Two main types of sleep-related breathing disorders occur in patients with congestive heart failure: obstructive sleep apnoea and Cheyne–Stokes respiration with central apnoeas. Obstructive sleep apnoea is characterized by recurring upper airway collapse with ongoing respiratory effort during sleep, causing repetitive surges of negative intrathoracic pressure, arousals, and oxygen desaturations...

OBJECTIVE: To review medical literature related to apnea of prematurity. SOURCES: Extensive literature search and clinical practice-oriented concepts. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS: Apnea is one of the most common respiratory disorders in the neonatal period. Immaturity of the central nervous system is associated with instability of respiration. Therefore, apnea manifests itself in other systems, cau...

Reflux laryngitis in infants may be involved not only in laryngeal disorders, but also in disorders of cardiorespiratory control through its impact on laryngeal function. Our objective was to study the effect of reflux laryngitis on non-nutritive swallowing (NNS) and NNS-breathing coordination. Two groups of six newborn lambs, randomized into laryngitis and control groups, were surgically instr...

Copper is a trace element present in all tissues and is required for cellular respiration, peptide amidation, neurotransmitter biosynthesis, pigment formation, and connective tissue strength. Copper is a cofactor for numerous enzymes and plays an important role in central nervous system development; low concentrations of copper may result in incomplete development, whereas excess copper maybe i...
