Adiposity in relation to age as predictor of severity of sleep apnea in children with snoring

Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Hatzi, F.; Karadonta, I.; Chaidas, K.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Zintzaras, E.; Syrogiannopoulos, G. A. (2008)

Correlation between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea has been documented in both adults and children. This investigation evaluated importance of body mass index (BMI) in relation to age as predictor of severity of ...

Cysteinyl leukotriene receptors are expressed by tonsillar T cells of children with obstructive sleep apnea

Kaditis, A. G.; Ioannou, M. G.; Chaidas, K.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Apostolidou, M.; Apostolidis, T.; Koukoulis, G.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2008)

Background: Increased expression of cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 [LT1-R]; cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-2 [LT2-R]) has been detected in adenotonsillar tissue from children with ...

Effects Of Severity Of Sleep Apnea On Serum Lipid Levels In Greek Children With Snoring

Alexopoulos, E.; Kaditis, A.; Gletsou, E.; Varlami, V.; Kostadima, E.; Evangelopoulos, K.; Malakasioti, G.; Chaidas, K.; Ntamagka, G.; Karathanasi, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2010)

Metabolites of Nitric Oxide in Greek Children with Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Alexopoulos, E.; Ntamagka, G.; Gougoura, S.; Chaidas, K.; Karathanasi, A.; Kostadima, E.; Liakos, P.; Kaditis, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2009)

Urine Levels of Catecholamines in Greek Children With Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Damani, E.; Hatzi, F.; Chaidas, K.; Kostopoulou, T.; Tzigeroglou, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2009)

Introduction: Adults with obstructive sleep apnea have increased sympathetic activity It was hypothesized that in children with symptoms of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), morning urine levels of catecholamines ...

Urine Concentrations of Cysteinyl Leukotrienes in Children with Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Kaditis, A.; Chaidas, K.; Alexopoulos, E.; Ntamagka, G.; Karathanasi, A.; Boultadakis, E.; Kiropoulos, T.; Tsilioni, I.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2009)

Effects of adenotonsillectomy on R-R interval and brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with sleep apnea: A preliminary report

Kaditis, A. G.; Chaidas, K.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Varlami, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2011)

Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with decreased R-R interval length and overall R-R interval variability in the electrocardiogram along with increased morning brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) blood levels. ...

Low Morning Serum Cortisol Levels in Children with Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Moderate-to-Severe OSA

Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Varlami, V.; Chaidas, K.; Liakos, N.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (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 ...

Serum nitrite and nitrate levels in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing

Kaditis, A.; Alexopoulos, E.; Ntamagka, G.; Chaidas, K.; Karathanasi, A.; Gougoura, S.; Papathanasiou, A. A.; Liakos, P.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2010)

Background: Diminished nitric oxide (NO) levels have been reported in adults with obstructive sleep apnea but no data are available for children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Objectives: To assess ...

Variants in C-reactive protein and IL-6 genes and susceptibility to obstructive sleep apnea in children: a candidate-gene association study in European American and Southeast European populations

Kaditis, A. G.; Gozal, D.; Khalyfa, A.; Kheirandish-Gozal, L.; Capdevila, O. S.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Chaidas, K.; Bhattacharjee, R.; Kim, J.; Rodopoulou, P.; Zintzaras, E. (2014)

Background: Preliminary evidence indicates that variants of the C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6 genes might be associated with the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in childhood. Thus a candidate-gene association ...
