Journal ArticleDOI

Rosemary S.C. Horne,Joel S.C. Yang,Lisa M. Walter,Heidi Louise Richardson,Denise M. O'Driscoll,Alison M. Foster,Shi Wong,Michelle L. Ng,Farhat Bashir,Ruth Patterson,Gillian M. Nixon,Gillian M. Nixon,Damien Jolley,Adrian M. Walker,Vicki Anderson,John Trinder,Margot J Davey +16 more
TL;DR: It is found that SDB, regardless of the severity, was associated with increased BP during sleep and wake compared with nonsnoring control children, and the importance of considering the cardiovascular effects of SDB of any severity in children is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep-disordered breathing in preschool children is associated with behavioral, but not cognitive, impairments.
Angela Ranee Jackman,Sarah N. Biggs,Lisa M. Walter,Upeka Shamithri Embuldeniya,Margot J Davey,Margot J Davey,Gillian M. Nixon,Gillian M. Nixon,Vicki Anderson,John Trinder,Rosemary S.C. Horne +10 more
TL;DR: SDB of any severity was associated with poorer behavior but not cognitive performance and the lack of significant cognitive impairment in this age group may have identified a "window of opportunity" where early treatment may prevent deficits arising later in childhood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure regulation, autonomic control and sleep disordered breathing in children
TL;DR: There is mounting evidence that the cardiovascular and autonomic consequences of SDB are not limited to those with OSA, but are also evident in children with PS, and the severity of disease and age of onset of autonomic consequence may be important guides for the treatment ofSDB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and fatigue in pediatric oncology: A review of the literature
Lisa M. Walter,Gillian M. Nixon,Margot J Davey,Margot J Davey,Peter Downie,Rosemary S.C. Horne +5 more
TL;DR: This review will explore the relationship between childhood cancer and associated sleep disorders, in the acute stage of diagnosis, during treatment and in the years following, and discuss the possible causes and the current treatment modalities used to treat sleep disorders in children with cancer, and in childhood cancer survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autonomic dysfunction in children with sleep disordered breathing
Lisa M. Walter,Lisa M. Walter,Gillian M. Nixon,Gillian M. Nixon,Margot J Davey,Margot J Davey,Vicki Anderson,Adrian M. Walker,Rosemary S.C. Horne +8 more
TL;DR: HRV was altered in 7–12-year-old children with SDB, which may signify an overall depression of autonomic tone, perhaps a consequence of their elevated blood pressure during sleep coupled with repeated exposure to SDB event-related cardiovascular disturbance.
