Abstract Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is currently a public health problem of great importance. When misdiagnosed or improperly treated, it can lead to serious consequences on patients' quality of life. The gold standard treatment for cases of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, especial...
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the inter-relation between high sensitivity C-reactive protein and glycated hemoglobin in prediction of risk of obstructive sleep apnea. Methods We included all individuals participating in a check-up program at the Preventive Medicine Center of Hospital Israelita Albe...

Abstract Introduction: The key to successful treatment of OSAS is to individually tailor such treatment. Thus, it is very important to determine the severity of OSAS, its pattern, and the extent of collapse, by gender, age, and BMI. Objective: The objective of the study was to understand the characteri...

Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated to cardiovascular risk factors. However, the association between OSA and cardiovascular disease is still controversial. The objective of the present study was to verify the association between OSA and myocardial infarction (MI). This is a systema...
Pediatric sleep medicine has shown a considerable development during the last decades; however, sleep disorders epidemiology is varied and limited, mainly by the various definitions used. This articucle refers to prevalence data obtained by studies that include medical history, questionnaires and/or slee...

The presence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in pediatric population has been associated with several and relevant health problems. Unfortunatly, most of SDB cases remain under diagnosed due to diferent factors incluiding lack of available and good diagnostic tools. Sleep questionnaires have emerged ...
The progress of the obesity epidemic in children and adolescents and its close relationship with sleep and their comorbidities are a reason for growing concern. In this articule we review the epidemiology, prenantal, and postnatal risk factors of obesity, and associated comorbidities, such as: metabolic ...
