Incidence of narcolepsy symptoms after taking COVID-19 vaccines: a Jordanian cross-sectional study. Clin Exp Vaccine Res 2024; 13:218-224. [PMID: 39144130 PMCID: PMC11319113 DOI: 10.7774/cevr.2024.13.3.218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Sleeping disorders were reported in many patients who took vaccines during previous pandemics. We aim to investigate the relationship between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines and the incidence of narcolepsy symptoms in the Jordanian population. Materials and Methods We used a descriptive, cross-sectional, online self-administered survey conducted between December 2022 and May 2023. The survey targeted males and females above the age of 18 years who took any type of COVID-19 vaccine, had no chronic diseases, and had no sleep disorders prior to taking the vaccine. The survey was distributed via social media platforms. Results A total of 873 participants were included in this study, consisting of 44.4% males and 55.6% females, with the majority being in the 18-29 age group. Most participants (79.8%) received two vaccine doses, with the Pfizer vaccine being the most common. Nearly half of the participants reported excessive daytime sleepiness. Sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations were reported by a notable proportion of participants, but no significant differences were found among the vaccine types. Sleep attacks and fragmented nighttime sleep were associated with the number of vaccine doses received, suggesting a possible influence of the dose count on these symptoms. The presence of excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden loss of muscle tone, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations showed no significant association with the number of doses taken. Conclusion We hypothesize a possible link between COVID-19 vaccination and the emergence of narcolepsy symptoms in Jordanian individuals. Additional investigations and continuous monitoring to determine the extent of the risk and uncover potential mechanisms behind this connection should be performed.

Abstract
Hypersomnia is a group of diseases that share the main symptom - excessive daytime sleepiness, not caused by disturbances in nocturnal sleep or circadian rhythms. Excessive daytime sleepiness is present in 15.6% of adults in the world, a Russian study showed a prevalence of 39.2%. It is associated with a wide range of comorbidities, including obesity and mental disorders, on the other hand, the presence of hypersomnia increases the likelihood of mental illness. People with hypersomnia are more likely to take medications, have a decreased quality of life, spend more health care resources, and more often receive social benefits. The heritability is estimated to be about 40% for sleep duration and 17% for excessive daytime sleepiness. Hypersomnia in mental disorders is secondary. It most often occurs in patients with depression or bipolar disorder. To assess the severity of daytime sleepiness, self-observation and objective methods, including the multiple sleep latency test, actigraphy, polysomnography, are used. In the differential diagnosis of hypersomnia in psychiatric disorders, it is necessary to make a differential diagnosis with hypersomnia caused by taking medications or other substances and insufficient sleep syndrome. The etiology of prolonged sleep in psychiatric disorders is complex, and includes biological and psychological causes. The relationship between self-reported hypersomnia and sleep actually obtained is still unclear. Results of daily polysomnography show a significant increase in time in bed during the day and night (clinophilia). Therapy of hypersomniac syndromes should be done taking into account the etiology of the disease. In cases of secondary nature, the main efforts should be directed to the treatment of the underlying mental disorder causing somnolence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aim: Conduct a comparative analysis of effectiveness of obesity treatment in primary care using patient-oriented approach with motivational counseling for lifestyle correction and its combination with armodafinil therapy in patients with concomitant shift work sleep disorder. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and Methods: 75 patients with obesity were studied, 38 patients had shift work disorder. Patients were divided into 2 groups: I (37 patients with obesity treated with motivational counseling) and II (38 patients with obesity and shift work disorder treated additionally with armodafinil 150 mg daily). The examination was at baseline, after 1st, 3th and 6th months. Statistical analysis was provided. RESULTS Results: After 1 month of treatment, there were improvement of eating behavior, level of anxiety and depression, prognosis of diabetes development. At 3rd month, more pronounced changes were observed in 2nd group: 10% body weight loss, changes in eating behavior, sleep quality, anxiety level (p<0.05). After 6 months, examined indicators in both groups normalized, but dynamics in 2nd group was more significant; armodafinil-treated group had significantly better results in body weight loss, BMI, WC, HC, ConI, AVI, BPs, HOMA index, serotonin, leptin, levels of anxiety and depression, eating behavior, daytime dysfunction, level of sleepiness, quality of life and risk of developing diabetes. CONCLUSION Conclusions: The use of armofafinil in addition to patientoriented motivational counseling in lifestyle correction ("5 As" and "5R") in patients with obesity connected with shift work disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness allows to reduce body weight by more than 16,52%, in contrast to isolated use of the same technique of motivational counseling in obese patients without sleep disorder (only 5,51%).

