Article Synopsis
- Sleep-related movement disorders (SRMDs) like restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) are common in children but often go unrecognized; a new disorder called restless sleep disorder (RSD) has also been identified.
- The causes of these disorders include genetic factors, problems with dopamine function, and iron deficiency, with RLS and RSD possibly sharing similar mechanisms.
- Effective treatments are available, including iron therapy and specific medications, but further research is necessary to better understand RSD and improve care for affected children.
Article Synopsis
- * A review of 58 guidelines on ID revealed that only a small number addressed RLS and ADHD, with inconsistent recommendations for using ferritin as a biomarker and varying cutoff values.
- * The study highlights the need for a unified approach to understand and assess iron status and inflammation in relation to these disorders, as current guidelines lack clarity and applicability in clinical practice.
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in infants is treated with low flow oxygen via nasal cannula (NC), CPAP (continous positive airway pressure), or surgery. Literature supports the use of high flow NC (HFNC) in children in the outpatient setting, however there is limited data on the use of HFNC in infants.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare HFNC and low-flow oxygen as treatments for OSA in infants.
Article Synopsis
- There is a growing need for practical guidelines for clinicians on using melatonin to treat insomnia in children with autism and neurogenetic disorders, as current data is insufficient.
- The International Pediatric Sleep Association (IPSA) formed a task force to review clinical trial literature on melatonin from 2012 onward.
- This publication summarizes evidence on melatonin's effectiveness, possible side effects, and important considerations for its use in this specific population.
