Sleep is essential for optimal health. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)
and Sleep Research Society (SRS) developed a consensus recommendation for the amount
of sleep needed to promote optimal health in adults, using a modified RAND ...
Study Objective:Esophageal manometry (Pes) is the gold standard to detect repetitive episodes of increased
respiratory effort followed by arousal (RERAs). Because RERAs are not included in
the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), we often refer patients with ...
Study Objective:Recent studies report a link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, low vitamin
D levels, and high parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations. The aim of the current
study is to evaluate the effect of 7-night continuous positive ...
Study Objectives:Studies examining the longitudinal association of untreated obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) with diabetes in population samples are limited. This study therefore examined
the relationship between previously undiagnosed OSA with incident ...
Study Objectives:One-third of deployed military personnel will be diagnosed with insomnia, placing
them at high risk for comorbid depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and
medical conditions. The disruption of trophic factors has been ...
Study Objectives:Sleep can affect quality of life (QOL). We examined the association between self-reported
sleep time and QOL independent of perceived health status and depressive disorder
using the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) and a visual analog scale (...
Study Objectives:To assess whether daytime naps negatively impact nocturnal sleep.Design:Longitudinal, prospective cohort design.Participants:161 pregnant women recruited and evaluated in early gestation (10–20 weeks).Measurements and Results:Daily sleep ...
Study Objectives:Although a substantial number of pregnant women report symptoms of insomnia, few studies
have used a validated instrument to determine the prevalence in early gestation. Identification
of insomnia in pregnancy is vital given the strong ...
Objective:Sleep problems are a common non-motor complication of Parkinson disease (PD), and
patients with essential tremor (ET) share a number of motor and non-motor features
of PD. To clarify the relationship between these disorders, we evaluated the ...
Background:Healthcare systems are attempting to reduce hospital readmissions due to chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:A retrospective study of a quality improvement (QI) program performed at a single
center whose multifaceted ...
Study Objectives:Sleep duration and quality are associated with negative neuropsychological and psychosocial
outcomes in children and adolescents. However, community awareness of this is low
and sleep education programs in schools are attempting to ...
There is growing evidence that fluid accumulation in the neck contributes to the pathogenesis
of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We describe a case of catheter-related superior
v ena cava (SVC) thrombosis revealed by rapid onset of typical symptoms of OSA. ...
