Does cognitive-behavioural therapy improve sleep outcomes in individuals with traumatic brain injury: a scoping review.

Oct 29, 2020

Insomnia symptoms are common after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to treat sleep disturbances and insomnia (CBT-I) has been used to improve sleep outcomes. It is u...

Oct 26, 2020

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the Turkish reliability and validity of the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale in patients who have obstructive sleep apnea.The data of the study...

Prediction of obstructive sleep apnea: comparative performance of three screening instruments on the apnea-hypopnea index and the oxygen desaturation index.

Oct 26, 2020

To evaluate the performance of the NoSAS (neck, obesity, snoring, age, sex) score, the STOP-Bang (snoring, tiredness, observed apneas, blood pressure, body mass index, age, neck circumference, gende...

Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Oct 26, 2020

The objective was to assess the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We hypothesized a decrease in...

Pulmonary complications in trauma patients with obstructive sleep apnea undergoing pelvic or lower limb operation.

Oct 22, 2020

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly prevalent in the range of 2% to 24% in the US population. OSA is a well-described predictor of pulmonary complications after elective operation. Yet, data...

Obstructive sleep apnea in people with intellectual disabilities: adherence to and effect of CPAP.

Oct 22, 2020

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in people with intellectual disabilities (ID), but in practice continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is often deemed unfeasible. We investigated adherence ...

Real-Time, Intraoperative, Ultrasound-Assisted Transoral Robotic Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Oct 22, 2020

To investigate the lingual artery (LA) position in the tongue base through intraoperative ultrasound (IOU) imaging during transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and evaluate bleeding complications with or w...

[Prevalence and characteristics of obstructive sleep apneas according to severity].

Oct 15, 2020

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent condition. OSA is defined as very severe when the apneas/ hypopneas index (AHI) is greater than 60 events/hour. However, its prevalence remains uncertain. ...

White matter microstructural abnormalities in primary insomnia: A systematic review of diffusion tensor imaging studies.

Oct 15, 2020

Primary insomnia (PI), the most common sleep disorder, is primarily characterized by difficulties in initiating and maintaining sleep and deficits in daytime functioning. Study of white matter (WM) co...

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea have suppressed levels of soluble cytokine receptors involved in neurodegenerative disease, but normal levels with airways therapy.

Oct 12, 2020

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) results in systemic intermittent hypoxia. By one model, hypoxic stress signaling in OSA patients alters the levels of inflammatory soluble cytokines TNF and IL6, damages ...

Rats exposed to chronic alcohol display protracted insomnia and daytime sleepiness-like behavior during alcohol withdrawal.

Oct 12, 2020

Alcohol use disorder (AUD), a chronic brain disorder, is characterized by a multitude of symptoms, including insomnia, during withdrawal. Previously, we have shown that rats exposed to chronic alcohol...

Risk of Alcohol Use Disorders in Patients with Insomnia: A Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Study.

Oct 12, 2020

The aim of this study was to explore the risk of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in patients with insomnia.This was a population-based retrospective cohort study based on data from 2000 to 2013. Data fro...

Sleep-disordered breathing and the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Oct 08, 2020

Sleep-disordered breathing is highly prevalent in the elderly population. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) represents the most common sleep disorder among the adult and elderly population. Recently, OSA ...

Plasticity in corticomotor pathways linked to a jaw protrusion training task: Potential implications for management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Oct 05, 2020

This study investigated the effect of a repeated and standardized jaw protrusion training (JPT) task on corticomotor excitability as assessed by motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in masseter and tongue m...

Impact of obstructive sleep apnea on cardiopulmonary performance, endothelial dysfunction, and pulmonary hypertension during exercise.

Oct 05, 2020

OSA has been associated with reduced exercise capacity. Endothelial dysfunction and exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension (ePH) may be mediators of this impairment. We hypothesized that OSA severity...

Oct 05, 2020

Sleep disorders are common problems among all age groups. If sleep problems detected in childhood are not resolved successfully, they become sleep disorders and a chronic state. In this study, we aime...

Oct 01, 2020

Repetitive negative thinking (RNT), i.e., worry, rumination, and transdiagnostic repetitive thinking, is thought to exacerbate and perpetuate insomnia in cognitive models. Moreover, RNT is a longitudi...
