Tissue-specific Insulin Resistance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Role of Hypoxia
open to eligible people ages 40-70
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition associated with significant adverse health outcomes. Our overarching hypothesis is that patients with OSA and hypoxia (H-OSA) have greater degrees of insulin resistance in both liver and adipose tissue when compared to those without hypoxia (NH-OSA) thus leading to increased risk for the development of diabetes in the former group.

Accuracy of Pulse Oximeters With Profound Hypoxia at Rest
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of devices called pulse oximeters, which measure blood oxygen by shining light through fingers, ears or other skin, without requiring blood sampling. Study will be used with patients at rest.
