Brazilian Thoracic Association Consensus on Sleep-disordered Breathing
Duarte,Ricardo Luiz de Menezes; Togeiro,Sonia Maria Guimarães Pereira; Palombini,Luciana de Oliveira; Rizzatti,Fabíola Paula GalhardoABSTRACT Sleep is essential for the proper functioning of all individuals. Sleep-disordered breathing can occur at any age and is a common reason for medical visits. The objective of this consensus is to update knowledge about the main causes of sleep-disordered breathing in adult and pediatric populations, with an emphasis on obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is an extremely prevalent but often ...
2022 Brazilian Thoracic Association recommendations for long-term home oxygen t...
Castellano,Maria Vera Cruz de Oliveira; Pereira,Luiz Fernando Ferreira; Feitosa,Paulo Henrique Ramos; Knorst,Marli Maria; Salim,CarolinaABSTRACT Some chronic respiratory diseases can cause hypoxemia and, in such cases, long-term home oxygen therapy (LTOT) is indicated as a treatment option primarily to improve patient quality of life and life expectancy. Home oxygen has been used for more than 70 years, and support for LTOT is based on two studies from the 1980s that demonstrated that oxygen use improves survival in patients with COPD. There is...
Using the No-Apnea score to screen for obstructive sleep apnea in adults referr...
Duarte,Ricardo Luiz de Menezes; Silveira,Flavio José Magalhães da; Sá,Tiago Soares de Oliveira e; Rabahi,Marcelo FouadABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the performance of the No-Apnea score, a simplified screening instrument for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), by gender. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including adults undergoing full polysomnography. The No-Apnea model comprises two items (neck circumference and age) with a total score of 0 to 9. The severity of OSA was categorized, on the basis of the apnea-hypopnea i...

Duarte,Ricardo Luiz de Menezes; Fonseca,Lorena Barbosa de Moraes; Magalhães-da-Silveira,Flavio José; Silveira,Erika Aparecida da; Rabahi,Marcelo FouadABSTRACT Objective: To validate the Portuguese-language version of the STOP-Bang (acronym for Snoring, Tiredness, Observed apnea, high blood Pressure, Body mass index, Age, Neck circumference, and Gender) questionnaire, culturally adapted for use in Brazil, as a means of screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults. Methods: In this validation study, we enrolled patients ≥ 18 years of age, recruited be...
Factors predictive of obstructive sleep apnea in patients undergoing pre-operat...
Duarte,Ricardo Luiz de Menezes; Magalhães-da-Silveira,Flavio JoséObjective: To identify the main predictive factors for obtaining a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients awaiting bariatric surgery. Methods: Retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing pre-operative evaluation for bariatric surgery and referred for in-laboratory polysomnography. Eight variables were evaluated: sex, age, neck circumference (NC), BMI, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) sc...
Ronco: critérios diagnósticos e tratamento
Silveira,Flávio José Magalhães da; Duarte,Ricardo Luiz de MenezesO ronco é um problema importante com consequentes manifestações sociais e médicas. O passo inicial consiste em confirmar a presença do ronco e excluir qualquer doença respiratória noturna para que o tratamento adequado seja instituído. Este capítulo analisa o gerenciamento atual do ronco e seu tratamento.
Consequências do ronco não-tratado
Silveira,Flávio José Magalhães da; Duarte,Ricardo Luiz de MenezesEm alguns estudos, o ronco tem sido associado com um risco aumentado de hipertensão, doença cardíaca isquêmica e acidente vascular encefálico. Os mecanismos são desconhecidos, mas provavelmente mediados pela apneia obstrutiva do sono. Contudo, a maioria dos roncadores não tem apneia do sono. Se o ronco, por si só, aumenta o risco de doença cardiovascular, isso ainda permanece controverso.
Marcadores moleculares no câncer de pulmão: papel prognóstico e sua relação com...
Duarte,Ricardo Luiz de Menezes; Paschoal,Marcos Eduardo MachadoEstudos epidemiológicos têm demonstrado um nexo causal entre tabagismo e carcinoma de pulmão. Embora a maioria dos cânceres de pulmão esteja associada com tabagismo, somente uma minoria de grandes tabagistas desenvolve essa malignidade, o que leva ao conceito de que fatores genéticos afetam a susceptibilidade individual. As principais alterações moleculares no câncer de pulmão são: genes de supressão tumoral, p...
