Available online 10 May 2022, 105594 * A 1-D CNN is used for CAP phase classification of healthy and disordered patients. * Proposed model requires no pre-processing & uses only...
Conclusion/Relevance: This study proposes an automated approach using a deep learning model based on a 1-dimensional convolutional neural network for classifying CAP phases (A and B) .... The proposed approach can help medical professionals monitor sleep and examine a person's brain stability.
Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium Oxybates (Xywav®) in Sleep Disorders: A Profile of Its Use - CNS Drugs
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40263-022-00912-6
Calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium oxybates (Xywav®; hereafter referred to as lower-sodium oxybate), a new oxybate formulation with a greatly reduced sodium burden compared with previously approved sodium oxybate (Xyrem®),...
Conclusion: Lower-sodium oxybate is generally well tolerated, with the tolerability profile being largely consistent to that seen with sodium oxybate.

ObjectiveThe long-term impact of COVID-19 on patient health has been a recent focus. This study aims to determine the persistent symptoms and psychological conditions of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 15...
Conclusions: 15-month follow-up in this study demonstrated the need of extended rehabilitation intervention for complete recovery in COVID-19 patients.
Four Weeks of a Neuro-Meditation Program Improves Sleep Quality and Reduces Hypertension in Nursing Staff During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial
Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.854474/full
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a neuro-meditation program to support nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Forty-five (10 men and 35 women) nurses were classified...
Conclusion: This initial evidence suggests that neuro-meditation reduces excessive sympathetic activity, promoting enhanced sleep quality and autonomic control during periods of increased work-related stress.
Effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) on quality of life: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1087079222000594?via=ihub
The effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) have consistently been shown to improve insomnia symptoms and other health-related outcomes, but the effects on QoL have been inconsistent. Many...
Conclusion: This meta-analysis confirmed a moderate, overall effect of CBT-I in improving QoL. However, due to small power and heterogeneity, future studies are needed to better explore the impact of moderating factors such as mode of delivery and type of QoL measure for assessment used.
