Normal children have a less collapsible upper airway in response to subatmospheric pressure administration (P NEG ) during sleep than normal adults do, and this appears be modulated by the central ventilatory drive. Children greater drive adults. We, therefore, hypothesized that increased neuromotor activation of their pharyngeal compared with As infants few obstructive apneas sleep, we would an was resistant collapse. pressure-flow (V̇) relationship between infants, prepubertal children, We...
Children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy and those an abnormal craniofacial morphology are predisposed to having sleep disordered breathing; many of these children mouth breathers. The aim this study was determine whether association exists between polysomnographic findings cephalometric measures in mouth-breathing children.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a chronic sensory-motor disorder characterized by unpleasant limb sensations and an irresistible urge to move. The International Legs Syndrome Study Group developed the Rating Scale (IRLS) assess severity of RLS symptoms. objective this study was translate validate IRLS into Brazilian Portuguese.The translated Portuguese, analyzed, back English, compared original version. It applied 10 patients for cultural verification. language adjusted final version...
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether mouth breathing children present the same cephalometric patterns as patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). METHOD: Cephalometric variables were traced and measured on vertical lateral radiographs. The measurements of 52 90 nose compared apneic patients. had not undergone adenoidectomy or tonsillectomy receiving orthodontic orthopedic treatment. RESULTS: Mouth showed pattern observed in OSAS: a tendency to have retruded mandible (p=0.05), along...
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorders that affect the cerebellum and its connections, have a marked clinical genetic variability. Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3)--MJD/SCA3--is most common SCA worldwide. MJD/SCA3 is characterized classically by progressive variable other motor non-motor symptoms. Sleep common, include rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD), restless legs syndrome (RLS), insomnia,...
To verify if sleep disorders and different starting time to school have impaired motor skills in 5-year-old children.Cross-sectional design consisting of 132 children with 136 normal controls the public city São Paulo. The group was identified based on a questionnaire, tests for global coordination, fine perceptual-motor static dynamic balance were applied all children.In test, more specifically sharpened Romberg (Tandem) 34% boys from study group, who studied morning, failed test (p <...
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a very important and prevalent disease, which associated with poor quality of life in many patients. Treatments for OSAS include surgery, Continuos Positive Air way Pressure, an intraoral mandibular repositioner (IOMR), but the tendency centers to emphasize index, neglecting as treatment outcome. OBJECTIVE: To verify what extent IOMR improves patient's life. METHOD: Eleven male patients aged 34 63 years (mean=49) mild moderate were...
To report two female patients with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) related to breast cancer that presented rapid eye movement-sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and improved sleep symptoms immunotherapy. The were evaluated through clinical scale polysomnography before after therapy intravenous immunoglobulin. RBD was successfully treated immunotherapy in both patients. Score on the screening questionnaire dropped from 10 1 or 0, allied normalization of polysomnographic findings. A...
