Biomarker of breathing control abnormality associated with hypertension and stroke
A study in the July 1 issue of the journal SLEEP identified a distinct ECG-derived spectrographic phenotype, designated as narrow-band elevated low frequency coupling (e-LFCNB), that is associated with prevalent hypertension, stroke, greater severity of sleep disordered breathing and sleep fragmentation in patients suffering from obstructive sleep... view more...

Link between a sleep-related breathing disorder and increased heart rate variability
A sleep-related breathing disorder, common in heart failure, increases one's heart rate variability. Further, central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) produce different patterns of heart rate variability, which are likely to reflect the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved. view more (2007-11-01)

Sleep disorders are largely underdiagnosed in pediatric patients
Primary care pediatricians may be under-diagnosing sleep disorders in children and teens, according to a research abstract that will be presented on Monday, June 8 at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. view more (2009-06-08)
Waist size and body mass index are risk factors for sleep disordered breathing in children
A study in the June 1 issue of the journal SLEEP found that waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) are consistent, independent risk factors for all severity levels of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in children, suggesting that as with adult SDB, metabolic factors are important risk factors for childhood SDB. view more (2009-06-01)
Sleep problems linked to obesity, lower quality of life in school-aged children
A research abstract that will be presented on Tuesday at SLEEP 2008, the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS), finds an increased prevalence of sleep problems among school-aged children who are obese and an association between increased weight and lower quality of life. view more (2008-06-10)
Will giving coffee to babies keep them awake as adults?
An F1000 evaluation looks at a Canadian study on how giving caffeine to newborn rats has a long-lasting and detrimental effect on sleep and breathing in adulthood. view more (2009-10-09)
Breastfeeding may help protect against a childhood sleep-related breathing disorder
A childhood sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD) is known to have negative consequences on cognitive development, behavior, quality of life and utilization of health care resources. view more (2007-06-11)
Sleep apnea increases risk of heart attack or death by 30 percent
The nighttime breathing disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea increases a person's risk of having a heart attack or dying by 30% over a period of four to five years. view more (2007-05-21)
Video imaging provides dynamic view of airway obstruction in those with sleep breathing disorder
A video imaging technique demonstrates that the soft palate, the tissue at the back of the roof of the mouth, is more elongated and angled in patients with obstructive sleep apnea both when they sleep and when they are awake, according to a report in the February issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives... view more...

A sleep-related breathing disorder among infants and toddlers born prematurely occurs earlier than expected in this population, and at higher rates than among full-term infants. view more (2007-06-11)
Breathing Support Reduces Blood Pressure For People With Sleep Apnoea (p 204)
A reduction in blood pressure-and in the probable risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease-could be possible for patients treated with nocturnal breathing support for sleep apnoea, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Obstructive sleep apnoea is a serious condition in which airflow from the nose and mouth to the... view more... (2002-01-17)
