Effects of obstructive sleep apnea severity on serum lipid levels in Greek children with snoring

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Gletsou, E.; Kostadima, E.; Kaditis, D.; Zakynthinos, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. (2011)

Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related to dyslipidemia in adults, limited data are available regarding its effects on serum lipids during childhood. Aim of this study was to assess the potential relationships ...

Nasal corticosteroids for children with snoring

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kaditis, A. G.; Kalampouka, E.; Kostadima, E.; Angelopoulos, N. V.; Mikraki, V.; Skenteris, N.; Gourgoulianis, K. (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 ...

Association between primary nocturnal enuresis and habitual snoring in children

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kostadima, E.; Pagonari, I.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (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 ...

Resolution of nocturnal enuresis in snoring children after treatment with nasal budesonide

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kaditis, A. G.; Kostadima, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (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 ...

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)

Overnight change in brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with sleep-disordered breathing

Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Hatzi, F.; Kostadima, E.; Kiaffas, M.; Zakynthinos, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2006)

Study objectives: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing is accompanied by episodic increases in left ventricle afterload due to large negative swings in intrathoracic pressure and repetitive surges in arterial pressure. ...

Obstructive steep-disordered breathing and plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in children

Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Karadonta, I.; Kostadima, E.; Kiropoulos, T.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Syrogiannopoulos, G. A. (2006)

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may be one of the pathophysiologic links in the association between obstructive steep apnea-hypopnea and cardiovascular disease. Morning serum VEGF levels are increased in children ...

Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and fasting insulin levels in nonobese children

Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Damani, E.; Karadonta, I.; Kostadima, E.; Tsolakidou, A.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Syrogiannopoulos, G. A. (2005)

A positive correlation of severity of sleep-disordered breathing with morning fasting insulin levels, which is independent of obesity, was reported in adults and obese children. We hypothesized that both severity of ...

Morning levels of C-reactive protein in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing

Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kalampouka, E.; Kostadima, E.; Germenis, A.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2005)

Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing is associated with cardiovascular disease in adults, and elevated C-reactive protein (CRIP) has been proposed as a link between the two disorders. We hypothesized that children with ...
