Specifically, the case illustrates a patient with RLS treated with dopaminergic medication and the phenomenon of augmentation. The diagnosis of RLS with augmentation due to dopaminergic medication was based on the history of worsening symptoms in relation to upward titration of a dopaminergic agent that was initially effective, with symptom improvement after the agent was discontinued. The differentiation of augmentation and rebound is discussed. Familial and secondary forms of RLS are viewed. Pharmacotherapy for RLS includes dopaminergic agents, alpha-2-delta ligands, benzodiazepines, and opioids; these are detailed and indications, approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, dosing, and adverse effects are discussed.","PeriodicalId":30275,"journal":{"name":"Sleep Disorders","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82626876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of screen-based activities (e.g., cellphones, tablets, and video games) is a major contributor to insufficient and poor-quality sleep. The authors discuss changes in the sleep/wake pattern at the transition from pre-adolescent to adolescent age and various factors affecting these changes. They explain how self-imposed poor sleep hygiene practices and behaviors at bedtime affect sleep latency. Sleep logs or actigraphy can be useful tools in the confirmation of ISS. Strategies to avoid wake-promoting late evening activities and a consistent sleep/wake schedule are the keys to optimal daytime functioning. Treating insufficient sleep in adolescents with education and behavioral modification is effective in most cases.","PeriodicalId":30275,"journal":{"name":"Sleep Disorders","volume":"184 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82753514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OA is a good alternative to PAP therapy that can be combined with other conservative options, such as weight loss and positional therapy. Many patients with OSA who cannot tolerate PAP therapy may be able to be managed by OA. Short-term side effects of OA device usage for OSA include tooth pain, gum soreness/gingival irritation, muscle soreness, myofascial pain, excessive salivation, dryness, and abnormal occlusion. OA adherence for OSA treatment is greater than that observed for PAP and shows comparable improvement in subjective sleepiness.

Treatment of OSA has been shown to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension, and the reduction is more marked in those with resistant hypertension.

The prevalence of SDB after stroke has been noted to be very high, up to 70%, and consists of a higher contribution of central sleep apnea compared to the general population. Recurrent stroke is associated with a higher prevalence of SDB compared to first-time stroke. Contributions to SDB as related to stroke do not appear to have consistencies in terms of location and size of stroke. Untreated SDB can also contribute to stroke risk, with mechanisms involving increased systemic inflammation, prothrombotic biochemical markers, and dysfunction of cerebral autoregulation. Although there are post-hoc subgroup data in a randomized controlled trial suggesting reduction in stroke outcomes when SDB is treated with positive airway pressure, overall there are few studies that have rigorously examined the impact of treatment. Hypersomnia can be treated with modafinil and restless legs syndrome may become manifest due to sleep fragmentation.","PeriodicalId":30275,"journal":{"name":"Sleep Disorders","volume":"277 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90416406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
