Anosognosia and Memory Encoding in Huntington Disease - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35239598/

Background: Anosognosia can manifest as an unawareness of neurobehavioral symptoms in individuals with Huntington disease (HD). Measurement of anosognosia is challenging, but the Anosognosia Scale (AS) represents a brief option...


Conclusion: Anosognosia (per AS) is associated with recognition-discrimination deficits and fewer self-reported neuropsychiatric symptoms in individuals with pre-to-early manifest HD, though not with HD severity per genetic or motor markers, nor to executive dysfunction or collateral-reported frontal-behavioral symptoms.

Understanding the Impact of Stimulants on Sleep in ADHD: Evidence from Systematic Assessment of Sleep in Adults - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35246824/

Stimulants are widely prescribed to manage attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults. Stimulants promote wakefulness and can produce insomnia side effects. We hypothesized that systematic studies of sleep effects would reveal...


Conclusion/Relevance: All studies recorded self-report subjective sleep quality data, three studies collected actigraphy data, and three studies collected polysomnography data. One study found better subjective sleep quality under open-label treatment conditions. Both polysomnography studies found improvement in aspects of sleep patterns. Two of...

Recognizing New-Onset Sleep Disorders in Autoimmune Encephalitis Often Prompt Earlier Diagnosis - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35239557/

doi: 10.1097/WNP.0000000000000820. Online ahead of print. 1 New Mexico Sleep Labs, Rio Rancho, New Mexico, U.S.A.; Omni Sleep, Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A.; Department of Neurology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque,...


Conclusion: Recognizing a particular sleep/wake disorder is often a presenting or prominent feature in certain autoimmune encephalitis permit for earlier diagnosis. This is important because reduced morbidity and better short- and long-term outcomes are associated with earlier diagnosis and immunotherapies.

Sleep Quality and Insomnia Are Associated With Quality of Life in Functional Dyspepsia

Sleep Quality and Insomnia Are Associated With Quality of Life in Functional Dyspepsia

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2022.829916/

BackgroundSleep disturbances are common in patients with functional dyspepsia. Our aim was to assess the relationship between subjective sleep and quality of life and to identify factors associated with impaired...


Conclusion and Inferences: A high prevalence of sleep disturbances was found in patients suffering from functional dyspepsia, with 81% of them having altered sleep quality and 61% having insomnia based on subjective assessment. Altered sleep quality and insomnia were associated with altered quality of life, higher severity of symptoms, and...
