  2. Obstructive sleep apnea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_sleep_apnea

    For those with obstructive sleep apnea unable or unwilling to comply with first line treatment, the surgical intervention has to be adapted to an individual's specific anatomy and physiology, personal preference and disease severity. [114] Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with or without is the most common surgery for patients with obstructive sleep ...

  3. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_hypoventilation...

    [5] [15] In the 1960s, various further discoveries were made that led to the distinction between obstructive sleep apnea and sleep hypoventilation. [16] The term "Pickwickian syndrome" has fallen out of favor because it does not distinguish obesity hypoventilation syndrome and sleep apnea as separate disorders (which may coexist). [16] [17]

  4. Sleep apnea - Wikipedia

    Specialty: Otorhinolaryngology, sleep medicine: Symptoms: Pauses breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep, snoring, tired during the day [1] [2]: Complications: Heart attack, Cardiac arrest, stroke, diabetes, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, obesity, motor vehicle collisions, [1] Alzheimer's disease, [3] and premature death [4]

    Acute exposure to these decomposition products can result in symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat. [10] Engine bearing seals are installed to ensure that critical engine bearings are continuously lubricated, and to prevent engine oil from leaking into the compressed air stream. Engine seals will leak a ...

  6. Excessive daytime sleepiness - Wikipedia

    Obstructive sleep apnea [6] Misalignments of the body's circadian pacemaker with the environment (e.g., jet lag , shift work , or other circadian rhythm sleep disorders ) [ 7 ] Another underlying sleep disorder , such as narcolepsy , sleep apnea , [ 8 ] idiopathic hypersomnia , or restless legs syndrome

  7. Upper airway resistance syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Airway_Resistance...

    Symptoms of UARS are similar to those of obstructive sleep apnea, but not inherently overlapping. Fatigue, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, unrefreshing sleep, anxiety, and frequent awakenings during sleep are the most common symptoms. Oxygen desaturation is minimal or absent in UARS, with most having a minimum oxygen saturation >92%. [8]

  8. Crankcase dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_dilution

    Crankcase dilution occurs when the fuel oil from the engine gets into the lube oil of the engine. This can be caused by the walls being wetted due to the fuel condensing in the cylinder. If the engine is cold, or there is an excess amount of cooling around the cylinder, [ 1 ] the fuel oil will condense and have a higher chance to end up in the ...

  9. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    Motor oil is used for the lubrication, cooling, and cleaning of internal combustion engines. Motor oil may be composed of only a lubricant base stock in the case of mostly obsolete non-detergent oil, or a lubricant base stock plus additives to improve the oil's detergency, extreme pressure performance, and ability to inhibit corrosion of engine ...
