Association between sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
We performed a systematic review of the literature to assess the association between sleep apnea and bone metabolism diseases including osteoporosis in adult population. Results from clinical trials suggest th...

Epigenomic profiling in visceral white adipose tissue of offspring of mice exposed to late gestational sleep fragmentation
Sleep fragmentation during late gestation (LG-SF) is one of the major perturbations associated with sleep apnea and other sleep disorders during pregnancy. We have previously shown that LG-SF induces metabolic...

Effects of adenotonsillectomy on plasma inflammatory biomarkers in obese children with obstructive sleep apnea: A community-based study
Obesity and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) are highly prevalent and frequently overlap** conditions in children that lead to systemic inflammation, the latter being implicated in the various end-orga...

Effect of resveratrol on visceral white adipose tissue inflammation and insulin sensitivity in a mouse model of sleep apnea
Sleep fragmentation (SF) increases food intake and the risk of obesity, and recruits macrophages to visceral white adipose tissue (VWAT) promoting tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Administration of ...

Sleep fragmentation promotes NADPH oxidase 2-mediated adipose tissue inflammation leading to insulin resistance in mice
Short sleep has been implicated in higher risk of obesity in humans, and is associated with insulin resistance. However, the effects of fragmented sleep (SF) rather than curtailed sleep on glucose homeostasis ...

Effects of late gestational high-fat diet on body weight, metabolic regulation and adipokine expression in offspring
Gestational exposures such as dietary changes can alter offspring phenotype through epigenetic modifications and promote increased risk for specific diseases, such as metabolic syndrome. We hypothesized that h...

The ventilatory response to hypoxia
We do not challenge the 'classic' theory of peripheral-chemoreceptor-mediated HVR. However, this offers no insight into the mediators of the time-domain components of HVR, such as ventilatory short-term potent...

Propofol Does Not Modify the Hemodynamic Status of Children with Intracardiac Shunts Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization
Immobility and cardiovascular stability are required for cardiac catheterization. Pediatric patients need a type of sedation that also allows spontaneous ventilation without supplemental oxygen. Propofol has b...

Arteriovenous haemangioma of the joint capsule of the knee in a child
We report a rare case of arteriovenous haemangioma of the knee joint in a girl. This treatable entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of nonspecific recurrent knee swelling or pain in children.
