The frequency of IgE-dependent sensitization to food and airborne allergens in the population of children and adolescents of north-eastern Poland in 1998-2012 and its relation to the age of the studied patients.

Introduction: The long-term observation of the incidence of IgE-dependent sensitization to environmental allergens (food and airborne allergens) of a specific population plays an important role in epidemiological studies.

Aim: Retrospective, comparative assessment of IgE-dependent sensitization to food and airborne allergens in the group of patients from the north-eastern region of Poland, in selected years (1998, 2003, 2008, 2012). Long-term assessment of the incidence of IgE-dependent sensitization depending on the age of the patients (1998-2012).

IgE-dependent sensitization to tropho- and aeroallergens with regard to age, sex and birth season of children and adolescents living in the north-eastern region of Poland.

Introduction: A small number of studies concern trophoallergens and aeroallergens sensitization in the developmental age population in Poland. Only a few studies describe the role of selected factors determining the frequency and type of IgE-dependent sensitization in this population.

Aim: To assess the rate of sensitization to chosen tropho- and aeroallergens in the group of sensitized patients living in the north-eastern region of Poland with regard to age, sex and birth season.

The prevalence of IgE-dependent sensitizations to selected trophoallergens and airborne allergens in the population of children and adolescents of the north-eastern region of Poland.

Introduction: Good evidence has been provided over the last three to four decades that the prevalence of allergic diseases has been increasing in many developed countries worldwide. Recent data suggest that this increase may now be levelling off.

Aim: Retrospective analysis of the prevalence of IgE-dependent sensitization and changes in selected environmental allergens in the population of children and adolescents in the north-eastern region of Poland in the years 1998-2012.

Helicobacter pylori seroprevalence in children with sleep-disordered breathing.

Objective: Chronic Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is considered to be a factor involved in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). This cross-sectional study examined the seroprevalence of HP in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in respect to OSAS severity and in reference to other common pediatric medical conditions.

Methods: Overnight polysomnography with pH-metry (PSG) was performed at a Sleep Laboratory (in the years 2008-2011).

Sleep-wake schedules in preschool children who snore.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare sleep-wake schedules between snoring and nonsnoring preschool age children.

Material And Methods: Daytime and nighttime sleep duration, daytime and nighttime symptoms were assessed in 34 children at preschool age who snore (5.38+/-1.
