Effects of adenotonsillectomy on R-R interval and brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with sleep apnea: A preliminary report
Kaditis, A. G.; Chaidas, K.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Varlami, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Gourgoulianis, K. (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 Severity Of Sleep Apnea On Serum Lipid Levels In Greek Children With Snoring
Alexopoulos, E.; Kaditis, A.; Gletsou, E.; Varlami, V.; Kostadima, E.; Evangelopoulos, K.; Malakasioti, G.; Chaidas, K.; Ntamagka, G.; Karathanasi, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2010) -
Interactions of Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing With Recurrent Wheezing or Asthma and Their Effects on Sleep Quality
Malakasioti, G.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Chrousos, G.; Kaditis, A. (2011)Snoring is the most characteristic symptom of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing ( SDB) and recurrent wheezing is the most common clinical manifestation of asthma. The purpose of the present review is to outline the ... -
Low Morning Serum Cortisol Levels in Children with Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Moderate-to-Severe OSA
Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Varlami, V.; Chaidas, K.; Liakos, N.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (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
Varlami, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Theologi, V.; Theophanous, E.; Liakos, N.; Daskalopoulou, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (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 ... -
Nocturnal enuresis is associated with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in children with snoring
Alexopoulos, E. I.; Malakasioti, G.; Varlami, V.; Miligkos, M.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2014)BACKGROUND: Conflicting data suggest that prevalence of monosymptomatic primary nocturnal enuresis (NE) increases with increasing severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in childhood and especially in girls. We hypothesized ... -
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, and Morning Plasma TNF-alpha Levels in Greek Children
Alexopoulos, E. I.; Theologi, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Maragozidis, P.; Tsilioni, I.; Chrousos, G.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (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 ... -
Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in the exhaled breath condensate of children with OSA
Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E.; Befani, C.; Tanou, K.; Varlami, V.; Ziogas, D.; Liakos, P.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (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. ... -
Parental History of Adenotonsillectomy Is Associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity in Children with Snoring
Alexopoulos, E. I.; Charitos, G.; Malakasioti, G.; Varlami, V.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Zintzaras, E.; Kaditis, A. G. (2014)Objective To test the hypothesis that history of adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy (AT) in at least 1 of the parents during childhood, is a risk factor for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (apnea-hypopnea ...
