Abstract
Objective.The physiological, hormonal and biomechanical changes during pregnancy may trigger sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in pregnant women. Pregnancy-related sleep disorders may associate with adverse fetal and maternal outcomes including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth and gestational hypertension. Most of the screening and diagnostic studies that explore SDB during pregnancy were based on questionnaires which are inherently limited in providing definitive conclusions. The current gold standard in diagnostics is overnight polysomnography (PSG) involving the comprehensive measurements of physiological changes during sleep. However, applying the overnight laboratory PSG on pregnant women is not practical due to a number of challenges such as patient inconvenience, unnatural sleep dynamics, and expenses due to highly trained personnel and technology. Parallel to the progress in wearable sensors and portable electronics, home sleep monitoring devices became indispensable tools to record the sleep signals of pregnant women at her own sleep environment. This article reviews the application of portable sleep monitoring devices in pregnancy with particular emphasis on estimating the perinatal outcomes.Approach.The advantages and disadvantages of home based sleep monitoring systems compared to subjective sleep questionnaires and overnight PSG for pregnant women were evaluated.Main Results.An overview on the efficiency of the application of home sleep monitoring in terms of accuracy and specificity were presented for particular fetal and maternal outcomes.Significance.Based on our review, more homogenous and comparable research is needed to produce conclusive results with home based sleep monitoring systems to study the epidemiology of SDB in pregnancy and its impact on maternal and neonatal health.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pregnancy rhinitis (PR) is a relatively common condition with a prevalence of 20%. We aimed to identify the prevalence and risk factors of the PR. A prospective cohort study was conducted at the Obstetric and Gyenocology and Otolaryngology Departments in the Tikrit General Hospital, Tikrit City, Iraq. The study covered 12 months (September 2019–September 2020). Pregnant women were divided into two groups; with and without PR. Data regarding the age, body mass index (BMI), occupation, smoking, clinical features, parity, gestational age, and sex of the baby were recorded. Visual analog scale (VAS) and nasal-obstructive-symptom-evaluation (NOSE) scale were used for the evaluation of the nasal obstruction.
Results
The prevalence of the PR was 11.65% (110/944 pregnant women). Rhinorrhea was the commonest associated feature with nasal obstruction of the PR (n = 48, 43.6%). Ninety percent of the patients were in the age group < 35 years. The majority of the subjects were housewives (n = 551, 58.4%), in the second trimester (n = 456, 48.3%), and in the parity group 0–2 (n = 511, 54.1%). The female baby was found in 56.5% of the patients (n = 533). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups: women with and without PR regarding the BMI and gestational age (first trimester) (P value = 0.001). No history of current smoking was found in all women.
Conclusion
The prevalence of PR was 11.65% and was mostly seen in the first trimester. High BMI and pregnant women in the first trimester were considered risk factors for the PR.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a spectrum of abnormal respiratory events including habitual snoring and increased upper airway resistance and obstructive episodes. The uncertainties concerning the incidence and recognition of SDB during pregnancy and the importance of the issue for fetal and maternal health prompted us to screen pregnant women for SDB. The study included 312 women in the third trimester of pregnancy aged 17-46 of whom 51 were preselected, based on the results of SDB questionnaires, for a nighttime home screening using a portable ApneaLink Air device. We found that single or multiple episodes of apnea were present in 35 (69%) women. The mean apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) was 1.8 ± 1.8 episodes/h of sleep, which did not exceed the prevalence in the general young-adult female population. However, we noticed a substantial number of inspiratory airflow limitation (IFL) episodes most often accompanied by snoring and more frequent in pregnant women with a greater weight gain. IFLs, although not fulfilling the quantifiable criteria of hypopnea, raise the possibility of hardly recognizable oxygenation and cardiovascular disturbances in pregnancy, reflected in an increased risk index for SDB. We conclude that pregnancy encompasses the risk of revealing or intensifying pre-existing SDB which can jeopardize maternal and fetal health. The risk particularly applies to overweight women. We submit that women in late pregnancy should be carefully screened for possible SDB.

Abstract
Estrogen is an important hormone for health in both genders. It is indispensable to glucose homeostasis, immune robustness, bone health, cardiovascular health, and neural functions. The main way that estrogen acts in the cells is through estrogen receptors (ERs). The presence of specific estrogen receptors is required for estrogen to have its characteristic ubiquitous action in almost all tissues. Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are the major isoforms of estrogen that are highly specific in humans and enable selective hormonal actions in different tissues. This article reviews some of the observed estrogen actions and effects in different tissues and cells through these specific receptors. This ubiquitous, almost ordinary hormone may reveal itself as a significant factor that helped us to better understand the complexity of the human immune system response against respiratory infections, including the COVID-19, and especially in the current state of this painful pandemic.

