Abstract Introduction Sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder (SRRMD) is characterized by repetitive motor behaviors involving large muscle groups that occur predominantly during stage N1 sleep. SSRMs are common in infants and children but they usually spontaneously resolve before adolescence. This case presents a rare adult of SRRMD. Report case(s) A 60-year-old man initially to clinic for ev...

Abstract. The infants admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) always need a Hygienic environment and round clock observations. Infants or just born babies express their physical emotional needs through cry. Thus, detection of reasons behind infant cry plays vital role monitoring health NICU. In this paper, we have proposed novel approach for detecting Infant's signal is captured fro...

Abstract The hypocretin/orexin system regulates arousal through central nervous mechanisms and plays an important role in sleep, wakefulness energy homeostasis. It is unclear whether hypocretin peptides are also present blood due to difficulties measuring reliable reproducible levels of the samples. Lack signalling causes sleep disorder narcolepsy type 1, low concentration cerebrospinal fluid h...

BACKGROUND Bilastine is a novel nonsedative H(1)-receptor antagonist, which may be used for the symptomatic treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria (CU). The aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of bilastine 20 mg vs levocetirizine 5 mg and placebo in CU patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms. METHODS Overall 525 male and female subjects aged 18-70 years were...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic process and the surgical procedures in patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are crucial. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of surgical treatment in snoring and OSAS patients. MATERIAL/METHODS A precise laryngological examination and screening polysomnography (Poly-Mesam) were performed in all patients with mild, moderate an...

During 2009, the Haifa district of Clalit Health Services (CHS) has switched from in-lab polysomnography (PSG) to home studies for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We assessed the effects of this change on accessibility, waiting time, satisfaction, costs, and CPAP purchase by the patients. Data regarding sleep studies, CPAP purchase, and waiting times were collected retrospective...

The primary object of these experiments was to determine the variations in volume of the arm as measured by a water plethysmo= graph during the entire period of normal sleep. The experiments were begun some years ago by Messrs. Bardeen and Nichols, who wer~ at that time students in this laboratory. Their work gave them some very interesting curves, showing the sensitiveness of the vaso-motor ce...

Objective Several types of nasal packs are used postoperatively in septoplasty. In this study, we compared two commonly used nasal packing materials, the intranasal septal splint with airway and Merocel tampon, in terms of pain, bleeding, nasal obstruction, eating difficulties, discomfort in sleep, and pain and bleeding during removal of packing in the early period. Methods The study group in...

BACKGROUND The variability of blood pressure (BP) makes any single measurement a poor indicator of a patient's true BP. Multiple studies have confirmed the superiority of ambulatory BP measurements over clinic BP measurements in predicting cardiovascular risk; however, this method presents the problem of patient acceptance as it causes frequent arm discomfort and sleep disturbance. We hypothesi...

866 RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME (RLS) IS AN INTRINSIC SLEEP DISORDER IN WHICH PATIENTS DESCRIBE AN URGE TO MOVE THEIR LEGS OR OTHER EXTREMITIES during rest. This may be accompanied by unpleasant sensations that are temporarily relieved by movement. Typically, the sensory-motor complaints of RLS arise or worsen during the night, showing a circadian pattern. RLS discomfort leads to a severe difficulty...
