Abstract Introduction Theta power in electroencephalography has been studied as a correlate to REM sleep. An increase in theta power during REM sleep has been observed in patients during recovery sleep after sleep deprivation. Emotional memories appear to be processed and consolidated during REM sleep.The role of hippocampal theta wave activity during REM sleep on emotional memory processing is limited. The importance of theta power has not been well characterized in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with predominant respiratory Effort Related Arousals (RERAs). This report aims to study the theta power in patients with OSA with predominant Respiratory Effort Related Arousals (RERAs) with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of < 5. Methods We have identified 38 patients with baseline polysomnograms performed from December 2019 to July 2019 with AHI < 5 and a Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) of at least 5 or greater. Patients with chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure, hypoventilation and predominant central sleep apnea were excluded from the study. Total power of frequency in bands was obtained for theta waves (4-8 Hz) and total waves (1-30 Hz). Relative theta power was calculated on the last REM sleep using C3-M2 and C4-M1 derivations. Paired two-tailed t-Test was performed on the theta power in C3-M2 and C4-M1 in both the sexes. Results Initial analysis was performed in 38 patients out of which 20 were male and 18 female. Among males, (Mean ± SEM) age was 52.3 (±2.9); Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) of 6.6 (±1.1), AHI of 2.1 (±0.3), and RDI of 7.3 (±0.3).Whereas in female (Mean ± SEM) age was 46.8 (± 2.8), ESS of 7.7 (±1.4), AHI of 2.3 (±0.35), and RDI of 6.9 (±0.4). Statistically significant difference was noted in the theta power between the C3-M2 and C4-M1 derivations with P value of 0.03 and 0.04 in male and female respectively. However, no significant difference was found when C3-M2 and C4 -M1 was compared between male and female. Further, statistical analysis will be performed after gathering data from a larger sample size. Conclusion There was significant difference between C3-M2 and C4-M1;overall no difference was found between sexes. Support none

Obstructive sleep apnea is defined as periodic cessation of airflow (duration ≥10 seconds) during sleep with complete obstruction of the upper airway and continued respiratory effort. Typically, the episode is terminated by a temporary arousal from sleep and return of normal upper airway patency. Hypopnea is defined as partial obstruction of the upper airway during sleep (duration ≥10 seconds), usually with a resultant desaturation of at least 4%. Hypopnea is also typically terminated by a temporary arousal. Such periodic episodes of apnea and hypopnea usually result in fragmented sleep and periodic desaturations.

Purpose The 2 most commonly used operations to treat velopharyngeal inadequacy (VPI) are superiorly based pharyngeal flap and sphincter pharyngoplasty, both of which may result in hyponasal speech and airway obstruction. The purpose of this article is to (a) describe the bilateral buccal flap revision palatoplasty (BBFRP) as an alternative technique to manage VPI while minimizing these risks and (b) conduct a systematic review of the evidence of BBFRP on speech and other clinical outcomes. A report comparing the speech of a child with hypernasality before and after BBFRP is presented. Method A review of databases was conducted for studies of buccal flaps to treat VPI. Using the principles of a systematic review, the articles were read, and data were abstracted for study characteristics that were developed a priori. With respect to the case report, speech and instrumental data from a child with repaired cleft lip and palate and hypernasal speech were collected and analyzed before and after surgery. Results Eight articles were included in the analysis. The results were positive, and the evidence is in favor of BBFRP in improving velopharyngeal function, while minimizing the risk of hyponasal speech and obstructive sleep apnea. Before surgery, the child's speech was characterized by moderate hypernasality, and after surgery, it was judged to be within normal limits. Conclusion Based on clinical experience and results from the systematic review, there is sufficient evidence that the buccal flap is effective in improving resonance and minimizing obstructive sleep apnea. We recommend BBFRP as another approach in selected patients to manage VPI. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.9919352