Abstract
Background: Emedastine difumarate is a second-generation antihistamine that is more effective for nasal congestion than first-generation antihistamines. The oral form of emedastine is used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). However, data characterizing emedastine transfer across the placenta and excretion into breast milk are limited. In this case report, we assessed emedastine concentrations in maternal and neonatal blood, cord blood, and breast milk. Materials and Methods: After the patient provided informed consent, emedastine concentrations in maternal serum, breast milk, cord blood, and neonatal serum were measured while the mother was taking oral emedastine 2 mg once daily. Case Report: A 39-year-old woman with AR received emedastine during pregnancy and lactation. Her female infant was born at 37 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 2,820 g. Emedastine concentrations in maternal serum at 11.5 and 19.0 hours after maternal dosing were 0.39 and 0.22 ng/mL, respectively. The emedastine concentration in cord blood (19.6 hours after maternal dosing) was 0.18 ng/mL. At 24 hours after delivery (44 hours after maternal dosing), emedastine was under the lower limit of quantification (<0.05 ng/mL) in the infant's serum. Emedastine concentrations in breast milk ranged from 0.06 to 0.44 ng/mL. Calculated infant doses through breast milk were much lower than the clinical dose of emedastine. The infant had normal developmental progress and no detectable drug-related adverse effects. Conclusions: Rates of emedastine transfer into placenta and breast milk were low. Further study is required to assess the safety of emedastine in fetuses and breastfed infants.

Braz J Otorhinolaryngol 2020; 88:505-510. [PMID: 32798199 PMCID: PMC9422359 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjorl.2020.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2020] [Revised: 06/20/2020] [Accepted: 06/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Pregnancy rhinitis is a common sex hormone-related otorhinolaryngological disorder. There are some epidemiological and physiological studies on pregnancy rhinitis, but histopathological and biomolecular changes have not been studied thoroughly. Objectives The receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2 are known for their roles in allergic rhinitis. On the other hand, activation of subclinical allergy has been suggested in the pathophysiology of pregnancy rhinitis. Therefore, we aimed to compare the physiological and gestational pattern of VPAC1 and VPAC2 expression in rat nasal mucosa. Methods Twenty adult Wister albino female rats were enrolled into the study. Two groups constituted as 10 control (group A) and 10 pregnant (group B) rats. They were fed ad libitum and sheltered at room temperature (22°±2 °C). The rats were sacrificed at the 20th day of gestation by intraperitoneal injection of 400 mg/kg Na-pentobarbitone. Then, 10 − 15 mL of blood was taken, and samples were reserved for the detection of serum estradiol and progesterone levels by ELISA test. The nasal septum was resected and divided in half for immunohistochemical analyses and real time polymerase chain reaction testing of VPAC1 and VPAC2. Results VPAC1 and VPAC2 were found to be in all layers of septal specimens, but the immunostaining of surface epithelium was more distinct in specimens of both groups. We demonstrated higher overall staining intensity in the pregnant group. PCR revealed significant increase in expression of VPAC1 (p = 0.023) and VPAC2 (p = 0.021) in pregnant group when compared with control group. In addition, we demonstrated upregulatory effect of estradiol and progesterone on the vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor expression. Conclusions Gestational up-regulation of nasal VPAC1 and VPAC2 was shown both by PCR and immunohistochemical analysis. These findings support the hypothesis that PR is caused by the activation of subclinical allergy that is present before pregnancy.

Abstract
This comprehensive practice parameter for allergic rhinitis (AR) and nonallergic rhinitis (NAR) provides updated guidance on diagnosis, assessment, selection of monotherapy and combination pharmacologic options, and allergen immunotherapy for AR. Newer information about local AR is reviewed. Cough is emphasized as a common symptom in both AR and NAR. Food allergy testing is not recommended in the routine evaluation of rhinitis. Intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) remain the preferred monotherapy for persistent AR, but additional studies support the additive benefit of combination treatment with INCS and intranasal antihistamines in both AR and NAR. Either intranasal antihistamines or INCS may be offered as first-line monotherapy for NAR. Montelukast should only be used for AR if there has been an inadequate response or intolerance to alternative therapies. Depot parenteral corticosteroids are not recommended for treatment of AR due to potential risks. While intranasal decongestants generally should be limited to short-term use to prevent rebound congestion, in limited circumstances, patients receiving regimens that include an INCS may be offered, in addition, an intranasal decongestant for up to 4 weeks. Neither acupuncture nor herbal products have adequate studies to support their use for AR. Oral decongestants should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy. Recommendations for use of subcutaneous and sublingual tablet allergen immunotherapy in AR are provided. Algorithms based on a combination of evidence and expert opinion are provided to guide in the selection of pharmacologic options for intermittent and persistent AR and NAR.

