apnea and Acromegaly

apnea has been researched along with Acromegaly in 4 studies

Apnea: A transient absence of spontaneous respiration.

Acromegaly: A condition caused by prolonged exposure to excessive HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE in adults. It is characterized by bony enlargement of the FACE; lower jaw (PROGNATHISM); hands; FEET; HEAD; and THORAX. The most common etiology is a GROWTH HORMONE-SECRETING PITUITARY ADENOMA. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch36, pp79-80)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In patients with acromegaly and difficult intubation, the insulin-like growth factor 1 levels and apnea/hypoxia index were significantly higher compared to patients without difficult intubation (1115."3.85High levels of IGF-1 predict difficult intubation of patients with acromegaly. ( Guo, X; Pei, L; Tan, G; Xing, B; Zhang, Y; Zhang, Z, 2017)
" Pegvisomant reduced the apnoea-hypopnea index and cured obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in four of the eight patients concerned."3.81Long-term effects of pegvisomant on comorbidities in patients with acromegaly: a retrospective single-center study. ( Assayag, P; Bouchachi, A; Brailly-Tabard, S; Chanson, P; Kamenicky, P; Kuhn, E; Maione, L; Rozière, M; Salenave, S; Young, J, 2015)
