We found a lack of data on the effectiveness of antihistamine-analgesic-decongestant combinations for the common cold. Based on these scarce data, the effect on individual symptoms is probably too small...


Authors' conclusions: We found a lack of data on the effectiveness of antihistamine-analgesic-decongestant combinations for the common cold. Based on these scarce data, the effect on individual symptoms is probably too small to be clinically relevant. The current evidence suggests that antihistamine-analgesic-decongestant combinations have...

HPA axis activity in patients with chronic insomnia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35091194/

Insomnia is a highly prevalent disorder and a state of 24 h hyperarousal is considered as a key factor of this condition. Various physiological markers of hyperarousal have been investigated,...


Conclusion/Relevance: Results suggest that patients with insomnia show moderately increased cortisol levels (SMD = 0.50, 95% CI: [0.21-0.80]). Higher effect sizes were found by including only studies using blood samples in the analysis (SMD = 0.67, 95% CI: [0.15-1.18]). Furthermore, a positive, but insignificant association was found between...

This study explored whether the HDRS can help characterize insomnia in depression. * The sample comprised 80 participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). * HDRS Early and Late Insomnia items corroborated...


Conclusion/Relevance: The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), which includes several insomnia-related items, is potentially valuable in evaluating both depressive and sleep symptoms. However, the HDRS insomnia items have not been fully assessed by objective measures. This study compared the three HDRS insomnia items (Early, Middle, and...

Understanding Sleepiness and Fatigue in Cabin Crew Using COVID-19 to Dissociate Causative Factors - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35063056/

OBJECTIVES: Airline cabin crew experience high levels of fatigue and sleepiness. Whether these are solely related to their work schedules/jetlag or are in part related to individual factors is unknown....


Conclusions: With reduced workloads or not flying, cabin crew reported lowered fatigue and sleepiness compared to prepandemic findings, along with reduced risk for major depressive disorder. However, a high occurrence of negative emotional states were reported, potentially related to the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. This study suggests...
