Objective: To describe a distinct parasomnia involving sexual behaviour, which we have named sexsomnia. Method: We used case series as basis for the description of sexsomina. Results: Eleven patients with behaviours nature during sleep are described. The features in common other nonrapid eye movement arousal parasomnias, such sleepwalking documented. Some had simply been referred to tertiary clinic investigation unrelated problems. A small number involved medicolegal issues. Sexsomnia has...
Purpose: To describe an association of Tourette's syndrome with rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) in a prepubescent boy. Methods: A four year longitudinal single-case study. Results: The co-existence and RBD was confirmed after polysomnographic studies using the standard criteria. authors propose possible overlap pathophysiological mechanisms underlying two disorders.
Since inception of the alexithymia construct in 1970's, there has been a continuous effort to improve both its theoretical postulates and clinical utility through development, standardization validation assessment scales.The aim this study was validate Serbian translation 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) propose new method scales with property temporal stability.The scale expertly translated by bilingual medical professionals linguist, given sample participants from general...
Abstract: Objective: To explain relatively common phenomenon of laughing during sleep and help to better define criteria for differentiating between physiological pathological sleep-laughing. Methods: Observational study patients who underwent a assessment in referential tertiary health facility. Results: A total ten exhibited laughing, nine whom had episodes associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Also, one the sleep-laughing was symptoms REM Behaviour Disorder, another patient NREM...
Rene Descartes (1596–1650) was a mathematician, philosopher, and scholar, whose work set foundation for modern science. Among other interests, he focused on locating the “core seat of soul” concluded that pineal gland such structure. Recent scientific findings validate Descartes’ deep interest in gland, appreciating its role as part circadian rhythm system. On hand, biographical information suggests had an aberration (delayed sleep phase). Coincidentally, this meant one most important things...
The case report describes a distinct variant of non‐REM (Rapid Eye Movement) arousal parasomnia, sleepwalking type, featuring repetitive abrupt arousals, mostly from slow‐wave sleep, and various automatisms semi‐purposeful behaviours. frequency events distribution throughout the night presented as continuous status parasomnia (‘ parasomnicus ’). patient responded well to treatment typically administered for adult NREM parasomnias, after careful review clinical presentation, objective...
Sleep-disordered breathing often presents as a cardiac or psychiatric problem. Such presentation may lead to suboptimal diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. The authors present case in which patient's condition improved only after the primary disorder was diagnosed properly managed.
Treatment of insomnia with hypnotics often requires careful consideration by a physician treating high-risk patient. This is particularly true for pregnant women, paediatric patients and elderly patients, in part because there are not always clear practice guidelines on what hypnotic could be chosen how it should administered, if at all. There three principal groups medication that have (soporific) effect - benzodiazepines nonbenzodiazepine GABA agonists (Z-hypnotics), melatonin secondary...

Introduction Alexithymia represents a personality trait construct encompassing difficulty identifying and describing feelings, distinguishing between feelings the related physical sensations, an externally oriented cognition. A self-report 20-item Toronto Scale (TAS-20) is commonly used tool to measure alexithymia. It has been translated into more than 20 different languages, crossing cultural language barriers. TAS-20 factorial structure: factor 1 assesses feelings; 2 3 thinking. Objective...
A novel group of medications, dual orexin receptor antagonists, emerged as a competent that challenges current first-line hypnotics. They have relatively infrequent and mostly well-tolerated side effects, primarily in the form residual somnolence, fatigue nightmares/disturbing dreams. The advantage over conventional hypnotics stems from specifics their target receptors, which translates into lack tolerance after long term use good safety profile. are particularly favoured some specific...
