Sleep disorders in Latin-American children with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis and normal controls

BACKGROUND: Asthma and/or allergic rhinitis have been associated with sleep disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate sleep disorders in Latin-American children (4-10 years) from nine countries, with persistent asthma (A) and/or allergic rhinitis (AR) and in normal controls (C). METHODS: Parents from 454 C children and 700 A and/or AR children followed up in allergy reference clinics completed the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) which is a retrospective one-week questionnaire composed of 33 questions composed of seven subscales (bedtime resistance, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night wakings, parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing and daytime sleepiness). The total scale of CSHQ and the subscales were compared between groups C and A+AR, A (n=285) vs. AR (n=390), and between controlled A (CA, n=103) vs. partially controlled/uncontrolled A (UA, n=182). RESULTS: The comparison between C and A+AR showed no significant differences in age (6.7 years vs. 7.0 years, respectively), mean Body Mass Index and total scale of CSHQ (53.3 vs. 63.2, respectively) and the subscales were significantly higher in the A+AR group. Comparison between groups A and AR, except for sleep anxiety, showed significantly higher values for CSHQ total scale (66.9 vs. 61.0, respectively) and subscales for group A. The UA group showed significantly higher values for total CSHQ scale and subscales in comparison to CA (71.1 vs. 59.4, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Latin-American children with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis showed sleep disorders identified by the CSHQ when compared to normal controls. Despite being treated, asthma causes sleep impairment, especially when uncontrolled

Sleep-related disorders in Latin-American children with atopic dermatitis: A case control study.

BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) has been associated with impairment of sleep. The aim of this study was to evaluate sleep disorders in AD Latin-American children (4-10 years) from nine countries, and in normal controls (C). METHODS: Parents from 454 C and 340 AD children from referral clinics answered the Children Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), a one-week retrospective 33 questions survey under seven items (bedtime resistance, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night awakening, parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing and daytime sleepiness). Total CSHQ score and items were analysed in both C and AD groups. Spearman's correlation coefficient between SCORAD (Scoring atopic dermatitis), all subscales and total CSHQ were also obtained. RESULTS: C and AD groups were similar regarding age, however, significantly higher values for total CSHQ (62.2±16.1 vs 53.3±12.7, respectively) and items were observed among AD children in comparison to C, and they were higher among those with moderate (54.8%) or severe (4.3%) AD. Except for sleep duration (r=-0.02, p=0.698), there was a significant Spearman's correlation index for bedtime resistance (0.24, p<0.0001), sleep anxiety (0.29, p<0.0001), night awakening (0.36, p<0.0001), parasomnias (0.54, p<0.0001), sleep-disordered breathing (0.42, p<0.0001), daytime sleepiness (0.26, p<0.0001) and total CSHQ (0.46, p<0.0001). AD patients had significantly higher elevated body mass index. CONCLUSION: Latin-American children with AD have sleep disorders despite treatment, and those with moderate to severe forms had marked changes in CSHQ.

Resultados clínicos a cuatro años de los tratamientos con implantes dentales en pacientes parcial y totalmente desdentados / Clinical outcomes of implant treatments in totally and partially edentulous patients. A 4-year study

INTRODUCCIÓN: El objetivo del presente estudio era mostrar los resultados del tratamiento con implantes dentales utilizados en diversas situaciones clínicas. MÉTODOS: 232 pacientes con pérdidas dentales fueron tratados con 488 implantes Galimplant(R) sumergidos con conexión externa y superficie obtenida por arenado y grabado ácido. Los implantes fueron cargados después de un periodo de cicatrización de 3 meses. RESULTADOS: 138 pacientes fueron intervenidos con la técnica quirúrgica básica. En 94 pacientes, se realizaron técnicas complejas como la expansión ósea (14,2%), elevación del seno maxilar (12,9%), regeneración ósea guiada (10,3%) e injertos óseos (3,1%). Los hallazgos clínicos indican una supervivencia y éxito de los implantes del 93,5%. 31 implantes se perdieron durante el periodo de cicatrización y un implante se perdió por periimplantitis. Un total de 256 prótesis fueron realizadas. El 54,5% de las prótesis realizadas fueron coronas unitarias; el 31,2% puentes fijos y el 15,2% sobredentaduras. El periodo medio de seguimiento clínico ha sido de 54,4 meses. CONCLUSIONES: Este estudio indica que los implantes dentales pueden ser utilizados con éxito en el tratamiento de los pacientes con edentulismo parcial o total

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to report the outcome of treatment with dental implants used in different clinical situations. METHODS: 232 patients with tooth loss were treated with 488 Galimplant(R) submerged implants with external connection and surface obtained by sand-blasted and etched acid. Implants were loaded after a healing free-loading period of three months. RESULTS: 138 patients were treated by basic surgical techniques. In 94 patients advances surgical techniques were used, as bone expansion (14.2%), sinus lift (12.9%), guided bone regeneration (10.3%) and autologous grafts (3.1%). Clinical results indicate a survival and success rate of implants of 93.5%. 31 implants were lost during the healing period and one implant was lost by peri-implantitis. A total of 256 prostheses were realized. 54.5% were single crowns; 31.2% of implant-supported prostheses were fixed bridges and 15.2% were overdentures. The mean follow-up period were of 54.4 months. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicate that dental implants can be used with success in treatment of patients with total and partial tooth loss
