<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To perform a large and detailed epidemiologic study on restless legs syndrome (RLS) during pregnancy the puerperium. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A structured clinical interview, assessing symptoms since beginning of pregnancy, was performed to population 642 pregnant women at time delivery follow-up evaluation (1, 3, 6 months after delivery). Main hematologic tests were also evaluated. woman considered affected if she met International RLS Study Group criteria for...
The aim of this study was to determine if the lockdown measures applied due pandemic Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) affected sleep general population and health professionals in six different countries (Greece, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, France, Brazil). We used a web-based survey with short questionnaire 13 questions, translated into four languages (Greek, German, French, Portuguese). included information about demographic professional data, quantitative qualitative characteristics...
Some patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS; respiratory distress index (RDI) of >5 events.h(-1)) experience residual excessive daytime subjective sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score >10), despite adequate use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. The aim the present study was to identify clinical and polysomnographic predictors this sleepiness. Clinical variables ESS were evaluated in 208 OSAS an >10 before (initial assessment) after > or =6 months...
Background: Conversely to other neurodegenerative diseases (i.e., Alzheimer's disease, AD), sleep in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has not been studied adequately. Although some evidence exists that sleep-wake disturbances occur FTD, very little i
Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and / or Sleep Apnea (OSA) often complain about sleepiness, fatigue, anxiety depression. However, common screening questionnaires, like Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Fatigue Severity (FSS) Hospital Anxiety Depression (HADS) have not been previous evaluated in patients overlap–coexisting COPD OSA–syndrome versus OSA alone. Our study compared ESS, FSS HADS between overlap syndrome OSA, before after treatment Continuous Positive...
Patients with serious psychiatric diseases (major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar (BD), and schizophrenia psychotic disorder) often complain about sleepiness during the day, fatigue, low energy, concentration problems, insomnia; unfortunately, many of these symptoms are also frequent in patients Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). However, existing data clinical appearance OSA Psychiatric Disease generally missing. The aim our study was a detailed focused evaluation Disease, terms symptoms,...
Introduction: Little information exists in the general population whether clinical presentation phenotypes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) differ terms quality and comorbidities. Aim: The purpose our study was to assess possible differences between symptomatic asymptomatic OSA patients concerning syndrome's severity, patients' quality, Subjects methods: First, a nationwide, stratified, epidemiological survey, 4,118 Cypriot adult participants were interviewed about habits complaints. In...
Study Objectives: The aim of this study is to explore the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, a marker Vitamin status, and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), expressed as increased scores Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), in group prospectively enrolled patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: Newly diagnosed OSA, divided into two groups, those EDS (ESS&gt;10) without (ESS
Objectives: Aiginition Longitudinal Biomarker Investigation Of Neurodegeneration (ALBION) is a longitudinal ongoing study initiated in 2018 that takes place the Cognitive Disorders Clinic of Hospital National and Kapodistrian University Athens. Its aim to address several research questions concerning preclinical prodromal stage Alzheimer's disease explore potential markers for early detection, prediction, primary prevention dementia. Methods: We here present design preliminary baseline...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic and prevalent disorder, strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), or respiratory event (REI), the oxygen desaturation (ODI) are clinical metrics of in terms diagnosis severity. However, AHI, REI, does not quantify OSA-related hypoxemia poorly predicts consequences cardiometabolic diseases. Moreover, it unclear whether ODI correlates CVD OSA. Our study aimed to examine possible associations between indices...
Study Objectives: The aim of this cross-sectional study is to explore the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, a marker Vitamin status, and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), expressed as increased scores Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), in group prospectively enrolled patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: Newly diagnosed OSA, divided into two groups, those EDS (ESS > 10) without < 10). All underwent night polysomnography. Measurement 25(OH)D...
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is increasingly becoming recognized as a major cause of early onset (<65 years) neurodegenerative dementia. Although sleep disorders significantly impair patients' and caregivers' quality life in diseases, polysomnographic data FTD patients are scarce literature. Aim our study was to investigate microstructure FTD, by means Cyclic Alternating Pattern (CAP), group ten behavioral variant (6 M, 4 F; mean age 61.2±7.3 years; disease duration: 1.4±0.7 compare them...
