 2014
    • Key Finding: Complex neuromuscular control mechanisms regulate upper airway function during breathing and sleep.
