Purpose: The expression of the respiratory events in OSA is influenced by different mechanisms. In particular, REM sleep can highly increase the occurrence of events in a subset of OSA patients, a condition dubbed REM-OSA (often defined as an AHI 2 times higher in REM than NREM sleep). However, a proper characterization of REM-OSA and its pathological sequelae is still inadequate, partly because of limitations in the current definitions.

Objective: The objective of this study is to characterise available clinical trial information for paediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and identify opportunities for future research to better treat children with this condition.

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of paediatric OSA clinical trials was conducted using the International Clinical Trials Registry. Criteria for inclusion included sleep apnea trials with participants < 18 years old and an interventional design.

Introduction: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemoglobinopathy characterized by the production of sickle hemoglobin, leading to red blood cells sickling and hemolysis in hypoxic conditions. The resulting acute and chronic endothelial inflammation leads to chronic organ damage. Respiratory manifestations in SCD usually start from childhood and represent the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Objective: Our study aimed to determine the clinical profile and pulmonary function of pediatric patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). We also characterized the stages of progression of the disease and determined their potential association with spirometry variables.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used data obtained from a review of medical records of all pediatric patients (0-18 years old) with DMD seen in a multidisciplinary neuromuscular clinic of a tertiary government hospital from August 2018 until March 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the prevalence and severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in acute ischemic stroke patients, finding that a significant majority exhibited some level of SDB.
  • Over two sleep evaluations, nearly 82% of patients had sleep apnea, with 12.5% classified as severe; however, follow-up showed improvement in sleep metrics.
  • Highlights include a reduction in arousal index scores and increased sleep efficiency and REM sleep duration over time, suggesting that SDB can improve after stroke with monitoring and possibly intervention.
