PICO method was used to develop research question and a thorough review was conducted to identify most relevant evidence-based research related to the effectiveness of yoga on patients with breast cancer in reducing symptoms of stress. Our review revealed four studies suggesting that yoga exercises may reduce stress related symptoms associated with breast cancer patients. Yoga exercises are effective and helpful and could reduce symptoms of stress in patients with breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":374883,"journal":{"name":"Examines in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation","volume":"1995 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131163326","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}

Obstructive sleep apnea increases the risk of stroke independently, but the reported lack of therapeutic effectiveness of Continuous positive airway pressure for stroke prevention and cardiovascular protection should be cautiously interpreted. Short or long sleep duration, and insomnia with objective short sleep duration, could be risk factors for stroke and mortality. Sleep-related movement disorders, including Periodic limb movement during sleep and Restless leg syndrome are also potential risk factors for stroke. The overall findings suggest that systematic screening and proper management of sleep disturbances can substantially contribute to stroke risk modification at the population level.

People with OSA have four times the odds of atrial fibrillation [32]. Nocturnal oxygen desaturation is an independent risk factor for new onset atrial fibrillation [33]. Sleep apnea is associated with inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, hypercoagulability, and cerebral hemodynamic changes [34-41]. Recent studies reported that OSA was significantly associated with incident stroke [42]. The relationship between sleep duration and stroke incidence is U-shaped in general; the risk for stroke is elevated in both short and long sleep groups [4345]. Short sleep, commonly defined as <5 to 6 hours of nocturnal sleep, increases the risks of stroke, coronary heart disease, and death [44,46]. Sleep deprivation leads to increased levels of the appetite stimulating hormone ghrelin and reduced levels of the anti-appetite hormone leptin [47]. Furthermore, reduced physical activity associated with sleep deprivation leads to weight gain by decreasing energy expenditure [48]. Short sleep is also associated with sympathetic overactivity, which leads to impaired glucose metabolism hypertension, and non-dipping of blood pressure [49-51]. Long sleep duration (more than 9 hours of sleep) is also associated with stroke and cardiovascular mortality [52]. The linking mechanisms between long sleep and stroke are still elusive, but increased inflammation and abnormal lipid profiles in long sleepers have recently been reported [53,54]. Insomnia is prevalent in approximately 10% to 20% of the adult population, with approximately 50% having a chronic form. Chronic insomnia disorder is characterized by a complaint of difficulty initiating sleep and maintaining sleep and waking up earlier than desired. The diagnosis of chronic insomnia requires occurrences on at least three nights per week for at least 3 months. Insomnia was found to be a r","PeriodicalId":374883,"journal":{"name":"Examines in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124286508","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}
