Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, and Morning Plasma TNF-alpha Levels in Greek Children
(2013)
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with increased frequency of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Increased plasma TNF-alpha levels may mediate this association in adults, but conflicting results ...
Transmembrane resistance and histology of isolated sheep leptomeninges
(2010)
Objective: Transmembrane resistance is a measure of ionic permeability. The occurrence of ionic permeability on the leptomeningeal tissue may suggest its contribution to the cerebrospinal fluid turnover. This property will ...
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 ...
Low RLS prevalence and awareness in central Greece: an epidemiological survey
(2007)
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder with a general population prevalence of 3-10%. A single, previous epidemiological study performed in southeast Europe reported the lowest prevalence rate amongst ...
