Abstract
Mild intermittent hypoxia initiates progressive augmentation (PA) and ventilatory long-term facilitation (vLTF) in humans. The magnitude of these forms of plasticity might be influenced by anthropometric and physiological variables, as well as protocol elements. However, the impact of many of these variables on the magnitude of respiratory plasticity has not been established in humans. A meta-analysis was completed using anthropometric and physiological variables obtained from 124 participants that completed one of three intermittent hypoxia protocols. Simple correlations between the aggregate variables and the magnitude of PA and vLTF standardized to baseline was completed. Thereafter, the variables correlated to PA or vLTF were input into a multilinear regression equation. Baseline measures of the hypoxic ventilatory response was the sole predictor of PA (R = 0.370, P = 0.012). Similarly, this variable along with the hypoxic burden predicted the magnitude of vLTF (R = 0.546, P < 0.006 for both variables). In addition, the magnitude of PA was strongly correlated to vLTF (R = 0.617, P < 0.001). Anthropometric measures do not predict the magnitude of PA and vLTF in humans. Alternatively, the hypoxic ventilatory response was the sole predictor of PA, and in combination with the hypoxic burden, predicted the magnitude of vLTF. These influences should be considered in the design of mild intermittent hypoxia protocol studies in humans. Moreover, the strong correlation between PA and vLTF suggests that a common mechanistic pathway may have a role in the initiation of these forms of plasticity. KEY POINTS: Mild intermittent hypoxia initiates progressive augmentation (PA) and ventilatory long-term facilitation (vLTF) in humans. Many of the anthropometric and physiological variables that could impact the magnitude of these forms of plasticity are unknown. Anthropometric and physiological variables were measured from a total of 124 participants that completed one of three distinct intermittent hypoxia protocols. The variables correlated to PA or vLTF were input into a multilinear regression analysis. The hypoxic ventilatory response was the sole predictor of PA, while this variable in addition to the average hypoxic burden predicted the magnitude of vLTF. A strong correlation between PA and vLTF was also revealed. These influences should be considered in the design of mild intermittent hypoxia protocol studies in humans. Moreover, the strong correlation between PA and vLTF suggests that a common mechanistic pathway may have a role in the initiation of these forms of plasticity.

REM-OSA as a Tool to Understand Both the Architecture of Sleep and Pathogenesis of Sleep Apnea-Literature Review. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5907. [PMID: 37762848 PMCID: PMC10531579 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12185907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Sleep is a complex physiological state, which can be divided into the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) phase and the REM phase. Both have some unique features and functions. This difference is best visible in electroencephalography recordings, respiratory system activity, arousals, autonomic nervous system activity, or metabolism. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition characterized by recurrent episodes of pauses in breathing during sleep caused by blockage of the upper airways. This common condition has multifactorial ethiopathogenesis (e.g., anatomical predisposition, sex, obesity, and age). Within this heterogenous syndrome, some distinctive phenotypes sharing similar clinical features can be recognized, one of them being REM sleep predominant OSA (REM-OSA). The aim of this review was to describe the pathomechanism of REM-OSA phenotype, its specific clinical presentation, and its consequences. Available data suggest that in this group of patients, the severity of specific cardiovascular and metabolic complications is increased. Due to the impact of apneas and hypopneas predominance during REM sleep, patients are more prone to develop hypertension or glucose metabolism impairment. Additionally, due to the specific function of REM sleep, which is predominantly fragmented in the REM-OSA, this group presents with decreased neurocognitive performance, reflected in memory deterioration, and mood changes including depression. REM-OSA clinical diagnosis and treatment can alleviate these outcomes, surpassing the traditional treatment and focusing on a more personalized approach, such as using longer therapy of continuous positive airway pressure or oral appliance use.

