RESUMO O sono é essencial para o adequado funcionamento de todos os indivíduos. Os distúrbios respiratórios do sono ocorrem em todas as faixas etárias, constituindo motivo frequente de consulta médica. O objetivo deste consenso foi atualizar os conhecimentos sobre os principais distúrbios respiratórios do sono tanto na população adulta quanto na pediátrica, com ênfase na apneia obstrutiva do sono. A apneia obstrutiva do sono é uma doença extremamente prevalente, porém frequentemente subdiagnosticada. Associa-se frequentemente a uma série de comorbidades, notadamente cardiovasculares, metabólicas e neurocognitivas, que impactam significativamente na qualidade de vida e na mortalidade. Por conta disso, o Departamento de Distúrbios Respiratórios do Sono da Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia reuniu 14 especialistas com reconhecida e comprovada experiência em distúrbios respiratórios do sono para a elaboração deste documento.

ABSTRACT Sleep is essential for the proper functioning of all individuals. Sleep-disordered breathing can occur at any age and is a common reason for medical visits. The objective of this consensus is to update knowledge about the main causes of sleep-disordered breathing in adult and pediatric populations, with an emphasis on obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is an extremely prevalent but often underdiagnosed disease. It is often accompanied by comorbidities, notably cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurocognitive disorders, which have a significant impact on quality of life and mortality rates. Therefore, to create this consensus, the Sleep-Disordered Breathing Department of the Brazilian Thoracic Association brought together 14 experts with recognized, proven experience in sleep-disordered breathing.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present research was to compare the residual microbial load in Solo System microfiber mops with silver and in normal microfiber mops without silver to see whether those with the silver prevent bacterial proliferation and spread more effectively during normal cleaning operations. METHODS: Mops with and without silver were experimentally contaminated with suspension of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. The bioburden was evaluated by a filtering procedure according to UNI EN 1174 after contamination, after washing and after different times of impregnation in an alcohol-base detergent. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The results obtained lead to the conclusion that silver microfiber mop was significantly more effective in reducing bacterial load despite initial high level contamination (10(6)-10(7) CFU/50 cm²). Indeed, after low temperature washing, the bacterial load was already completely eliminated while the mop without silver still presented relatively high levels of the microorganism (approximately 10² CFU/50 cm²) even after being soaked for 8 hours in a detergent/disinfectant.
