Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction resulting in oxygen desaturations and sleep disruption. OSAS is associated with an augmented risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the association between OSAS and cardiovascular dysfunction. Low-grade systemic inflammation may contribute to the development of the cardiovascular and metabolic diseases associated with OSAS. The purpose of this review is to summarize current evidence on the association between OSAS and markers of systemic inflammation.
Keywords: Inflammation, inflammatory markers, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from childhood to adulthood: from the past to the future
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the three leading causes of death worldwide, with a major prevalence in low- and middle-income countries, resulting in a high social and economic cost. It is a heterogeneous respiratory disease, treatable and preventable, that causes persistent and often progressive airway obstruction in ...read more
