Home respiratory polygraphy may be a simpler alternative to in-laboratory polysomnography for the management of more symptomatic patients with obstructive sleep apnea, but its effectiveness has not been evaluated across broad clinical spectrum.To compare long-term (6 mo) home and protocols in intermediate-to-high apnea suspicion (most requiring study).A multicentric, noninferiority, randomized controlled trial two open parallel arms cost-effectiveness analysis was performed 12 tertiary...
Dementia is a significant public health problem. One non-pharmacological therapy that has shown its effectiveness reminiscence, which psychological intervention designed to address issues of particular relevance older adults. The aim this study was examine the benefits an integrative reminiscence program in elderly people with dementia.A quasi-experimental design and purposeful sampling were conducted at two retirement homes.

Telemedicine seems to offer reliable solutions health care challenges, but significant contradictory results were recently found. Therefore, it is crucial carefully select outcomes and target patients who may take advantage of this technology. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy compliance essential treat with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We believe that OSA could benefit greatly from a telemedicine approach for CPAP management.The objective our study was evaluate the...
Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disease associated with significant morbidity and high healthcare costs. Information communication technology could offer cost-effective management options. Objectives To evaluate an out-of-hospital Virtual Sleep Unit (VSU) based on telemedicine to manage all patients suspected OSA, including those without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Methods This was open randomized controlled trial. Patients OSA were hospital...
Identifying and evaluating best practices in the social health care systems of Catalonia have been a challenge last years. It implies defining what integrated models are, these look like, understand their dynamics, needs, commonalities contexts. Different strategic initiatives coexisted Catalan policy agenda. More recently, referent professionals promoted to further happens at local regional level. In this context, commissioned research project was launched 2022 with goal mapping assessing...
Introduction Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first-choice treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), but adherence frequently suboptimal. Innovative, patient-centred interventions are, therefore, needed to enhance compliance. Due its low cost and ubiquity, mobile health (mHealth) technology seems particularly suited this purpose. We endeavoured develop an mHealth application called "APPnea," aimed at promoting patient self-monitoring of CPAP treatment. then assessed...
The objective is to examine the effects of reminiscence therapy (RT) on total, episodic and semantic autobiographical memory in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) Alzheimer's disease (AD) groups, testing RT different stages memory, its effectiveness at follow-up. A sample composed 43 aMCI (27 treatments, 16 controls) 30 AD (15 15 subjects were evaluated with Autobiographical Memory Interview (AMI) test. consisted 10 sessions lasting 60 minutes each. Both AD, showed significant overall...

This study based on secondary analysis routine data available databases patients’ professionals’ evaluations care provided by MC Mutual during period 2017–2019, prior to COVID-19 pandemic. Eight dimensions considered: results care,...
Background Current continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices can be monitored remotely; however, in-person visits are kept for clinical follow-up in order to promote CPAP use and resolve potential side-effects. Mobile health is a promising way provide remote easy control support. We aimed evaluate the feasibility acceptance by obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients healthcare professionals of newly designed mobile app (Appnea-Q) through self-monitoring tool with supervised...
Intermittent hypoxia (IH)-a hallmark of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-enhances lung cancer progression in mice via altered host immune responses that are also age and sex-dependent. However, the interactions menopause with IH on tumor malignant properties remain unexplored. Here, we aimed to investigate outcomes context ovariectomy (OVX)-induced a murine model OSA.Thirty-four female (C57BL/6, 12-week-old) were subjected bilateral OVX or Sham intervention. Six months after surgery,...

Patients with sleep apnea are usually treated continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This therapy is very effective if the patient′s adherence satisfactory. However, although CPAP acceptable during first months of therapy, it progressively decreases, a considerable number patients accepting average treatment duration below effectiveness threshold (4 h/night). Herein, our aim was to describe and evaluate novel telemedicine strategy for rescuing in low after several months/years...
Aim The present study distinguishes three memory stages across the lifespan, and aims to compare episodic semantic autobiographical in healthy older adults, with amnesic mild cognitive impairment, A lzheimer's disease.
