Neurocognitive and behavioral impact of sleep disordered breathing in children Tập 44 Số 5 - Trang 417-422 - 2009
Judith Owens
AbstractThe consequences of poor quality and/or inadequate sleep in children and adolescents have become a major public health concern, and one in which pediatric health care professionals have become increasingly involved. In particular, insufficient and/or fragmented sleep resulting from primary sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), often compoun...... hiện toàn bộ Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea in Thai school‐age children: Prevalence and predisposing factors Tập 32 Số 3 - Trang 222-227 - 2001
Wanaporn Anuntaseree, K. Rookkapan, Surachai Kuasirikul, Paramee Thongsuksai
AbstractWe studied the prevalence of habitual snoring and its associations with tonsillar size, allergic rhinitis, obesity, and parental smoking, as well as prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) in a sample of 1,142 children aged 6–13 years (mean, 7.25 ± 0.58) from seven randomly selected schools in Hat yai, Southern Thailand.Eighty‐five (8....... hiện toàn bộ Predictors of mortality in adults with cystic fibrosis Tập 42 Số 6 - Trang 525-532 - 2007

AbstractAssessment of prognostic indicators in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is important. The study's aim was to assess the relative contribution of gender, genetics and microbiology on survival in adults with CF. Adult patients were studied from 1995 to 2005 and data collected included FEV1 (%predicted), body mass index (BMI), genetics, ...... hiện toàn bộ Volume guarantee: Stability of tidal volume and incidence of hypocarbia Tập 38 Số 3 - Trang 240-245 - 2004
Martin Keszler, Kabir Abubakar
AbstractExcessive tidal volume (VT) can lead to lung injury, hypocarbia, and neurologic damage. Volume guarantee (VG) uses exhaled VT as the control variable to reduce the risk of volutrauma and more closely control PaCO2. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that VG combined with assist/control (A/...... hiện toàn bộ Effects of fetal growth restriction on lung development before and after birth: A morphometric analysis Tập 32 Số 3 - Trang 201-210 - 2001

AbstractOur aim was to determine the effects of fetal growth restriction (FGR) during late gestation on the structure of the lungs in the fetus near term and at 8 weeks after birth. The studies were performed using two groups of pregnant sheep and their offspring. In both groups, FGR was induced by umbilico‐placental embolisation (UPE); for fetal studies, UPE was p...... hiện toàn bộ Impact of targeted‐volume ventilation on lung inflammatory response in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) Tập 37 Số 6 - Trang 510-514 - 2004
Gianluca Lista, Maria Rosa Colnaghi, Francesca Castoldi, Valentina Condò, R. Reali, G Compagnoni, Fabio Mosca
AbstractVolutrauma and pulmonary inflammation are thought to be the most important predisposing factors of chronic lung disease (CLD), a major complication of prematurity. A new option in patient‐triggered ventilation (PTV), the volume guarantee (VG), a volume‐targeted ventilation, seems to be a promising approach in reducing the risk of CLD, by limiting lung infla...... hiện toàn bộ Tracheostomy in children: A population‐based experience over 17 years Tập 45 Số 5 - Trang 487-493 - 2010
Mohammed T. Alsamri, Ian C. Mitchell, Derek Drummond, Candice Bjornson
AbstractIntroductionTracheostomy is a lifesaving intervention with numerous complications.ObjectivesWe describe the natural history of tracheostomy in children in a defined geographical area over a 17‐year period. Our primary aim is to stress the need for a consensus o...... hiện toàn bộ Glutathione metabolism in newborns: Evidence for glutathione deficiency in plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and lymphocytes in prematures Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 160-166 - 1995
Ajey Jain, Taral Mehta, Peter A. M. Auld, José A. Rodrigues, Robert F. Ward, Morton K. Schwartz, Johan Mårtensson
AbstractRespiratory distress in premature newborns is associated with deficiency of surfactant in the bronchoalveolar lining fluid; this may be influenced by a local deficiency of antioxidants. Severe L‐buthionine‐S, R‐sulfoximine‐induced depletion of glutathione (GSH, a major antioxidant) in rodents is associated with lung type 2 cell lamellar body damage and decr...... hiện toàn bộ
