Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess sleep and pulmonary function in asthmatic and control children. Forty children with well-controlled, stable asthma, and 34 controls (age range: 8.2 to 15.4 years) were monitored with wrist actigraphs and peak-flow meters for 3 consecutive days. In addition, asthma severity was assessed by subjective parental and self-rating scale and symptom checklist. Asthmatic children had poorer sleep quality in comparison to their controls, as manifested in lower percentages of quiet sleep (p < .05) and increased activity level during sleep (p < .05). As expected, asthmatic children had reduced morning peak expiratory flow measures (p < .01) and a higher evening-to-morning drop in peak expiratory flow (p < .005). Peak-flow measures were significantly correlated with subjective and objective sleep measures. In the asthmatic group, sleep measures were also correlated with subjective asthma severity indices and symptom checklists. We conclude that poorer sleep is associated with reduced pulmonary function. The reduced sleep quality, coupled with subjective reports of increased fatigue and reduced alertness found in asthmatic children, suggest that these children are at risk for developing neurobehavioral def...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
