Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses one of the major issues of modern paediatrics: the relationship between sleep and breathing in infants. The content of this book is based on author's personal experience, as well as on up-to-date findings in the field. The necessity to present most important knowledge on sleep physiology, sleep structure in infants, mechanisms supporting respiration in the normal infants, functional changes in certain sleep stages, as well as on most characteristic forms of breathing disturbances in sleep in the infants was taken into consideration. Chronobiological aspects of functional respiratory characteristics have been tackled. Much attention has been paid to the quality of infant behaviour associated with sleep disturbances and breathing disturbances in sleep, relationship between micro environmental characteristics and sleep impairments. Possible association between infant apnoea and sudden infant death syndrome is considered; mechanisms of infant' snoring in sleep and its relation to the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is addressed; sleep-related breathing disturbances occurring against a background of chronic broncho-pulmonary diseases are discussed. breathing disturbances and to their treatment are considered.

Book excerpt: The Tired Child: How Sleep and Sleep Breathing Can Change Your Child's Life Kids across the United States are experiencing a sleep crisis. Sometimes, they can't sleep because of anxiety or too much screen time. But other times, the problem runs deeper. For some children, the lack of high-quality, restful sleep is due to sleep-disordered breathing. When children can't breathe properly, they can't sleep. And a lack of sleep negatively impacts children's healthy development and puts them in crisis. The Tired Child provides parents and healthcare providers with a comprehensive look at pediatric sleep-disordered breathing. It dives into why sleep is so important and shares how to get kids the proper treatment if they have a sleep condition, like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Part three then concisely examines the humoral and developmental aspects of sleep, namely the emerging role of metabolic tissue and the intestinal microbiota in regulation. Parts four, five, and six discuss diagnoses methods, techniques in sleep measurement, and specific aspects of pharmacotherapy and ventilator support for the pediatric patient. Various sleep disorders are explored in part seven, followed by an in-depth analysis of obstructive sleep apnea in part eight.

Download or read book SIDS Sudden Infant and Early Childhood Death written by Roger W. Byard and published by . This book was released on 2018-04 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers aspects of sudden infant and early childhood death, ranging from issues with parental grief, to the most recent theories of brainstem neurotransmitters. It also deals with the changes that have occurred over time with the definitions of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), SUDI (sudden unexpected death in infancy) and SUDIC (sudden unexpected death in childhood). The text will be indispensable for SIDS researchers, SIDS organisations, paediatric pathologists, forensic pathologists, paediatricians and families, in addition to residents in training programs that involve paediatrics. It will also be of use to other physicians, lawyers and law enforcement officials who deal with these cases, and should be a useful addition to all medical examiner/forensic, paediatric and pathology departments, hospital and university libraries on a global scale. Given the marked changes that have occurred in the epidemiology and understanding of SIDS and sudden death in the very young over the past decade, a text such as this is very timely and is also urgently needed.
