parallel-group trial of nasal fluticasone propionate versus placebo in 25 children aged 1 to 10 years. Although the study concluded that nasal fluticasone decreased the number of mixed and obstructive apneas and hypopneas, the posttreatment apnea hypopnea index remained high, and no improvement was ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and hypertension have a high rate of co-occurrence, with OSA being a causative factor for hypertension. Sympathetic activity due to intermittent hypoxia and/or fragmented sleep is the most important mechanisms triggering the elevation in blood pressure in OSA. OSA-relat...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an underdiagnosed condition characterized by recurrent episodes of obstruction of the upper airway leading to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia during sleep. Obesity predisposes to OSA, and the prevalence of OSA is increasing worldwide because of the ongoing ...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious medical condition with a high prevalence, although diagnosis remains a challenge. Existing home sleep tests may provide acceptable diagnosis performance but have shown several limitations. In this retrospective study, we used 12,923 polysomnography recordings fr...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are two important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Numerous studies have highlighted the interplay between these two conditions. We provide a critical review of the current l

Children with OSA had significantly higher TREM-1 and pentraxin-3 levels (versus controls: p < 0.01, p < 0.05, respectively). Plasma TREM-1 was significantly correlated with both BMI-z score and the obstructive AHI in uni-variate models. Pentraxin-3 levels were inversely correlated with BMI-...
