Overnight change in brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with sleep-disordered breathing
(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
(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 ...
Nocturnal change of circulating intercellular adhesion molecule 1 levels in children with snoring
(2007)
Hypoxia promotes adherence of leukocytes to endothelial cells by inducing expression of adhesion molecules like intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). Increased serum levels of circulating ICAM-1 (cICAM-1) have been ...
Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and fasting insulin levels in nonobese children
(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
(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 ...
Anti-inflammatory treatment for recurrent wheezing in the first five years of life
(2003)
Medications identified for the treatment of recurrent wheezing in preschool children by the Expert Panel Report of the NHLBI Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma include inhaled corticosteroids, chromones, ...
Urine Levels of Catecholamines in Greek Children With Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing
(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 ...
Spirometric values in Gypsy (Roma) children
(2008)
Values of spirometry indices vary among subjects of similar age, gender and somatometrics but of different ethnic origins. Low socioeconomic status in childhood is inversely related to lung growth. The aim of this investigation ...
Effects of adenotonsillectomy on R-R interval and brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with sleep apnea: A preliminary report
(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
(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 ...