Abstract
This is an updated guideline for the diagnosis and management of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, first published in 2007. It was produced by the Standards of Care Committee of the British Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, using accredited methods. Allergic rhinitis is common and affects 10-15% of children and 26% of adults in the UK, it affects quality of life, school and work attendance, and is a risk factor for development of asthma. Allergic rhinitis is diagnosed by history and examination, supported by specific allergy tests. Topical nasal corticosteroids are the treatment of choice for moderate to severe disease. Combination therapy with intranasal corticosteroid plus intranasal antihistamine is more effective than either alone and provides second line treatment for those with rhinitis poorly controlled on monotherapy. Immunotherapy is highly effective when the specific allergen is the responsible driver for the symptoms. Treatment of rhinitis is associated with benefits for asthma. Non-allergic rhinitis also is a risk factor for the development of asthma and may be eosinophilic and steroid-responsive or neurogenic and non- inflammatory. Non-allergic rhinitis may be a presenting complaint for systemic disorders such as granulomatous or eosinophilic polyangiitis, and sarcoidoisis. Infective rhinitis can be caused by viruses, and less commonly by bacteria, fungi and protozoa.

Pathophysiological changes associated with sleep disordered breathing and supine sleep position in pregnancy. Sleep Med Rev 2019; 46:1-8.

Abstract
Sleep is a complex and active physiological process that if disrupted, can result in adverse outcomes both within and outside of pregnancy. Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) occurs in 10-32% of pregnancies. Substantial physiological changes occur during pregnancy that impact on maternal sleep, which typically deteriorates with advancing gestation. Pregnancy challenges maternal homeostatic regulation of many systems which effect maternal sleep, including the respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems. SDB can result from varying degrees of airway compromise and potentially cause systemic hypoxia. The hypoxia may be acute, intermittent or chronic in nature with complications dependant on the duration and the gestation at which the insult occurs. It is unlikely that this effect is mediated by a singular mechanistic pathway but results from a complex cascade of events across multiple maternal organ systems. Regardless of the etiology, both SDB and supine sleep position are associated with a variety of obstetric and perinatal complications including, pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, fetal growth restriction, poor neonatal condition at birth, stillbirth and neuro-psychiatric problems in offspring. Both maternal sleep position and sleep disordered breathing are potentially modifiable or treatable factors that if addressed have the potential to improve maternal and fetal outcomes. This narrative review summarizes the maternal and placental pathophysiological aberrations associated with sleep disordered breathing and supine sleep position in pregnancy.

Abstract
Key points Educational aims Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is very common during pregnancy, and is most likely explained by hormonal, physiological and physical changes. Maternal obesity, one of the major risk factors for SDB, together with physiological changes in pregnancy may predispose women to develop SDB. SDB has been associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. Thus, early identification, diagnosis and treatment of SDB are important in pregnancy. This article reviews the pregnancy-related changes affecting the severity of SDB, the epidemiology and the risk factors of SDB in pregnancy, the association of SDB with adverse pregnancy outcomes, and screening and management options specific for this population. Sleep disordered breathing should be sought and treated during #pregnancyhttp://ow.ly/U2UO3

