Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction resulting in oxygen desaturations and sleep disruption. OSAS is associated with an augmented risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the association between OSAS and cardiovascular dysfunction. Low-grade systemic inflammation may contribute to the development of the cardiovascular and metabolic diseases associated with OSAS. The purpose of this review is to summarize current evidence on the association between OSAS and markers of systemic inflammation.
Keywords: Inflammation, inflammatory markers, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) From Childhood to Adulthood: From The Past To The Future
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the three leading causes of death worldwide, with a major prevalence in low- and middle-income countries, resulting in a high social and economic cost. It is a heterogeneous respiratory disease, treatable and preventable, that causes persistent and often progressive airway obstruction in ...read more
Next-Generation Respiratory Imaging: Diagnostics, Analytics, and Automation
Respiratory diseases such as COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), pneumonia, asthma, lung cancer, and post-COVID complications continue to be major global health burdens. Medical imaging modalities—such as CT, MRI, X-ray, PET, and Ultrasound—play a vital role in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning. However, manual interpretation of images is time-consuming and ...read more
