T regulatory lymphocytes and endothelial function in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. [PDF]
, 2013 BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a low-grade inflammatory disease affecting the cardiovascular and metabolic systems. Increasing OSA severity reduces T-regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs) in OSA children. Since Tregs modulate endothelial activation,

Pathophysiology of Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]
Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2008 Abstract Sleep-disordered breathing is a common and serious cause of metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurocognitive morbidity in children. The spectrum of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing ranges from habitual snoring to partial or complete airway obstruction, termed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Trends in Diagnosing Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Pediatrics [PDF]
Children, 2022 Obstructive sleep apnea in children has been linked with behavioral and neurocognitive problems, impaired growth, cardiovascular morbidity, and metabolic consequences. Diagnosing children at a young age can potentially prevent significant morbidity associated with OSA.
