Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2010
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common and serious cause of metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurocognitive morbidity in children. Children with OSAS have increased upper airway resistance during sleep due to a combination of soft tissue hypertrophy, craniofacial dysmorphology, neuromuscular weakness, or obesity.

Obstructive sleep apnea/ hypopnea syndrome

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999
Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSA/H) is a common disorder for which there are a variety of therapeutic options. All patients should make appropriate alterations in lifestyle and habits to reduce the risk of upper airway instability during sleep. The aggressiveness of additional treatment should be dictated by the severity of OSA/H, as measured by ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndromes

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2005
Complete or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep has different effects on the human body ranging from noisy breathing (snoring) to significant cardiovascular sequelae as seen in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring is very common in the adult population and has been associated with morbidity in epidemiological studies.

Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2013
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common health problem diagnosed and managed by various medical specialists, including family practice physicians, pediatricians, pulmonologists, and general and pediatric otolaryngologists. If left untreated, the sequelae can be severe.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2003
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by repetitive episodes of airflow reduction (hypopnea) or cessation (apnea) due to upper airway collapse during sleep. Increasing recognition and a greater understanding of the scope of this condition have substantially affected the practices of many clinicians.

Obstructive sleep apnea in Costello syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2006
AbstractCostello syndrome (CS) was initially described by Costello in 1971; it is caused by a germline mutation in HRAS proto‐oncogene. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the respiratory activity during sleep in a group of subjects with CS. We studied 10 consecutive patients, 4 males and 6 females, aged 3–29 years, affected by CS.

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2015
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a common clinical condition in which the throat narrows or collapses repeatedly during sleep, causing obstructive sleep apnoea events. The syndrome is particularly prevalent in middle-aged and older adults.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome

2006
Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete upper airway collapse during sleep that is highlighted by a reduction in, or complete cessation of, airflow despite documented on going inspiratory efforts.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Praxis, 2019
Humans spend about one third of a lifetime sleeping. We have learned a great deal about sleep and sleep disorders since the discovery of REM sleep in 1953. It is well known that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related disorder in which affected individuals struggle to breath at night, and have associated cardiopulmonary, metabolic, and ...

Laryngeal obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

The Laryngoscope, 1990
AbstractObstructive sleep apnea syndrome has been studied intensively since it was introduced in the 1970's; these studies have shown that the site of upper airway obstruction appears to vary among patients. Snoring is typically defined as the sound created by rhythmic oscillations of the soft palate in the inspiratory air stream during sleep.