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the pattern and severity of rhinitis in pregnancy and the impact rhinitis has on asthma control and quality of life (QoL) in pregnant women with asthma. METHODS Two hundred and eighteen non-smoking pregnant women with asthma were participants in a randomised controlled trial of exhaled nitric oxide guided treatment adjustment. Rhinitis was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) scored from 0 to 10 and classified as current (VAS > 2.5), moderate/severe versus mild (VAS > 6 vs <5), atopic versus non-atopic and pregnancy rhinitis. At baseline, women completed the 20-Item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT20), asthma-specific (AQLQ-M) QoL questionnaires and the Six-Item Short-Form State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6). Asthma control was assessed using the asthma control questionnaire (ACQ). Perinatal outcomes were collected after delivery. RESULTS Current rhinitis was present in 142 (65%) women including 45 (20%) women who developed pregnancy rhinitis. Women with current rhinitis had higher scores for ACQ (p = 0.004), SNOT20 (p < 0.0001) and AQLQ-M (p < 0.0001) compared to women with no rhinitis. Current rhinitis was associated with increased anxiety symptoms (p = 0.002), rhinitis severity was associated with higher ACQ score (p = 0.004) and atopic rhinitis was associated with poorer lung function (p = 0.037). Rhinitis symptom severity improved significantly during gestation (p < 0.0001). There was no impact on perinatal outcomes. Improved asthma control was associated with improvement in rhinitis. CONCLUSION Rhinitis in pregnant women with asthma is common and associated with poorer asthma control, sino-nasal and asthma-specific QoL impairment and anxiety. In the context of active asthma management there was significant improvement in rhinitis symptoms and severity as pregnancy progressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergic disorders have become a major public health concern worldwide. No Nigerian study has examined the epidemiology of allergic diseases among women. AIM To document the prevalence, risk factors and the changes in the symptoms of allergic disorders during pregnancy. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Cross-sectional study conducted at the booking and antenatal clinics of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital and Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Clinic of the Comprehensive Health Center, Oja Igbo, Ogbomoso, Nigeria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study enrolled 432 women from two public hospitals. Sociodemographic and clinical history were obtained and allergic disorders were diagnosed using ISAAC questionnaires. RESULTS The prevalence of wheezing, eczema and rhinitis in pregnancy are 7.5%, 4.0% and 5.8% respectively. The prevalence of wheezing and eczema was slightly higher among the pregnant in past 12 months. Wheeze worsened in 70% (18/26), improved in 15% (2/26), and stable in 15% (2/26). Eczema worsened in 50% (7/14), improved in 7.1% (1/14) and stable in 42.9% (6/14), while allergic rhinitis worsened in 50% (11/22), improved in 22.7% (5/22) and stabilized in 27.3 % (6/22). In multivariate analysis, the risk of allergic diseases in pregnancy was increase 2 times by low income earning (CI: 1.2 - 2.1, p = 0.002), low level education (OR = 0.6, CI: 0.3 - 0.9, p = 0.011) and by family history of asthma, OR-4.3, CI - 1.3 - 13.9, p = 0.015. Family history of asthma increase the chances of asthma by 18.7 times, CI-2.3 - 152.2, p = 0.006, while the odd of eczema was increased 9.1 times (CI-2.7 - 30.6, p<0.001) and 2.4 times (CI: 1.2 - 4.7, p = 0.008) by second hand home smoking and low-family income respectively. The risk of allergic rhinitis were raised 1.8 times by low family income (CI 1.1 - 2.8, p = 0.013) and 3.9 times by family history of rhinitis (OR = 3.9, CI 1.2 - 12.7, p = 0.024). CONCLUSION Prevalence of wheezing and eczema are higher in pregnancy probably due to exacerbation induced by pregnancy. Social and genetic factors are important risk factors for allergic disorders in pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal congestion that is not present before pregnancy represents a distinct clinical entity called pregnancy rhinitis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics of nasal physiology over the course of pregnancy. METHODS The study was conducted with 85 pregnant women and 26 nonpregnant controls. We measured nasal airway patency objectively via acoustic rhinometry (ARM) and anterior rhinomanometry (RMM) and subjectively via the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale in each trimester and compared the results to those of the controls. RESULTS The NOSE scores of control and pregnant women showed no difference (p = 0.866). Minimal cross-sectional area (MCA1; minimal cross sectional area at nasal valve and MCA2; minimal cross sectional area at the level where the head of inferior turbinate is placed) decreased significantly between the first and third trimesters: first trimester 0.37 cm(2), third trimester 0.31 cm(2). There was no difference between each trimester with regard to total nasal resistance. The correlation analysis between the NOSE score and both total volume and MCA1 in all patients showed no significance (r = -0.10, p = 0.318; r = -0.04, p = 0.654, respectively). CONCLUSION Pregnancy affects nasal physiology adversely and impairs nasal breathing in some women. However, based on the findings of this study, we concluded that this clinical entity may not be considered as a disease without complementary symptoms despite the presence of objective changes in nasal parameters.

Abstract
Rhinitis is normally defined by the symptoms of nasal congestion, postnasal drainage, rhinorrhea, and sneezing. It has been associated with various pathologic changes, but can occur in the absence of any inflammation. Thus, the diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation. There are no clear-cut criteria to distinguish when rhinitis becomes chronic, but in its chronic form, it can be complex. Chronic forms of rhinitis that occur in the absence of any detectable specific IgE against relevant aeroallergens in its broadest sense can be called chronic nonallergic rhinitis. This review will concentrate on chronic nonallergic rhinitis in its various forms, discussing the epidemiology, underlying mechanisms, and its therapy.

Abstract
Pregnant women undergo profound anatomical and physiological changes so that they can cope with the increased physical and metabolic demands of their pregnancies. The cardiovascular, respiratory, haematological, renal, gastrointestinal and endocrine systems all undergo important physiological alterations and adaptations needed to allow development of the fetus and to allow the mother and fetus to survive the demands of childbirth. Such alterations in anatomy and physiology may cause difficulties in interpreting signs, symptoms, and biochemical investigations, making the clinical assessment of a pregnant woman inevitably confusing but challenging. Understanding these changes is important for every practicing obstetrician, as the pathological deviations from the normal physiological alterations may not be clear-cut until an adverse outcome has resulted. Only with a sound knowledge of the physiology and anatomy changes can the care of an obstetric parturient be safely optimized for a better maternal and fetal outcome.
