The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) symptoms in a clinical sample of children with congenital craniofacial malformations (CFM) followed at a tertiary medical center and non-selected for sleep problems. ⋯ Moraleda-Cibrián M; Edwards SP; Kasten SJ; Berger M; Buchman SR; O'Brien LM.

Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disease characterized by abnormal autonomic control of breathing resulting in hypoventilation. We report an infant girl with CCHS who presented with central sleep apnea, which was first demonstrated by polysomnography when the infant was 5 months old. She was heterozygous for the novel 590delG mutation of PHOX2B, which is classified as a non-polyalanine repeat mutation (NPARM). This mutation is considered to be associated with a relatively mild phenotype. ⋯ Amimoto Y; Okada K; Nakano H; Sasaki A; Hayasaka K; Odajima H. A case of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome with a novel mutation of the PHOX2B gene presenting as central sleep apnea.

Clinical Trial
Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea using pulse oximeter derived photoplethysmographic signals.
Increasing awareness of the high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its impact on health in conjunction with high cost, inconvenience, and short supply of in-lab polysomnography (PSG) has led to the development of more convenient, affordable, and accessible diagnostic devices. We evaluated the reliability and accuracy of a single-channel (finger pulse-oximetry) photoplethysmography (PPG)-based device for detection of OSA (Morpheus Ox). ⋯ Romem A; Romem A; Koldobskiy D; Scharf SM.
