Associations of Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Snoring With History of Wheezing in Childhood
Kaditis, A. G.; Kalampouka, E.; Hatzinikolaou, S.; Lianou, L.; Papaefthimiou, M.; Gartagani-Panagiotopoulou, P.; Zintzaras, E.; Chrousos, G. (2010)Background: Reports in adults and children have correlated history of wheezing or asthma with the presence of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing but the mechanism of this epidemiologic association is unknown. The goal ... -
Cysteinyl leukotriene receptors in tonsillar B- and T-lymphocytes from children with obstructive sleep apnea
Tsaoussoglou, M.; Lianou, L.; Maragozidis, P.; Hatzinikolaou, S.; Mavromati, M.; Orologas, N.; Panaghiotopoulou-Gartagani, P.; Rassidakis, G.; Balatsos, N. A. A.; Chrousos, G.; Kaditis, A. G. (2012)Objectives: Cysteinyl leukotrienes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of adenotonsillar hypertrophy in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aimed to quantify the expression of cysteinyl leukotriene ... -
Expression of biosynthetic enzymes for leukotrienes B4 and C4 in tonsillar tissue of children with OSA
Tsaoussoglou, M.; Hatzinikolaou, S.; Lianou, L.; Maragozidis, P.; Balatsos, N.; Panaghiotopoulou-Gartagani, P.; Chrousos, G.; Kaditis, A. (2013) -
Expression of Leukotriene Biosynthetic Enzymes in Tonsillar Tissue of Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea A Prospective Nonrandomized Study
Tsaoussoglou, M.; Hatzinikolaou, S.; Baltatzis, G. E.; Lianou, L.; Maragozidis, P.; Balatsos, N. A. A.; Chrousos, G.; Kaditis, A. G. (2014)IMPORTANCE Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) potentially promote adenotonsillar hypertrophy in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Previous studies have identified CysLTs and their receptors in tonsillar tissue from ... -
Interactions of Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing With Recurrent Wheezing or Asthma and Their Effects on Sleep Quality
Malakasioti, G.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Chrousos, G.; Kaditis, A. (2011)Snoring is the most characteristic symptom of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing ( SDB) and recurrent wheezing is the most common clinical manifestation of asthma. The purpose of the present review is to outline the ... -
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, and Morning Plasma TNF-alpha Levels in Greek Children
Alexopoulos, E. I.; Theologi, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Maragozidis, P.; Tsilioni, I.; Chrousos, G.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2013)Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with increased frequency of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Increased plasma TNF-alpha levels may mediate this association in adults, but conflicting results ... -
Tonsillar Size in 2-to 14-Year-Old Children With and Without Snoring
Kaditis, A. G.; Lianou, L.; Hatzinikolaou, S.; Kalampouka, E.; Gartagani-Panayiotopoulou, P.; Zintzaras, E.; Chrousos, G. (2009)Background: Few investigations have assessed tonsillar size in children of variable age, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) status and degree of adiposity. This study evaluated the size of tonsils in young and older, lean ...