Abstract
People with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) are likely to experience chronic intermittent hypoxia while sleeping. The physiological effects of intermittent hypoxia on the respiratory system during spontaneous sleep in individuals with chronic cervical SCI are unknown. We hypothesized that individuals with cervical SCI would demonstrate higher short- and long-term ventilatory responses to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) exposure than individuals with thoracic SCI during sleep. Twenty participants (10 with cervical SCI [9 male] and 10 with thoracic SCI [6 male]) underwent an AIH and sham protocol during sleep. During the AIH protocol, each participant experienced 15 episodes of isocapnic hypoxia using mixed gases of 100% nitrogen (N2 ) and 40% carbon dioxide (CO2 ) to achieve an oxygen saturation of less than 90%. This was followed by two breaths of 100% oxygen (O2 ). Measurements were collected before, during, and 40 min after the AIH protocol to obtain ventilatory data. During the sham protocol, participants breathed room air for the same amount of time that elapsed during the AIH protocol and at approximately the same time of night. Hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) during the AIH protocol was significantly higher in participants with cervical SCI than those with thoracic SCI. There was no significant difference in minute ventilation (V.E. ), tidal volume (V.T. ), or respiratory frequency (f) during the recovery period after AIH in cervical SCI compared to thoracic SCI groups. Individuals with cervical SCI demonstrated a significant short-term increase in HVR compared to thoracic SCI. However, there was no evidence of ventilatory long-term facilitation following AIH in either group.

Abstract
AbstractThe following review is designed to explore the pathophysiology of sleep apnea in aging women. The review initially introduces four endotypes (i.e., a more collapsible airway, upper airway muscle responsiveness, arousal threshold, and loop gain) that may have a role in the initiation of obstructive sleep apnea. Thereafter, sex differences in the prevalence of sleep apnea are considered along with differences in the prevalence that exist between younger and older women. Following this discussion, we consider how each endotype might contribute to the increase in prevalence of sleep apnea in aging women. Lastly, we address how modifications in one form of respiratory plasticity, long-term facilitation, that might serve to mitigate apneic events in younger women may be modified in aging women with obstructive sleep apnea. Overall, the published literature indicates that the prevalence of sleep apnea is increased in aging women. This increase is linked primarily to a more collapsible airway and possibly to reduced responsiveness of upper airway muscle activity. In contrast, modifications in loop gain or the arousal threshold do not appear to have a role in the increased prevalence of sleep apnea in aging women. Moreover, we suggest that mitigation of long-term facilitation could contribute to the increased prevalence of sleep apnea in aging women.

Abstract
This review explores forms of respiratory and autonomic plasticity, and associated outcome measures, that are initiated by exposure to intermittent hypoxia. The review focuses primarily on studies that have been completed in humans and primarily explores the impact of mild intermittent hypoxia on outcome measures. Studies that have explored two forms of respiratory plasticity, progressive augmentation of the hypoxic ventilatory response and long-term facilitation of ventilation and upper airway muscle activity, are initially reviewed. The role these forms of plasticity might have in sleep disordered breathing are also explored. Thereafter, the role of intermittent hypoxia in the initiation of autonomic plasticity is reviewed and the role this form of plasticity has in cardiovascular and hemodynamic responses during and following intermittent hypoxia is addressed. The role of these responses in individuals with sleep disordered breathing and spinal cord injury are subsequently addressed. Ultimately an integrated picture of the respiratory, autonomic and cardiovascular responses to intermittent hypoxia is presented. The goal of the integrated picture is to address the types of responses that one might expect in humans exposed to one-time and repeated daily exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia. This form of intermittent hypoxia is highlighted because of its potential therapeutic impact in promoting functional improvement and recovery in several physiological systems.

