Mucosal Inflammation in Children With OSA
Objectives: Variability of clinical phenotypes in childhood obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has prompted research for biomarkers to identify patients at risk of developing OSA-related complications. Upper airway inflammation is documented in children with OSA. Whether it is related to end-organ morbidities and systemic inflammation is under-explored. The primary objectives of …
Microbiome and Metabolomics Profiling in Children With OSA
Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) exhibits variable susceptibility to end-organ morbidities. Previous studies suggest that physiological sequelae in individuals with OSA promote changes in microbiome, which also interact with metabolic and inflammatory mediators. Therefore, microbiome and metabolomic profiling could potentially reveal the pathological processes underlying OSA. The primary objectives of …
