Ethnic differences exist in sleepiness 3 Months after ischemic stroke

Ethnic differences exist in sleepiness 3 Months after ischemic stroke

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1389945722011224?via=ihub

Mexican American compared to non-Hispanic white participants reported greater sleepiness 90 days after stroke. * This ethnic disparity persisted when controlling for confounding variables. * Respiratory event index measured soon...


Relevance: To examine the association between ethnicity and 90-day post-stroke subjective sleepiness, an important determinant of quality of life, as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), among ischemic stroke survivors.

Francisco J. Martinez-Orozco, Miguel Fernandez-Arquero, Jose L. Vicario, Laura Lillo-Triguero, Elena Ameyugo, Rosa Peraita-Adrados Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of our series...


Conclusions: The prevalence of AD/ID is high in our series, suggesting that NT1 might arise on a background of generalized susceptibility to immune-mediated processes. The occurrence of an ID can in turn influence the development of others in genetically predisposed individuals, which explains the increased associations observed in this...

Conclusions: In older patients with insomnia, as in younger patients, the efficacy of daridorexant is maximal on night-time and daytime variables at the higher dose of 50 mg. Older patients particularly require this dose to improve daytime functioning. Older patients are not at an increased risk of adverse events or residual effects the next...

Danavorexton, a selective orexin 2 receptor agonist, provides a symptomatic improvement in a narcolepsy mouse model

Danavorexton, a selective orexin 2 receptor agonist, provides a symptomatic improvement in a narcolepsy mouse model

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091305722001435?via=ihub

Danavorexton shows rapid association and dissociation kinetics to OX2R. * Activation mode of endogenous OX2R by danavorexton is similar to that by orexin peptide. * Danavorexton can induce cortical arousal...


Conclusion/Relevance: These preclinical findings, together with upcoming clinical observations of danavorexton, could improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of NT1 and therapeutic potential of OX2R agonists.
