Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the success of our first Special Issue, entitled “Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): What Can We Do Now?” (https://www.mdpi.com/si/jcm/8A543T08PX), we are launching a new Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Strategy for Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS)”, continuing to report on clinical research.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder characterized by the collapse of the pharynx during sleep, as well as recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. Partial arousals frequently occur throughout sleep, resulting in relative sleep deprivation and daytime fatigue. If left untreated, OSAS can have significant adverse effects on an individual's health and quality of life. Therefore, it has been increasingly recognized as a major health issue.
For this Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Strategy for Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS)”, we continue to welcome contributions on the topic of OSAS. We invite original research papers based on original data, as well as review articles. All manuscripts will be subjected to a standard peer review process, in line with the journal’s procedures and policies.
Dr. Pierluigi Carratù
Guest Editor
