Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in craniofacial structures and obesity in Caucasian and Chinese patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Richard W. W. Lee,Sivabalan Vasudavan,David S.C. Hui,Tania Prvan,Peter Petocz,M. Ali Darendeliler,Peter A. Cistulli +6 more
TL;DR: For the same degree of OSA severity, Caucasians were more overweight, whereas Chinese exhibited more craniofacial bony restriction, and these findings remained after correction for differences in body height.

C-reactive Protein, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and Cognitive Dysfunction in School-aged Children
David Gozal,Valerie McLaughlin Crabtree,Oscar Sans Capdevila,Lisa A. Witcher,Leila Kheirandish-Gozal +4 more
TL;DR: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels are higher in children with OSA, and particularly in those who develop neurocognitive deficits, suggesting that the magnitude of the inflammatory responses elicited by OSA is a major determinant of increased risk for neuroc cognitive dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
5-Hydroxytryptamine-2 antagonist increases human slow wave sleep.
TL;DR: The finding that a serotonin antagonist changed the architecture of sleep without producing insomnia is of fundamental importance and calls for a re-examination of traditional theories of sleep control which assign a facilitatory role to serotonin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous stimulation of slow-wave sleep and growth hormone secretion by gamma-hydroxybutyrate in normal young Men.
E. Van Cauter,Laurence Plat,Martin B. Scharf,Rachel Leproult,S. Cespedes,Mireille L’Hermite-Balériaux,Georges Copinschi +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that pharmacological agents that reliably stimulate SW sleep, such as GHB, may represent a novel class of powerful GH secretagogues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of sleep deprivation on human immune functions.
TL;DR: The effect of 40 h of wakefulness on a variety of immunological parameters in the peripheral blood from 10 normal male subjects was studied and altered patterns in immune functions occurred independently of the Cortisol circadian rhythm.
