Children with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) can present with a range of symptoms, from simple snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with secondary growth impairment, neurocognitive defects and sometimes cardiovascular sequelae that rearely lead to death. The most common cause of SDB in children is adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy. The most common treatment for children with SDB not caused by malformations or illness is surgery, in the first place--adenotonsillectomy. We are presenting the case of the 5-year-old boy with OSA in whom the recent diagnostic and therapeutic approach was performed, along with treatment outcome following the surgery and after the 6-month follow-up.

Sleep and circadian dysfunction are common nonmotor symptoms in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Sleep and circadian dysfunction usually have a significant negative impact on quality of life and may also serve as markers to identify patients in the preclinical stage of PD. Sleep disturbances have different types in PD such as insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorders, restless legs syndrome, and sleep-disordered breathing.

Deep-learning models have shown promise in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions. Previous studies have primarily focused on specific anatomical regions, overlooking tumors occurring throughout the body with highly heterogeneous whole-body backgrounds. Using neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) as an example, this study developed highly accurate MRI-based deep-learning models for the early automated screening of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) against complex whole-body background.

There is a high prevalence of sleep behaviour disorders, as well as sleep disordered breathing (SDB), in individuals living with sickle cell disease (SCD). SDB has been systematically reviewed; therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis focused on sleep behaviour. The comprehensive literature search, following PRISMA reporting guidelines, included all languages, conference proceedings and published theses from inception through February 2022.

Non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is a chronic progressive lung disease that is increasing in incidence. Host genetic factors are associated with NTM-PD susceptibility. However, the heritability of NTM-PD is not well understood.

Purpose: Children with achondroplasia (ACH) are at risk for sudden death in infancy due to sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and foramen magnum stenosis (FMS). Sleep studies and neuroimaging are performed in infants with ACH, but interpretation of infant studies is challenging. We sought to describe baseline data on polysomnography (PSG) indices in infants with achondroplasia as well as effects of age and surgery on these parameters.
