Are lower airway or throat cultures predictive of sinus bacteriology in cystic fibrosis?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The present pilot study was performed to evaluate the HPA axis and ANS activity by measuring salivary cortisol and α-amylase diurnal trajectory and production, respectively, in mild or moderate-to-severe (MS) OSA-affected, but otherwise healthy, children. Moreover, a correlative analysis was performed betwee...
