Sleep bruxism associated with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome – A pilot study using a new portable device
Publication date: Available online 24 August 2016 Source:Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia (English Edition) Author(s): M. Winck, M. Drummond, P. Viana, J.C. Pinho, J.C. Winck Sleep bruxism (SB) and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) share common pathophysiologic pathways. We aimed to study the presence and relationship of SB in a OSAS population. Patients referred with OSAS suspicion and concomitant SB complains were evaluated using a specific questionnaire, orofacial evaluation and cardio-respiratory polygraphy that could also monitor audio and EMG of the masseter muscles. From 11 patients studied 9 had OSAS...

Asthma and rhinitis have different genetic profiles for IL13, IL17A and GSTP1 polymorphisms
Conclusion These results support the existence of a significant association between GSTP1 rs1695 and IL13 rs20541 SNPs, with susceptibility to asthma, in the population studied. Different genotype profiles of IL17A and IL13 genes seem to influence the clinical pattern of disease expression mainly confined to the upper airways, as rhinitis, or including the lower airways, as asthma.
