OBJECTIVE
We sought to derive normative reference values for the thoracic great vessels using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in a healthy normotensive non-obese population free of cardiovascular disease.
METHODS
Non-gated axial computed tomography (CT) of the chest has traditionally been
Although there are known detrimental effects of obesity on the heart and lungs, few data exist showing obesity as risk factor for cardiopulmonary disorders in dogs and cats. It is probable that increased abdominal fat is detrimental as it is in humans, and there is evidence of negative effects of
We describe two adult patients in whom acute tonsillitis resulted in the rapid development of cor pulmonale in the absence of clinically evident upper airway obstruction or diffuse obstructive airway disease. Both patients had developed symptoms of sleep apnea and all-night polysomnography confirmed
It is well appreciated that theophylline pharmacokinetics exhibits wide intersubject variation. Within-subject changes in clearance have been generally reported in patients with acute exacerbations of disease states such as cor pulmonale or heart failure. Apparent random changes in theophylline
Some patients with obesity show chronic hypercapnia while awake. Such patients are referred to as obesity hypoventilation syndrome(OHS). Particularly, patients with profound obesity who have clinical features of sleep disordered breathing, hypersomnolence, cor pulmonale and so on represent the
The obese patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery are at particularly high risk to develop postoperative pulmonary complications, and hypoxemia is one of the most common ones reported. During the initial postoperative period, they are often advised to maintain a semi-sitting position to optimize
OBJECTIVE
In adults, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. We aimed to establish correlation between OSA, serum lipid profile, and insulin levels in obese snoring children.
METHODS
Consecutive obese children with habitual snoring were recruited. They
