  • Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Children and Adolescents Across the Weight Spectrum
    Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Children and Adolescents across the Weight Spectrum by Lilach Kamer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Lilach Kamer 2011 Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Children and Adolescents across the Weight Spectrum. Lilach Kamer Master of Science Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto 2011 Abstract A relationship between overweight and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) has been suggested in the adult population, and to a limited extent in the pediatric population. Daytime sleepiness can interfere with various components of daytime function. In light of the increase in the rates of pediatric overweight and obesity, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between weight and EDS in a pediatric population. Using a retrospective approach, data collected in a pediatric sleep clinic was analyzed. Objective measures of EDS were correlated with age, gender, body mass index percentile, and overnight sleep test recording variables. In males and in all children under the age of 13 years old, EDS was more common in those weighing above the normal range, EDS was present particularly during mid-morning hours. Additionally, weight above the normal range correlated with evidence of EDS after adjusting for measures of sleep pathologies. - ii - Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Colin Shapiro for the opportunity to work and learn at the Youthdale Child and Adolescent Sleep Center, and for patiently developing my budding research skills. To the staff at the Youthdale Child and Adolescent Sleep Center, especially Dragana Jovanovic and Inna Voloh, for introducing me into the intricate world of pediatric sleep testing as well as Dora Zalai and Rose Lata for their patience, advice, dedication and willingness to accommodate my research needs…and for smiling while they do this.

  • The Comfort Lift Pillow Company Introduces
    Positional Therapy Pillows LLC ComfyLiftBed™ “The Positional Therapy Pillow Experts”™ Instruction Information The head-wedge elevation was uniquely designed with a counter-foot-wedge that holds the child in place all night. The Toddler Pillow/Bed is designed with the growing child in mind, using a foot-adjusting feature to account for growth of the child. This feature makes the Toddler Bed/mattress a long-term form of treatment for children’s sleep breathing - related disorders. Warning: The ComfyLiftBed™ mattress is intended only for children 1 yr and older! European & Am. Pediatric Society Recommendations: *Waterproof Matt and Cotton Mattress Covers ♦5.1.3. Lifestyle Changes in Children and Included*. Adolescents It is likely therefore that adolescents, -FDA registration# 3008009633 like -Texas Dept. of Health Medical Device adults, may benefit from the left lateral decubitus sleeping position with elevation of the head of the License.# 1000208 bed. The bed/mattress is designed to have an elevated head rest that raises the upper body of the child. This elevation will keep stomach acid out of the esophagus, as well as assist in breathing. We have also included a 3" or 5” (adolescent) wedge to prop the top head portion of the pillow up higher in cases where children have more severe symptoms or require higher elevation. Since children tend to roll off of the side of the mattress, a side barrier on each side of the mattress creating a concave design that will cradle the child in the center of the mattress. Many sleepers will slide down the mattress as well. To correct this, foot rests have been added.
