“…In a study of 118 consecutive treatment resistant depression cases in Turkey, 27% were already diagnosed OSA and 11% more were found to be high risk for OSA [28]. These 38% patients benefitted significantly with treatment for OSA in terms of depressive symptoms.…”

Obesity is a common medical condition complicating psychiatric illnesses. Obstructive sleep apnea is a closely related disorder to obesity with hazardous consequences in terms of both morbidity and mortality. In this article, we have made a qualitative search of both primary studies and systematic reviews pertaining to comorbid depression and OSA. Under a structured format, the article discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutic significance of the association followed by a conclusion for clinical, as well as research approaches to co-morbidity.

Airway Centric Orthodontics is a philosophy which trumps everything else in contemporary Orthodontics. The philosophy focuses on practice of clinical orthodontics aimed at achieving ideal jaw relationship, establish normal oral function and performance, optimal proximal and occlusal contact of teeth. The central aspect of function and performance is airway and breathing which in fact is hierarchically the most important function for humans. Ideal health and ideal facial development is dependent on correct tongue posture and nasal breathing. Therefore contemporary protocols be it Preventive, interceptive or corrective orthodontics should factor upper airway improvement in addition to improving smile and facial appearance. Today Orthodontic profession is crucial and integral part of the interdisciplinary team in the management of upper airway sleep disorders, thus well poised to become a part of mainstream health profession. The paper would revisit the decision making process in orthodontics and discuss orthodontic strategies to improve the vital human airway which is essential for good health, longevity, and well-being.

Purpose This paper aims to conceptualise the residential and psychiatric hospital as a space where criminality and social harms can emerge. Because of recent media scandals over the past 10 years concerning privately-owned hospitals, this study examines the lived experiences of service users/survivors, family members and practitioners to examine historic and contemporary encounters of distress and violence in hospital settings. Design/methodology/approach The study consists of 16 biographical accounts exploring issues of dehumanising and harmful practices, such as practices of restraint and rituals of coercive violence. A biographical methodology has been used to analyse the life stories of service users/survivors (n = 9), family members (n = 3) and professional health-care employees (n = 4). Service users/survivors in this study have experienced over 40 years of short-term and long-term periods of hospitalisation. Findings The study discovered that institutional forms of violence had changed after the deinstitutionalisation of care. Practitioners recalled comprehensive experiences of violence within historic mental hospitals, although violence that may be considered criminal appeared to disappear from hospitals after the Mental Health Act (1983). These reports of criminal violence and coercive abuse appeared to be replaced with dehumanising and harmful procedures, such as practices of restraint. Originality/value The data findings offer a unique interpretation, both historical and contemporary, of dehumanising psychiatric rituals experienced by service users/survivors, which are relevant to criminology and MAD studies. The study concludes by challenging oppressive psychiatric “harms” to promote social justice for service users/survivors currently being “treated” within the contemporary psychiatric system. The study intends to conceptualise residential and psychiatric hospitals as a space where criminality and social harms can emerge. The three aims of the study examined risk factors concerning criminality and social harms, oppressive and harmful practices within hospitals and evidence that violence occurs within these institutionalised settings. The study discovered that institutional forms of violence had changed after the deinstitutionalisation of care. These reports of violence include dehumanising attitudes, practices of restraint and coercive abuse.
