Case Report: REM sleep without atonia in an adult with pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome: a case study and mechanistic insights Open
Background Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) is an immune-mediated disorder marked by abrupt onset of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and a spectrum of neuropsychiatric and somatic features, including sleep disturbances.…

Cyclic Alternating Pattern Dynamics in Individuals at Risk for Developing Parkinson's Disease Open
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the differences in cyclic alternating patterns (CAP) metrics, a non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep physiological rhythm, among recently diagnosed patients with Parkinson's disease (…

Global Dynamic Impression for Differentiating Between Epileptic and Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures: A Feasibility Study Open
Objective Medical personnel show difficulty in differentiating psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) from epileptic seizures (ES). The purpose of this study was to conduct an initial feasibility assessment of the global dynamic impressi…

Semi automatic quantification of REM sleep without atonia in natural sleep environment Open
Polysomnography, the gold standard diagnostic tool in sleep medicine, is performed in an artificial environment. This might alter sleep and may not accurately reflect typical sleep patterns. While macro-structures are sensitive to environm…

Semi-Automatic Quantification of REM Sleep WithoutAtonia in Natural Sleep Environment Open
Background: Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard diagnostic tool in sleep medicine, typically evaluates sleep patterns and sleep-related disorders in an artificial environment, potentially leading to distorted sleep. Sleep macro-struct…

Overnight Distribution of REM Sleep Features in People with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Non-PD Controls Open
Background: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a leading predictor of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Diagnosis is performed in the sleep laboratory by detecting pathological REM sleep without atonia (RSWA). The evidence o…

Monitoring sleep stages with a soft electrode array: Comparison against<span>vPSG</span>and home‐based detection of<span>REM</span>sleep without atonia Open
Summary Sleep disorders are symptomatic hallmarks of a variety of medical conditions. Accurately identifying the specific stage in which these disorders occur is particularly important for the correct diagnosis of non‐rapid eye movement an…

Nocturnal visual hallucinations in patients with disorders of arousal: a novel behavioral and EEG pattern Open
A novel, distinct behavioral and EEG pattern in patients with DOA and history of reported complex nocturnal visual hallucinations was identified. This may represent a unique phenotype of dissociation between sleep states that merits furthe…

Cyclic alternating pattern in obstructive sleep apnea: A preliminary study Open
Summary Obstructive sleep apnea is linked to cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders and dementia. The precise nature of the association between respiratory events in obstructive sleep apnea, cortical or subcortical arousals, and cogni…

Striatal Dopaminergic Deficit and Sleep in Idiopathic Rapid Eye Movement Behaviour Disorder: An Explorative Study Open
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a close relationship between dopaminergic availability in striatum and the quality of sleep in iRBD. Taken together, our exploratory findings suggest that subtle but function…

Impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on sleep Open
Sleep disturbances have affected a substantial proportion of the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. These are significantly associated with a self-assessed impact on mental health, but may also be related to suspecte…
