Abstract

Obesity is a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in adults. However, the prevalence of OSAHS in children is not clear, and the relationship between obesity and OSAHS remains controversial. Obese children were recruited from the endocrinology, respiratory, and ear, nose, and throat clinics. Weight-matched, age-matched, and sex-matched children were recruited as control subjects. Standard questionnaires were administered, and a standardized physical examination was carried out. Lateral neck roentgenography, sleep polysomnography, full blood count, and arterial blood gas analysis were also performed. Children with body mass index z-scores of > 1.96 were considered to be obese. An adenoidal/nasopharygeal ratio of > 0.67 was considered to constitute adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH). OSAHS was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) score of > 5 or obstructive apnea index (OAI) score of > 1. Ninety-nine obese children and 99 control subjects were recruited into the study. Obese patients had significantly higher AHI and OAI scores, and lower sleep efficiency and minimum arterial oxygen saturation (MinSao(2)) than control subjects. The prevalence of OSAHS was significantly higher in obese children with or...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
