Abstract Objectives : To determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in extremely overweight adolescents and to examine effect significant weight loss on OSA severity. Research Methods Procedures We reviewed anthropometric polysomnographic data all who underwent laparoscopic Roux en Y gastric bypass surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center from July 2001 September 2004. Repeat polysomnograms were performed after loss. Comparisons made between pre‐ postoperative...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a fairly common nocturnal breathing disorder, affecting 2–4% of individuals. Although OSA associated with medical morbidity, its most functionally disruptive effects in adults appear to be neuropsychological nature. Research on the pediatric has been limited. This study compared functioning school-aged children that healthy children. The primary goal was clarify presence and pattern morbidity OSA. Sleep assessed parent-report questionnaires laboratory...
Adenotonsillectomy, the first line of treatment sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), is most commonly performed pediatric surgery. Predictors recurrence SDB after adenotonsillectomy and its impact on cardiovascular risk factors have not been identified.Demonstrate that gain velocity in body mass index (BMI) defined as unit increase BMI/year confers an independent for 1 year adenotonsillectomy.Children with hypertrophy tonsils a comparison group healthy children were followed prospectively...
To determine, in a series of children younger than 6 years undergoing adenotonsillectomy for treatment clinical obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), the effect age on prevalence postoperative respiratory complications. The primary objective was to define practice standard hospital admission.Retrospective analysis.Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio.All who underwent treat OSAS from June 1, 1999, May 31, 2001.The percentage 3 experience complication.Of 2315...
In 2001, the Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance, Research and Education Amendments (MD-CARE Act) was enacted, which directed federal agencies to coordinate development of treatments cures for muscular dystrophy. As part mandate, Centers Disease Control Prevention (CDC) initiated surveillance educational activities, included supporting care considerations Duchenne dystrophy (DMD) utilizing RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (RAM). This document represents consensus recommendations...
There is a well-recognized need for shift to proactive asthma care given the impact has on overall healthcare costs. The demand continuous monitoring of patient's adherence medication plan, assessment environmental triggers, and management can be challenging in traditional clinical settings taxing professionals. Recent years have seen robust growth general purpose conversational systems. However, they lack capabilities support applications such an individual's health, which requires ability...
OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to determine whether long-term steroid therapy is associated with increased peak cough flow in patients Duchenne muscular dystrophy and which pulmonary function test variable most predictive flow. METHODS. In case-control study, the medical charts who had tests at our institution previous 2 years were examined. Steroid-treated on for least 1 year. measured included forced vital capacity, maximum expiratory pressure, inspiratory voluntary...
Abstract Adenotonsillectomy, the first‐line surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children, is successful only 50% of obese children. Computational fluid dynamics tools, which have been applied to differentiate OSA patients from those without based on airway flow characteristics, can be potentially used identify likely benefit intervention. We present computational modeling upper before and after adenotonsillectomy an female adolescent with OSA. The subject underwent...
Enlargement of the lingual tonsils is being increasingly recognized as a not uncommon and treatable cause obstructive sleep apnea, particularly in patients with Down syndrome who have undergone palatine tonsillectomy adenoidectomy. We an increasing number are obese apnea enlarged tonsils. The purpose this study was to evaluate frequency children.Seventy-one children (mean body mass index = 41.6 kg/m(2)) underwent sagittal fast spin-echo inversion recovery imaging. Lingual were identified...
Monitoring indoor air quality is critical because Americans spend 93 of their life indoors, and around 6.3 million children suffer from asthma. We want to passively unobtrusively monitor the asthma patient's environment detect presence two asthma-exacerbating activities: smoking cooking using Foobot sensor. propose a data-driven approach develop continuous monitoring-activity detection system aimed at understanding improving in management. In this study, we were successfully able high...
In the traditional asthma management protocol, a child meets with clinician infrequently, once in 3 to 6 months, and is assessed using Asthma Control Test questionnaire. This information inadequate for timely determination of control, compliance, precise diagnosis cause, assessing effectiveness treatment plan. The continuous monitoring improved tracking child's symptoms, activities, sleep, adherence can allow triggers reliable assessment medication compliance effectiveness. Digital...
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary disease with multiple triggers. It can be managed by strict adherence to an asthma care plan and avoiding these Clinicians cannot continuously monitor their patients' environment plan, which poses significant challenge for management.In this study, pediatric patients were monitored using low-cost sensors collect asthma-relevant information. The objective of study was assess whether kHealth kit, contains sensors, identify personalized triggers provide actionable...
Medical and technological advances over the past 2 decades have resulted in improved patient care for children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The objective of present study was to describe changes life expectancy pediatric patients SMA time compare these findings previously reported survival patterns.Medical records all diagnosed a 16-year period (1989-2005) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Center were reviewed. Data pertaining date birth, type SMA, medical surgical interventions,...
Objectives: We performed flow computations on an accurate upper airway model in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea and computed the velocity, static pressure, wall shear stress distribution model. Methods: Cartesian coordinates for boundaries were determined from cross-sectional magnetic resonance images, 3-dimensional computational of was constructed. Flow simulations then within FLUENT commercial software framework. Four different conditions simulated during inspiration, assuming...
