Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Applied Sciences is planning a Special Issue in 2022 to collect original manuscripts on recent findings in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) syndrome, its diagnostics and management. Obstructive sleep apnoea is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder. It is characterised by the repetitive collapse of the upper airways during sleep, resulting in chronic intermittent hypoxaemia and frequent arousals with sleep fragmentation. The etiology is multifactorial and its clinical manifestations are night snoring, headache when patient wakes up, day-time sleepiness and decrease of cognitive performance. There is an increasing number of OSA-related manuscipts, as this field is continuously emerging. Therefore, this Special Issue will summarize the latest, most interesting results of OSA-related studies, involving research in epidemiology, risk factors, screening, diagnostics and treatment of OSA. The Special Issue will be published in 2022, and we encourage you to submit your manuscripts by 10 February 2022. For all technical details, please see the Instructions for Authors on the journal’s website.
Thank you in advance. We look forward to receiving your manuscripts.
