CPAP improves sleep stability and attenuates acute nocturnal hypertension (NBPF) in OSA, with maximal benefits in severe cases by Liangcai Yu, Lan Shu, Simin Gao, Lin Li

“…NBPF was defined as the number of events per hour where nocturnal systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased by &gt;12 mmHg.Results(1) Baseline characteristics: N1%, N2%, SBP, DBP, and NBPF significantly increased, while R% and N3% significantly decreased with increasing severity of OSA (p &lt; 0.05). (2) Overall efficacy: After CPAP treatment, N1% significantly decreased, N3% significantly increased, and DBP and NBPF significantly decreased (p &lt; 0.05). (3) Subgroup analysis: All patients experienced significant reductions in MAI, N1%, N2%, and NBPF, and significant increases in R% after CPAP treatment (p &lt; 0.05); N3% significantly increased in moderate and severe patients (p &lt; 0.05); SBP and DBP improvements were most significant in severe patients (p &lt; 0.05). (4) Correlation and linear regression analysis: NBPF was significantly correlated with sleep structure parameters, showing an independent positive correlation with MAI (β = 0.375, p &lt; 0.001) and an independent negative correlation with N3% (β = −0.143, p = 0.001).ConclusionThe first night of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy significantly improves sleep architecture and effectively reduces nocturnal blood pressure while suppressing acute systolic blood pressure (NBPF) elevations in OSA patients, especially those with severe disease.…”

Correlations of Strength and Elastic Modulus of Cohesive Soil with SPT in Bakrajo Region-Kurdistan of Iraq by Kamal Ahmad Rashed

“…Reasonably estimating the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and elastic modulus (E) of cohesive soil is crucial in the routine design of structures built on such soils. However, there is no reasonable relationship that could be utilized to estimate (UCS) and (E) of cohesive soils in the Kurdistan region of Iraq using the field test of Standard Penetration Test (SPT). …”

Cubic Idempotence Preserver Problem in Hermitian Matrix Space by ZHANG Haoran, XU Jinli

“…Preserver problems are the study of preserving maps of certain invariants on a given mathematical structure. In order to preserve the cubic idempotent of Hermitian matrix space, we study the image from the basis of 2 × 2-dimensional Hermitian matrix space to m × m-dimensional Hermitian matrix space, and give the representation of the real linear mapping from low-dimensional to high-dimensional Hermitian matrix space.…”
