Reseña del editor:

Presenting exhaustive research on the breathing patterns and behaviors during sleep in children, this comprehensive reference covers the physiology of sleep development and breathing rhythms, the normal and abnormal maturation of sleep from childhood through adolescence, the effects of diseases and disorders on children during sleep, and treatment and management for better sleep-seeking to improve the health of children and adults.
Utilizes a developmental approach from the perspectives of biology and physiology to reevaluate the significance of sleep behavior in children's health and as a nascent point for adult diseases!
Written by an international roster of nearly 60 experts who investigate the causal relationships between sleep, breathing, and health conditions, Sleep and Breathing in Children

highlights the differences in sleep-wake rhythms between children and adults

analyzes how sleep patterns may influence growth, development, behavior, and intellectual performance in the formative stages

details how to interpret the ontogenesis of neonatal and infant electroencephalograms

explores the potential of causal relationships between sleep disorders in childhood and adulthood, including possibilities for preventive measures

discusses the effects of growth and sex hormones on sleep behavior and as treatment for sleep problems

presents a basic overview of the circadian cycle in children

describes the neural structures involved in autonomic and respiratory regulation

narrates the development of peripheral and central chemoreceptor functions

details the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnoses for narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

reveals how children with neurological, behavioral, and psychiatric disorders are affected in sleep

and much more!
Highlights risk factors, symptoms, and preventive measures for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sleep Apnea
With over 3700 literature references, tables, drawings, photographs, and x-rays, Sleep and Breathing in Children is an invaluable aid to pediatric pulmonologists, neurologists, psychiatrists; sleep medicine specialists; and fellows in these disciplines.
