This book describes control of ventilation during sleep in both health and disease states. The topics are presented in a fashion that can be easily comprehended with many figures to illustrate complex concepts. Thus, a wide range of topics, starting from the site of normal respiratory rhythm generation to chemoreceptor control of sleep apnea, description of the apneic threshold, pathophysiology of upper airway closure, novel techniques to measure control of breathing, effect of cerebral blood flow on breathing, effect of opioids on ventilation, effect of heart failure on ventilation, genetic aspects of breathing disorders, age and gender differences, and various therapies are discussed. Key Features• Helps to bridge the gap between straight forward physiology and clinical practice through a range of topics and use of case vignettes• Explores various aspects of clinical management and control which is beneficial to sleep clinicians, respiratory physiologists, intensivists, trainees, and researchers.• Distills complex concepts into understandable language and figures, providing helping resource to the clinicians, that transforms a dry topic vis a viz control of ventilation into an exciting understandable ‘clinician'language.

Pleuropulmonary infections are among the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This issue of the European Respiratory Monograph considers pleuropulmonary infections from both medical and surgical angles.

Infants and children spend one- to two-thirds of their life asleep. Despite this, very little attention has been paid to understanding both normal sleep and sleep-related abnormalities during child development. There are profound changes in sleep and circadian rhythm during growth and maturation. Sleep is particularly important in children, due to

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 Childrenhighlights 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 ApneaWith 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.
