to investigate excessive daytime sleepiness prevalence among nursing technicians and the association with sleep quality and memory....
a cross-sectional, inferential study, carried out in a hospital unit in the state of Goiás between December 2020 and January 2021. Assessments were carried out using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the ...
the sample consisted of 189 nursing technicians with a 40.9% excessive daytime sleepiness prevalence. In multivariate models, excessive daytime sleepiness was not associated with sleep quality, howeve...
study results demonstrate a high excessive daytime sleepiness occurrence, an association with overall memory failures and the need for psychosocial interventions for nursing technicians....
We investigated the potential harmful effect in older adults of insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) on myocardial functions and electrophysiologic changes of the heart in terms of heart ra...
The study included 32 insomnia patients and 30 control subjects. An Insomnia Severity Index score of ≥15 indicated insomnia, while a score of <8 was accepted as the control group. The Epworth Sleepine...
The mean age was 73.2 ± 7.9 years, with 59.7% being female. Biventricular systolic and diastolic functions were impaired in the insomnia patients. The E' value for diastolic function was lower in the ...
Insomnia is associated with impaired systolic-diastolic functions, independent of EDS. The co-existence of insomnia and EDS may lead to electrophysiological changes in older adults, including increase...
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is common in patients with epilepsy (PWE). The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a self-reported measure of sleepiness in widespread use. The purpose of this study w...
A cross-sectional study was performed on 115 PWE presenting to the epilepsy clinic. Self-reported questionnaires were administered and demographic and clinical information was gathered from the electr...
A high ESS score was found in nearly 20% of the cohort. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk, standardized anti-seizure drug (ASD) dose, and female sex were associated with an increased likelihood of a ...
Sex is likely to be a key factor in determining contributors to EDS in PWE....
Hydrocephalus is a rare diagnosis and can be mistaken for dementia in elderly people. Symptoms such as urine incontinence, gait dysfunction and cognitive impairment may be reversible with appropriate ...
The aim of this review is to give updated information to pediatric neurologists on the correct diagnostic approach and treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in children and adolescents. Due ...
The aim of this study was to assess medical students' quality of sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness in different graduation cycles....
A cross-sectional study was carried out at a private university in Maceió, Brazil, from August 2021 to March 2022. The sample was composed of medical students aged 18 years and above from years 1-2 (b...
A total of 179 students participated; most of them were female (78.2%), aged 19-25 years (73.7%), and with a body mass index<25 kg/m2 (73.7%), with smaller participation from students from the basic c...
About half of the medical students experience poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness, regardless of the graduation cycle. This should trigger a targeted institutional intervention to promote better...
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) causes weakness and secondary associations, such as respiratory complications and pain, that can be linked to abnormal sleep patterns. Limited studies hav...
We conducted a prospective survey of individuals with self-reported FSHD enrolled in the FSHD Society Registry. The survey consisted of demographic and clinical characteristics, the Pittsburgh Sleep Q...
Six hundred ninety individuals responded to the survey, equally distributed between men and women, and spanning the age range from under 12 to 74 years of age or older. Sixty-six percent of the respon...
Physicians should monitor sleep quality of patients with FSHD as a routine part of care, with special attention to potentially modifiable factors. Future research should address the physiological effe...
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD), but its neuropathology remains elusive. Our goal is to explore the potential neural substrates of EDS in a...
We recruited 48 PD patients with and 87 PD patients without EDS. We used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare amplitudes of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) between the two ...
EDS was associated with significantly lower ALFF in the left angular gyrus, and ALFF in this region correlated negatively with score on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale in patients with PD. EDS was also a...
Our results suggest that EDS in PD patients is associated with reduced spontaneous neural activity in the left angular gyrus and with reduced FC between the left angular gyrus and cerebellum. These fi...
This study aimed to replicate previously reported EEG characteristics between typically developing (TD) children and two subtypes of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using a frontal, si...
Children with ADHD Inattentive (ADHD-I) and ADHD Combined presentation (ADHD-C) and typically-developing (TD) children (N = 34 in each group) had frontal EEG recorded during eyes-closed resting, eyes-...
Consistent with previous literature, there were increases in frontal delta and theta power in the ADHD-C compared to ADHD-I and TD groups, in all conditions. Novel power and activation effects in ADHD...
These findings highlight the importance of considering ADHD subtypes and EDS when exploring EEG characteristics, and have important implications for the diagnosis and treatment of children with ADHD....
