  2. 1. Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea : Evaluation of surgical treatments and immunological aspects

    Author : Isabella Sjölander; Danielle Friberg; Johan Hellgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstructive sleep apnea; pediatric sleep disordered breathing; tonsillar surgery; Polysomnography; adenotonsillotomy; adenotonsillectomy; Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire; OSA-18; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    Abstract : Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder often caused by  enlargement of the adenoid and the tonsils. The peak prevalence is among children who are two to six years of age, when the lymphatic tissue is  most active. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging, since the symptoms are often unspecific.

  4. 2. Obstructive sleep apnea : General characteristics in hypertensive patients, positional sensitivity, and upper airway sensory neuropathy

    Author : Ola Sunnergren; Eva Svanborg; Anders Broström; Jan Hedner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder, especially in populations with cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately most cases with OSA remain undiagnosed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Sleep-disordered breathing in women : Associations with cardiovascular disease and the significance of sleep apnea during REM sleep

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstructive sleep apnea; REM sleep; cardiovascular disease; heart failure; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Abstract : Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but it is unclear which elements of SDB that are most harmful to the cardiovascular system and whether the associations observed in men also apply to women.Aim: To investigate associations between different aspects of SDB and cardiovascular disease in womenMethods and results: All four papers were based on participants in “Sleep and Health in Women” (SHE), a population-based cohort study of women.
