It is well known that mouth breathing associated with adenotonsillar hypertrophy - which the main cause of obstructive sleep apnea among children. Despite importance this matter, there are only a handful studies showing relationship between OSAS and breathing.to determine prevalence disorders in children study its correlation otorhinolaryngological findings.Retrospective cohort study.Data analysis from 248 medical charts seen at Pediatric Otolaryngologic Division large institution years 2000...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficiência da tosse através do uso de duas manobras manuais auxílio à tosse. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados 28 pacientes portadores distrofia muscular Duchenne em ventilação mecânica não-invasiva noturna e CVF < 60% previsto. O pico fluxo (PFT) foi medido, com o paciente sentado, quatro momentos: esforço expiratório máximo (EEM) forma espontânea (basal), EEM associado compressão torácica, após empilhamento ar bolsa dessas técnicas (técnica combinada). As três últimas...
The aim of this study was to evaluate daytime and nighttime sleep, as well sleepiness professional shift-working bus drivers. Thirty-two licensed drivers were assessed by nocturnal diurnal polysomnography (PSG) recording multiple sleep latency testing (MSLT) sessions. Sleep length shorter efficiency reduced during compared with sleep. Thirty-eight percent the had indices obstructive apnea hypopnea syndrome (>5/h sleep) sleep; more snored than (50% vs. 35%, p < 0.05), 38% evidenced periodic...
Nonpharmacological interventions may lead to an improvement in sleep quality. The objective of our study was evaluate the effects acute intensive exercise and chronic on patterns patients with periodic leg movements (PLM).The involved exercise. group consisted 22 volunteers who underwent a maximum effort test polysomnography (PSG) same night. included 11 performed 72 physical training sessions undergoing three PSG studies night 1, 36, 72.

Sleep obstructive breathing disorders are frequent in children but the impact of sleep deprivation on cognitive learning function is unclear.To establish whether patients with show any functional change learning, memory and attention.Eighty-one aged from 6 to 12 years were divided into 3 groups: apnea syndrome (OSAS), n=24; primary snoring (PS), n=37; control, n=20. The groups assessed using (Rey) psychological (Digit, Code, Letter Concealing, Symbol) tests.OSAS PS showed statistically...
Parents of children with migraine have described a higher prevalence sleep bruxism and other disturbances in their children.

Obesity is considered a chronic subinflammatory disease and risk factor for many diseases such as sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Although the interaction between obesity sleep has been explored, not much known about SDB in adolescent population. Thus, aims of this study were, first, to verify effect 1 year interdisciplinary therapy on inflammatory markers without and, second, investigate influence result by comparing these groups. A total 36 obese adolescents were enrolled; however, only...
Os distúrbios obstrutivos do sono são relativamente freqüentes na população pediátrica, porém o impacto da perda aprendizagem e função cognitiva não está bem estabelecido. OBJETIVO: Avaliar se pacientes com apresentam alteração de aprendizagem, memória atenção. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODO: Foram avaliadas 81 crianças 6 a 12 anos idade, divididas em 3 grupos: grupo SAHOS (n=24), Ronco Primário (n=37) Controle (n=20), através testes (Teste Rey) cognitivos (Dígito, Código, Cancelamento Letras...
The cholinergic system is involved in the modulation of both bottom-up and top-down attentional control. Top-down attention engages multiple executive control processes, but few studies have investigated whether all or selective elements functions are modulated by system. To investigate acute effects pro-cholinergic donepezil young, healthy volunteers on distinct components we conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, independent-groups design study including 42 young male participants...
Children may present sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and suffer with adverse effects upon their quality of life.

The subject's was based answers caregivers gave diagnostic polysomnography tests. A...
Background: Peak sound levels during sleep can compromise the development of hospitalized infants. Quiet time is a strategy implemented in neonatal units to promote sleeping neonates by reducing noise levels, luminosity, and handling particular periods day.

The main post-polio syndrome (PPS) symptoms are new-onset weakness, atrophy, fatigue, cold intolerance, and pain associated with sleep disturbances. polysomnographic study is the gold pattern to analyze disorders.To assess pain, intolerance periodic limb movements (PLM) index before after use of MIG3 bioceramic fabrics over 4 weeks.12 patients PPS from UNIFESP/EPM. All were submitted polysomnography infra-red examinations answered scales bioceramics fabrics.There significant decreases in PLM...
Post-polio syndrome (PPS) in individuals with polio longer than 15 years is characterized by weakness and/or muscle fatigue, deficit of deglutition and breath periodic limb movements (PLM) during sleep. We undertook a review 99 patients PPS, assessed the frequency PLM through polysomnographic recordings at our sleep disorders unit. The total number PLM, time (TTS), efficiency (EfS), awaking index (AI) apnea-hypopnea (AHI) were analyzed. Sixteen presented excess 5 for entire night. When...
There are no data adressing the prevalence of restless legs syndrome in subjects who have knee prosthesis. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional survey underwent prosthesis surgery.A total 107 (30 male, 77 female) were interviewed over telephone regarding symptoms.
