This book is a comprehensive guide to the epidemiology and social issues of sleep apnea and sleep related disturbances, as well as a wide range of treatment options, including weight loss and positional therapy, CPAP therapy, oral devices, implantable therapy, and telemedicine. The book also explores the relationship between sleep apnea and other health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. While focusing on global perspectives, the book includes a chapter devoted explicitly to treatment options in Japan and insights into the latest research from around the world.
Sleep Disordered Breathing - Treatment Options in Japan and World is published under the Book Series Respiratory Disease Series: Diagnostic Tools and Disease Management, focusing on practical solutions and cutting-edge research. This book is an essential resource for healthcare providers, researchers, and anyone interested in the study of sleep disorders. The breadth of coverage makes the booka valuable source for healthcare providers, researchers, and anyone interested in studying sleep disorders.
