Pulse transit time respiratory swing as a diagnostic test for obstructive sleep apnoea in children—An observational study
BackgroundPulse transit time (PTT) has been identified as a potentially useful tool for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) due to its high sensitivity in detecting cortical arousals. However, its use in clinical practise has been disappoint...

Arginase and ceruloplasmin activity in the serum of patients with polysomnography-detected sleep bruxism
BackgroundArginase and ceruloplasmin are enzymes of redox balance involved in the metabolism of nitric oxide. Arginase competes with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) for L-arginine and hence plays a crucial role in the arginase/NOS balance of maintaini...
