oxygen desaturation indexobstructive sleep apneaStudy Objectives: Overnight pulse oximetry (OPO) is commonly used as a screening test for obstructive sleep apnea. Heart rate variability (HRV) correlates well with apnea-hypopnea index during polysomnography (PSG). We hypothesized that visual correlation ...
63% of desaturations occurred in the first 24 hours, 17% of desaturations occurred in 24-48 hours, and 20% occurred in 48-72 hours. The depth of desaturation was 50-54% in 50% of instances, 45-49% in 37% of instances, and 40-44% in 13% of instances. The duration of the ...
Effects of severity of OSA defined by apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) on glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR were analyzed. Glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR in OSA and matched control groups were not significantly different for normal-weight, overweight and obese subjects...
Multivariate analysis of mechanical parameters and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) revealed that velopharyngeal Pc was the only variable highly correlated with ODI. Velopharyngeal Pc was associated with oropharyngeal Pc, suggesting mechanical interdependence of these segments. We conclude that the passive ...

Although we do not have a definitive explanation for this observation, it is possible that the arterial branching pattern reflects the efficiency of retinal circulation and its attenuations (i.e. narrow branching angle) may reflect impaired perfusion, endothelial dysfunction and oxygen desaturation34,...
Peel color was measured using a Hunter Lab Mini Scan XE Plus colorimeter (Hunter Associates Laboratory, Inc., USA). The CIE L*a*b*color scale was adopted, and the data were expressed as L*, a*, b*, C*, H°, and the citrus color index (CCI) using the formula CCI = 1000...
Carotenoids in the damaged skin of discolored red peppers are more easily oxidized and degraded under the influence of heat, light, and oxygen, resulting in the thinning of the sample skin. Therefore, the redness (a*), yellowness (b*) and comprehensive color index (CCI) of sample skin ...
