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 compounded by the
presence of comorbid s... hiện toàn bộ
Depressive symptoms in children with cystic fibrosis and parents and its effects on adherence to airway clearance Tập 45 Số 8 - Trang 756-763 - 2010
Beth A. Smith, Avani C. Modi, Alexandra L. Quittner, Beatrice L. Wood
AbstractBackgroundLittle is currently known about the co‐morbidity of depression
and cystic fibrosis (CF) and there is currently no empirical research on the
effects of depressive symptoms on adherence in children and adolescents with CF.
The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of depressive symptoms
in children and adolescents with CF and their parents, and determine whether

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 (8.5%) of the children were habitual snorers; the

Predictors of mortality in adults with cystic fibrosis Tập 42 Số 6 - Trang 525-532 - 2007
Jo‐Maree Courtney, Judy Bradley, John McCaughan, Terence M. O’Connor, C. Shortt, C. P. Bredin, Ian Bradbury, J.S. Elborn
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, and microbiology. Data was available on 183
patients i... 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/C) will
maintain PaCO2 and VT within target range more consistently than assist/control
alone du... 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
Gert S. Maritz, Megan L. Cock, Samantha Louey, B. Matthew Joyce, Cheryl A. Albuquerque, Richard Harding
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 performed from 120 days of
gestati... 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 inflammatory
injury and volutrauma. Ou... 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 on pediatric tracheostomy care.MethodsThis
retrospective study reviewed the charts of 72 children who had tracheostomy

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 decreased concentrations in lung

Lung inflammation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome: Effects of ventilation with different tidal volumes Tập 41 Số 4 - Trang 357-363 - 2006
Gianluca Lista, Francesca Castoldi, Paola Fontana, R. Reali, Alessandro Reggiani, Silvia Bianchi, G Compagnoni
AbstractVentilation with an inappropriate tidal volume (Vt) triggers lung
inflammation, an important predisposing factor of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. It
still remains uncertain what the appropriate starting target Vt should be during
the acute phase of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Our aim was to evaluate
lung inflammation in preterm infants undergoing synchronized intermittent
