The objective of this work was to study the effect of nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function of simple snoring patients and subjects affected by OSAS; we compared the audiologic profile with the severity of OSAS to detect early signs of cochlear damage. One hundred-sixty patients
Men who snore heavily have an increased incidence of hypertension, angina, stroke, and neuropsychologic dysfunction, which may be due to nocturnal oxygen desaturation. Nocturnal oxygen therapy might be beneficial to such individuals by improving oxygenation and relieving tissue hypoxia. Twenty-eight
OBJECTIVE
Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with impaired behavior and poor academic performance in children. We aimed to determine the extent of behavioral problems in snoring children, clarify the role of intermittent hypoxia, and test the reversibility of impaired behavior and poor
Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with impaired attention and neurocognitive deficits. We assessed the association of snoring and intermittent hypoxia with poor academic performance in third grade school children (1,144 children). Snoring frequency and intermittent hypoxia were investigated
Fifty-two men (aged 41-50 years) of whom 25 reported habitual and 27 of occasional or never snoring were examined clinically. Whole-night sleep recordings of body and breathing movements, snoring and blood oxygen saturation were made. Hypoxic events exceeding 4% from the baseline were counted.
OBJECTIVE
To identify a lower limit of the prevalence of sleep-related breathing disturbances among preschool children.
METHODS
A cross-sectional epidemiologic study in two stages, first by questionnaires and second by whole-night investigation of children symptomatic of the sleep apnea
The effect of snoring on overnight pulse oximetry recordings in the paediatric community was investigated. A random sample of 222 children up to 10 years of age from the town of Frome, Somerset, UK, had overnight pulse oximetry performed in the home environment. The oximetry recordings obtained from
OBJECTIVE
Snoring is common among pregnant women and early reports suggest that it may bear a risk to the fetus. Increased fetal erythropoiesis manifested by elevated circulating nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) has been found in complicated pregnancies involving fetal hypoxia. Both erythropoietin
Surgical treatment of snoring requires suppression both of the obstacle responsible for the nocturnal respiratory noise but also of the chronic hypoxia on which the sleep of these patients is grafted. The soft palate and its appendages (uvula and tonsillar pillars) are always involved. Precise
OBJECTIVE
To test the hypothesis that snoring, independently of sleep apnea, is a significant determinant of nocturnal oxygen saturation.
METHODS
Prospective study.
METHODS
Sleep disorders clinic, university teaching hospital.
METHODS
Six hundred twenty-five nonapneic snorers referred to the
OBJECTIVE
To report on the prevalence of premature (PM) birth in a consecutive series of children treated for snoring and sleep-disordered breathing (S/SDB), the parameters specific to their management and variables predictive of disease severity.
METHODS
A retrospective study was undertaken at a
The problems children have in sleeping are manifold; the gamut of disorders that have been described ranges from simple, occasional snoring with no accompanying complications, through the syndrome of increased blockage of the upper airways to the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between snoring and mean arterial blood pressure during sleep. This was accomplished by performing continuous, all-night, simultaneous measurements of snoring, oxygen saturation, sleep stages, and arterial blood pressure in a group of eight
OBJECTIVE
Sleep architecture is not preserved in children with sleep-disordered breathing but, rather, undergoes dynamic changes that exhibit significant correlation with severity of sleep-disordered breathing. A sleep pressure score (SPS) with a cutoff value of 0.25 was derived from analysis of a
A decrease in hemoglobin affinity for oxygen is considered an adaptive mechanism against tissue hypoxia. Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of apnea and hypopnea resulting in arterial oxygen desaturations during sleep. Maillard et al. (10)
