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 ...
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 ...
Uric acid excretion in North American and Southeast European children with obstructive sleep apnea
(2010)
Background and objectives: Responses to nocturnal hypoxemia accompanying sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may vary in different populations. Aims of this study were to (1) assess whether severity of SDB is related to uric ...
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. ...
