Methods Thirty-one male patients diagnosed with moderate OSAS were included in this double-blind, randomized, parallel study. Patients were randomized into two groups: High-EMST and Low-EMST groups. EMST was used at home 7 days/week, once a day, for 25 breaths, 12 weeks. Respiratory muscle strength was measured using a mouth pressure device. Disease severity (Apne Hipopne Index-AHI) and, respiratory sleep events by polysomnography, total oxidant level(TOS), total antioxidant level(TAS), oxidative stress index (OSI), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels by blood serum were evaluated. Results The percentage of AHI change in the High-EMST group(50.8%) was significantly higher than in the Low-EMST group(6.3%) (p=0.002, d=1.31). In general, as MEP increased by one unit, AHI decreased by 0.149 points (b=-0.149; CR=-3.065; p=0.002), and as AHI increased by one unit, ODI increased by 0.746 points (b=0.746; CR=10.604; p<0.001). TOS, OSI, TNF-α and IL-6 levels decreased at similar rates in both groups. Conclusion EMST significantly reduces systemic inflammation and oxidative stress while improving expiratory muscle strength in male patients with moderate OSAS. High-EMST is more effective in enhancing the severity of disease than Low-EMST. EMST is a practical, effective, and promising treatment for pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with moderate OSAS.","PeriodicalId":22018,"journal":{"name":"Sleep","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Parents of a nationally representative sample of 5,525 Spanish children and adolescents ages 5-16 years (56.1% boys) completed the Spanish translation parent proxy short versions of the Sleep Disturbance and Sleep-Related Impairment scales. We conducted confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), invariance analyses, and graded response IRT analyses. Results CFAs conducted separately on males and females within three age groups (early childhood: ages 5-8 years; middle childhood: ages 9-12 years; adolescence: ages 13-16 years) indicated all items had a substantial loading with one exception (the sleep continuity item [“my child slept through the night”] had a substantially lower loading and was removed for subsequent analyses). The scores on the two scales demonstrated invariance across sex within each age group. Using IRT analyses, both scales showed a high degree of information and precision from slightly below the trait means to slightly above two standard deviations above the trait means. Conclusions The strong psychometric properties of the short versions of the parent proxy PROMIS pediatric sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment scales, coupled with age-based norms, suggests these scales are likely to be useful for research and clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":22018,"journal":{"name":"Sleep","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited data exists for rarer types of neurodegenerative diseases, such as behavioral variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD). This study aims to analyze EEG power spectra and sleep stage transitions in bvFTD patients, hypothesizing that bvFTD may show distinctive sleep stage transitions compared to patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Methods Eighteen probable bvFTD patients and eighteen age- and sex-matched probable AD patients underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG) and completed sleep disorders questionnaires. Sleep questionnaires, full-night EEG spectra, and sleep stage transitions indexes were compared between groups. Results bvFTD patients had higher Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores (95%CI: 0, 5) and reported poorer sleep quality than AD patients (p<0.01). Compared to AD, bvFTD patients showed higher N1 percentage (95%CI: 0.1, 6), lower N3 percentage (95%CI: -13.6, -0.6), higher sleep-wake transitions (95%CI: 1.49, 8.86) and N1 sleep-wake transitions (95%CI: 0.32, 6.1). EEG spectral analysis revealed higher spectral power in bvFTD compared to AD patients in faster rhythms, especially sigma rhythm, across all sleep stages. In bvFTD patients, sleep-wake transitions were positively associated with ISI. Conclusions Patients with bvFTD present higher rates of transitions between wake and sleep than AD patients. The increased frequency of sleep transitions indicates a higher degree of sleep instability in bvFTD, which may reflect an imbalance in sleep-wake promoting systems. Sleep stage transitions analysis may provide novel insights into the sleep alterations of bvFTD patients.","PeriodicalId":22018,"journal":{"name":"Sleep","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For college students, daily activities, comprised of scheduled classes, work, study, social, and other extracurricular events, are major contributors to insufficient and poor-quality sleep. We investigated the impact of daily schedules on sleep-wake timing in 223 undergraduate students (age: 18-27 years, 37% females) from a United States university, who were monitored for ~30 days. Sleep-wake timing and daily recorded activities (attendance at academic, studying, exercise-based, and/or extracurricular activities) were captured by a twice-daily internet-based diary. Wrist-worn actigraphy was conducted to confirm sleep-wake timing. Linear mixed models were used to quantify associations between daily schedule and sleep-wake timing at between-person and within-person levels. Later scheduled start time predicted later sleep onset (between and within: p < .001), longer sleep duration on the previous night (within: p < .001), and later wake time (between and within: p < .001). Later schedule end time predicted later sleep onset (within: p < .001) and shorter sleep duration that night (within: p < .001). For every 1 hour that activities extended beyond 10 pm, sleep onset was delayed by 15 minutes at the within-person level and 40 minutes at the between-person level, and sleep duration was shortened by 6 and 23 minutes, respectively. Increased daily documented total activity time predicted earlier wake (between and within: p < .001), later sleep onset that night (within: p < .05), and shorter sleep duration (within: p < .001). These results indicate that daily schedules are an important factor in sleep timing and duration in college students.
