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 ...
Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1alpha and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Biopsies of Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
(2009)
Neoangiogenesis has been documented in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). In addition, antiangiogenic therapies are being tested in clinical trials that involve SCLC. However, study of the underlying mechanisms 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 ...
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 ...
Morning levels of fibrinogen in children with sleep-disordered breathing
(2004)
Elevated fibrinogen level is a predictor of cardiovascular disease in adults, and it is associated with sleep-disordered breathing. Levels of fibrinogen in adults are affected by other co-existing cardiovascular risk ...
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. ...