Abstract
Elderly adults demonstrate increased propensity for breathing instability during sleep compared with younger adults, and this may contribute to increased prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in this population. Hence, in older adults with SDB, we examined whether addition of supplemental oxygen (O2) will stabilize breathing during sleep and alleviate SDB. We hypothesized that exposure to supplemental O2 during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep will stabilize breathing and will alleviate SDB by reducing ventilatory chemoresponsiveness and by widening the carbon dioxide (CO2) reserve. We studied 10 older adults with mild-to-moderate SDB who were randomized to undergo noninvasive bilevel mechanical ventilation with exposure to room air or supplemental O2 (Oxy) to determine the CO2 reserve, apneic threshold (AT), and controller and plant gains. Supplemental O2 was introduced during sleep to achieve a steady-state O2 saturation ≥95% and fraction of inspired O2 at 40%-50%. The CO2 reserve increased significantly during Oxy versus room air (-4.2 ± 0.5 mmHg vs. -3.2 ± 0.5 mmHg, P = 0.03). Compared with room air, Oxy was associated with a significant decline in the controller gain (1.9 ± 0.4 L/min/mmHg vs. 2.5 ± 0.5 L/min/mmHg, P = 0.04), with reductions in the apnea-hypopnea index (11.8 ± 2.0/h vs. 24.4 ± 5.6/h, P = 0.006) and central apnea-hypopnea index (1.7 ± 0.6/h vs. 6.9 ± 3.9/h, P = 0.03). The AT and plant gain were unchanged. Thus, a reduced slope of CO2 response resulted in an increased CO2 reserve. In conclusion, supplemental O2 reduced SDB in older adults during NREM sleep via reduction in chemoresponsiveness and central respiratory events.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study demonstrates for the first time in elderly adults without heart disease that intervention with supplemental oxygen in the clinical range will ameliorate central apneas and hypopneas by decreasing the propensity to central apnea through decreased chemoreflex sensitivity, even in the absence of a reduction in the plant gain. Thus, the study provides physiological evidence for use of supplemental oxygen as therapy for mild-to-moderate SDB in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a highly prevalent chronic disease in older adults. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that SDB in older adults is linked to many adverse cardiovascular, neurocognitive, and metabolic sequelae. However, several unanswered questions remain regarding the diagnosis, consequences, and treatment of SDB in older adults. This review presents the current evidence pertaining to the management of SDB in older adults and identifies crucial gaps in knowledge that need further investigation.

Abstract
The reason for increased sleep-disordered breathing with predominance of central apneas in the elderly is unknown. We hypothesized that the propensity to central apneas is increased in older adults, manifested by a reduced carbon-dioxide (CO2) reserve in older compared with young adults during non-rapid eye movement sleep. Ten elderly and 15 young healthy adults underwent multiple brief trials of nasal noninvasive positive pressure ventilation during stable NREM sleep. Cessation of mechanical ventilation (MV) resulted in hypocapnic central apnea or hypopnea. The CO2 reserve was defined as the difference in end-tidal CO2 ([Formula: see text]) between eupnea and the apneic threshold, where the apneic threshold was [Formula: see text] that demarcated the central apnea closest to the eupneic [Formula: see text]. For each MV trial, the hypocapnic ventilatory response (controller gain) was measured as the change in minute ventilation (V̇e) during the MV trial for a corresponding change in [Formula: see text]. The eupneic [Formula: see text] was significantly lower in elderly vs. young adults. Compared with young adults, the elderly had a significantly reduced CO2 reserve (-2.6 ± 0.4 vs. -4.1 ± 0.4 mmHg, P = 0.01) and a higher controller gain (2.3 ± 0.2 vs. 1.4 ± 0.2 l·min-1·mmHg-1, P = 0.007), indicating increased chemoresponsiveness in the elderly. Thus elderly adults are more prone to hypocapnic central apneas owing to increased hypocapnic chemoresponsiveness during NREM sleep. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The study describes an original finding where healthy older adults compared with healthy young adults demonstrated increased breathing instability during non-rapid eye movement sleep, as suggested by a smaller carbon dioxide reserve and a higher controller gain. The findings may explain the increased propensity for central apneas in elderly adults during sleep and potentially guide the development of pathophysiology-defined personalized therapies for sleep apnea in the elderly.

Abstract
Control of ventilation occurs at different levels of the respiratory system through a negative feedback system that allows precise regulation of levels of arterial carbon dioxide and oxygen. Mechanisms for ventilatory instability leading to sleep-disordered breathing include changes in the genesis of respiratory rhythm and chemoresponsiveness to hypoxia and hypercapnia, cerebrovascular reactivity, abnormal chest wall and airway reflexes, and sleep state oscillations. One can potentially stabilize breathing during sleep and treat sleep-disordered breathing by identifying one or more of these pathophysiological mechanisms. This review describes the current concepts in ventilatory control that pertain to breathing instability during wakefulness and sleep, delineates potential avenues for alternative therapies to stabilize breathing during sleep, and proposes recommendations for future research.
