There are few studies that have evaluated personality characteristics in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). We aimed to evaluate 2 groups, OSAS patients and controls, using a temperament and character inventory (TCI) questionnaire. Materials and methods: Patients with OSAS symptoms and who underwent polysomnography in the sleep laboratory were included in the study. A TCI questionnaire was given to 52 patients. Those whose apnea-hypoapnea index (AHI) was >=10 were included as the OSAS group and those whose score was

The myocardial performance index (Tei index), plasma N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) were used to investigate the effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on right ventricular function. Materials and methods: Twenty-three patients diagnosed with OSAS (moderate or severe AHI > 15) by polysomnography at Karadeniz Technical University Medical Faculty Chest Disease Clinic between September 2009 and September 2010 were included. The Tei index, Nt-proBNP, and IMA were measured in all patients before CPAP treatment and 3 months after the diagnosis. Results: Patients with OSAS had statistically significantly higher right ventricular Tei indices than the control …
