Association between primary nocturnal enuresis and habitual snoring in children
(2006)Objectives. Nocturnal enuresis has been associated with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing mostly in hospital-referred adults and children. To investigate whether primary nocturnal enuresis is significantly associated ... -
Associations of Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Snoring With History of Wheezing in Childhood
(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 ... -
Clinical implications for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in the lung: friend or foe?
(2006)Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent mediator of angiogenesis which has multiple effects in lung development and physiology. VEGF is expressed in several parts of the lung and the pleura while it has been ... -
Comparison of blood pressure measurements in children with and without habitual snoring
(2005)Higher or similar systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure has been recorded in children with sleep apnea compared to subjects with primary snoring or in those with primary snoring compared to controls. To investigate the ... -
Low Morning Serum Cortisol Levels in Children with Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Moderate-to-Severe OSA
(2013)Background: Hypertrophic tonsillar tissue in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptors, which may reflect low endogenous cortisol levels. We have evaluated the effect ... -
Nasal corticosteroids for children with snoring
(2004)Nasal corticosteroids improve polysomnography indices but not symptoms in children with mild to moderate sleep-disordered breathing. We hypothesized that administration of nasal corticosteroids for 4 weeks to snoring ... -
Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in the exhaled breath condensate of children with OSA
(2012)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children has been associated with systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Limited evidence indicates that pediatric OSA is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in the airway. ... -
Resolution of nocturnal enuresis in snoring children after treatment with nasal budesonide
(2005)Nocturnal enuresis has been associated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea and may resolve after adenotonsillectomy. Nasal corticosteroids have improved symptoms and polysomnography findings in children with snoring. Two ... -
The role of leptin in the respiratory system: an overview
(2010)Since its cloning in 1994, leptin has emerged in the literature as a pleiotropic hormone whose actions extend from immune system homeostasis to reproduction and angiogenesis. Recent investigations have identified the lung ... -
Synopsis and Data Synthesis of Genetic Association Studies in Hypertension for the Adrenergic Receptor Family Genes: The CUMAGAS-HYPERT Database
(2010)BACKGROUND The adrenergic receptor (adrenoceptor) family genes have been extensively studied as candidate genes in hypertension but the results of individual genetic association studies (GAS) are controversial and inconclusive ... -
Tonsillar Size in 2-to 14-Year-Old Children With and Without Snoring
(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 ...
