If you have erectile dysfunction and you’re not sleeping well — or if you’ve never been tested for sleep apnea — this video explains why that matters more than you might think. We break down the three biological mechanisms that connect sleep to erection quality, what obstructive sleep apnea is...

In this SCCR Science Series session, Elaine Costa, MD, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head, and Neck Surgery (OHNS) provides an overview of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here she covers:

* Substantial evidence suggests that sleep disorders may impair testosterone levels, partially improved after specific treatments (for instance: positive airway pressure for OSA). On the other hand, appropriate indications for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can alleviate hypogonadism...

Think sleep apnea is just for "middle-aged men who snore?" Think again. Dr. Kimberly Sterling and Dr. Audrey Wells join us to reveal why 90% of women are living with undiagnosed sleep apnea and how "invisible" symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are masking a life-threatening breathing disorder.

Did you know that primary care clinicians are in the perfect position to identify and even manage obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?

* Our findings suggest that the presence of OSA risk factors may alter the effect of TRT on OSA incidence, where TRT is associated with lower incidence in people without risk factors and higher incidence in people with risk factors. INCIDENCE OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA IN PATIENTS TAKING...

Johns Hopkins otolaryngologist Kevin Motz discusses hypoglossal nerve stimulator surgery, a secondary treatment option for patients with sleep apnea who are intolerant of CPAP.

Johns Hopkins sleep surgeon and airway specialist Kevin Motz will discuss the newest medical and surgical options for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who struggle with using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine.

SURMOUNT-OSA Results: 'Impressive' in Improving Sleep Apnea Drs Akshay Jain and James Kim discuss the benefits of GLP-1 therapy for sleep apnea, as reported from the SURMOUNT-OSA trial. Key Insights from the Surmount OSA Study: Implications for Primary Care and Endocrinology Introduction Dr...

Objectives An association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and gonadal dysfunction is known. Specifically, while obesity is commonly associated with reduced testosterone secretion, some studies suggest OSA can independently affect testosterone. Moreover, although most studies show that...

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is an under-recognized medical disease. The main risk factors for OSAS are male sex, older age, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, which are also associated with male hypogonadism (MH). Therefore, obesity has been classically identified as the most evident...

Sleep, testosterone and cortisol balance, and aging men (2022) Peter Y. Liu, · Radha T. Reddy Abstract Sleep serves important biological functions and influences health and longevity through endocrine and metabolic-related systems. Sleep debt, circadian misalignment, and sleep disruption...

Prevalence and Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Men with Polycythemia on Testosterone Therapy (2022) CSalter, JMFFlores, ESchofield, MTan, JMulhall Introduction Polycythemia is independently associated with both testosterone therapy (TTH) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Objective...

I've never snored or had any signs of OSA. Since being on TRT I am now a significant snorer and have OSA (body weight and competition is the same). I went off TRT a while back for 3 weeks and snoring and OSA symptoms completely stopped. Now that I'm back on TRT snoring and OSA symptoms have...

After several sleep studies and failed CPAP attempts I recently found out the cause of my OSA. I had a septoplasty last week to correct a severely deviated septum on the right side of my nose. During the pre-surgery interview the ENT surgeon asked about Apnea and my treatment method. I told him...
