Low-grade albuminuria in children with obstructive sleep apnea
(2013)
Small urinary protein loss (low-grade albuminuria or microalbuminuria) may reflect altered permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier. In the present study, it was hypothesized that children with obstructive sleep ...
Obesity and Persisting Sleep Apnea After Adenotonsillectomy in Greek Children
(2008)
Background: The relative importance of obesity and adenotonsillar hypertrophy in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in childhood is unclear. Adenotonsillectomy (AT) for SDB is not always ...

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 ...
Adiposity and Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation Modulate Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Levels in Greek Children With Sleep Apnea
(2010)
Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plasma levels correlate with C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and they are both increased in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). No studies have evaluated MMP-9 ...
Absence of blood pressure, metabolic, and inflammatory marker changes after adenotonsillectomy for sleep apnea in Greek children
(2008)
Aim: Pediatric studies revealed associations of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and elevated blood pressure. Evidence about effects of adenotonsillectomy on these ...
