Abnormal sleeping ventilatory pattern in infants of substance-abusing mothers

American Journal of Diseases of Children

Abstract

Infants born to opiate-abusing mothers have a decreased ventilatory response to carbon dioxide and a five to ten times increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). These abnormalities of ventilatory control may be associated with abnormal sleeping ventilatory patterns. Therefore, 28 overnight pneumograms (respiratory pattern recording and electrocardiogram) were obtained from 27 infants of substance-abusing mothers (ISAM) (five opiate, seven phencyclidine hydrochloride, three cocaine, and 12 polydrug abusers) and compared with pneumograms from 43 control infants. Pneumograms were quantitated for total sleep time, greatest duration of apnea, total duration of apnea greater than or equal to 6 s, periodic breathing, and mean heart and respiratory rates. The ISAM had a longer total sleep time, greater durations of apnea, a higher total duration of apneas greater than or equal to 6 s, more periodic breathing, a higher mean respiratory rate, and a lower mean heart rate. Thirty-two percent of pneumograms from ISAM were abnormal compared with 9.3% of the control pneumograms. We conclude that ISAM have abnormal sleeping ventilatory patterns that may be related to their increased SIDS risk.

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.
