Cardiac systolic function in Greek children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing
(2010)Background: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SOB) in children has been associated with increased ventricular strain and decreased left ventricle (LV) diastolic function. The aim of this study was to assess systolic ... -
The DJ-1 protein as a candidate biomarker in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2014)Oxidative stress has a central role in the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The DJ-1 protein functions as a sensor of oxidative stress, acting both as a reactive oxygen species scavenger (ROS) ... -
DNA damage and repair in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2005)The Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a respiratory disorder characterized by short breathing pauses during sleep. These pauses vary according to the Apnea type and the severity of the case. People suffering from Obstructive Sleep ... -
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. ... -
Effects of obstructive sleep apnea severity on serum lipid levels in Greek children with snoring
(2011)Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related to dyslipidemia in adults, limited data are available regarding its effects on serum lipids during childhood. Aim of this study was to assess the potential relationships ... -
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 ... -
Sleep-disordered breathing in 3,680 Greek children
(2004)The goal of the present investigation was to describe the prevalence of and clinical factors associated with sleep-disordered breathing in children and adolescents. Children and adolescents (3,680 in all, 1-18 years old) ... -
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 ... -
Variants in C-reactive protein and IL-6 genes and susceptibility to obstructive sleep apnea in children: a candidate-gene association study in European American and Southeast European populations
(2014)Background: Preliminary evidence indicates that variants of the C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6 genes might be associated with the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in childhood. Thus a candidate-gene association ...
