Variations in loop gain and arousal threshold during NREM sleep are affected by time of day over a 24-hour period in participants with obstructive sleep apnea
Puri S, El-Chami M, Shaheen D, Ivers B, Panza G, Badr M, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2020 Aug; 129(4):800-809. PMID: 32790595
We investigated whether time of day affects loop gain (LG) and the arousal threshold (AT) during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Eleven men with obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index >...
2.
The impact of intermittent or sustained carbon dioxide on intermittent hypoxia initiated respiratory plasticity. What is the effect of these combined stimuli on apnea severity?
Mateika J, Panza G, Alex R, El-Chami M
Respir Physiol Neurobiol . 2017 Nov; 256:58-66. PMID: 29097171
The following review explores the effect that intermittent or sustained hypercapnia coupled to intermittent hypoxia has on respiratory plasticity. The review explores published work which suggests that intermittent hypercapnia leads...

Exposure to intermittent hypoxia and sustained hypercapnia reduces therapeutic CPAP in participants with obstructive sleep apnea
El-Chami M, Sudan S, Lin H, Mateika J
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2017 Jul; 123(4):993-1002. PMID: 28684586
Our purpose was to determine whether exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia leads to a reduction in the therapeutic continuous positive airway pressure required to eliminate breathing events. Ten male participants...
4.
Impact of arousal threshold and respiratory effort on the duration of breathing events across sleep stage and time of night
Wains S, El-Chami M, Lin H, Mateika J
Respir Physiol Neurobiol . 2017 Jan; 237:35-41. PMID: 28040523
Purpose: The frequency and duration of breathing events are influenced by sleep stage and time of day. In the present study we examined if these modifications are linked to adaptations...

Time of day affects the frequency and duration of breathing events and the critical closing pressure during NREM sleep in participants with sleep apnea
El-Chami M, Shaheen D, Ivers B, Syed Z, Badr M, Lin H, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2015 Jul; 119(6):617-26. PMID: 26183479
We investigated if the number and duration of breathing events coupled to upper airway collapsibility were affected by the time of day. Male participants with obstructive sleep apnea completed a...

Intermittent hypoxia: a low-risk research tool with therapeutic value in humans
Mateika J, El-Chami M, Shaheen D, Ivers B
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2015 Jan; 118(5):520-32. PMID: 25549763
Intermittent hypoxia has generally been perceived as a high-risk stimulus, particularly in the field of sleep medicine, because it is thought to initiate detrimental cardiovascular, respiratory, cognitive, and metabolic outcomes....

Time of day affects chemoreflex sensitivity and the carbon dioxide reserve during NREM sleep in participants with sleep apnea
El-Chami M, Shaheen D, Ivers B, Syed Z, Badr M, Lin H, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2014 Sep; 117(10):1149-56. PMID: 25213638
Our investigation was designed to determine whether the time of day affects the carbon dioxide reserve and chemoreflex sensitivity during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Ten healthy men with obstructive...