NPJ Parkinsons Dis 2022; 8:137. [PMID: 36266347 PMCID: PMC9584921 DOI: 10.1038/s41531-022-00407-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Imprecise vowels represent a common deficit associated with hypokinetic dysarthria resulting from a reduced articulatory range of motion in Parkinson's disease (PD). It is not yet unknown whether the vowel articulation impairment is already evident in the prodromal stages of synucleinopathy. We aimed to assess whether vowel articulation abnormalities are present in isolated rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD) and early-stage PD. A total of 180 male participants, including 60 iRBD, 60 de-novo PD and 60 age-matched healthy controls performed reading of a standardized passage. The first and second formant frequencies of the corner vowels /a/, /i/, and /u/ extracted from predefined words, were utilized to construct articulatory-acoustic measures of Vowel Space Area (VSA) and Vowel Articulation Index (VAI). Compared to controls, VSA was smaller in both iRBD (p = 0.01) and PD (p = 0.001) while VAI was lower only in PD (p = 0.002). iRBD subgroup with abnormal olfactory function had smaller VSA compared to iRBD subgroup with preserved olfactory function (p = 0.02). In PD patients, the extent of bradykinesia and rigidity correlated with VSA (r = -0.33, p = 0.01), while no correlation between axial gait symptoms or tremor and vowel articulation was detected. Vowel articulation impairment represents an early prodromal symptom in the disease process of synucleinopathy. Acoustic assessment of vowel articulation may provide a surrogate marker of synucleinopathy in scenarios where a single robust feature to monitor the dysarthria progression is needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In a subset of adults with non-rapid eye movement (NREM) parasomnias, clinical variants might be violent in nature and can potentially result in unintentional but considerable harm. As such, there is substantial interest on the forensic ramifications of these sleep behaviours. METHODS This review examined the diagnostic criteria for parasomnias established in the context of international classification systems; medicolegal case reports; legal frameworks; and court cases in and outside of Singapore, to provide an overview of the implications of NREM parasomnias. RESULTS Violent or injurious behaviours that occurred in the context of somnambulism, otherwise known as sleepwalking, have challenged traditional legal theories of criminal culpability. Yet little has changed in the application of sleep science to criminal responsibility. In Singapore, the defence of somnambulism has hitherto not been directly raised. Nonetheless, sleep medicine practitioners may increasingly be requested to render their opinions on legal issues pertaining to violent or injurious behaviours allegedly arising during sleep. Although the understanding of NREM parasomnias has improved, there is still a dearth of evidence to support both medical and legal decisions in this area. CONCLUSION NREM parasomnias come with disquieting legal and forensic implications for adjudicating criminal responsibility. There is a need to critically examine legal perspectives on behaviours occurring during sleep. More reliable empirical studies investigating the pathophysiology of NREM parasomnias can offer clearer diagnostic guidelines and address complex behaviours of NREM that often come with medicolegal implications.

Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to define and characterize current literature describing salivary biomarker changes with the goal of improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes for sleep apnea.Area Covered: A search of six databases yielded 401 peer-reviewed articles published through October 2019 corresponded to 221 unique references following deduplication. Twenty studies were selected. The sample size ranged from 17 to 99. The samples were mostly whole saliva and selected glandular areas.Expert Opinion: Most targeted studies focused on the level of salivary cortisol and ɑ-amylase. One study used RNA transcriptome analysis of 96 genes. Only two explored novel targets using mass spectrometry. ɑ-amylase, myeloperoxidase, and IL-6 were among those biomarkers found associated with OSA. Cytokeratin, CystatinB, calgranulin A, and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein are upregulated in OSA patients based on non-targeting mass spectrometry. Salivary cortisol and ɑ-amylase and others appeared to be associated with severity of OSA and OSA treatment. There were inconsistencies in saliva collection and processing protocols. More studies are needed in exploring novel biomarkers to examine if these biomarkers are capable of diagnosing and monitoring OSA through proteomics or transcriptomics. Salivary biomarkers have a potential to be a noninvasive measure for the disease diagnosis and treatment outcome monitoring for sleep apnea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary central sleep apnea (PCSA) is believed to be rare and data regarding its prevalence and long-term outcomes are sparse. We used the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP) resources to identify all Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents with an incident diagnosis of PCSA and their clinical outcomes. METHODS We searched the REP database for all residents with polysomnography (PSG)-confirmed diagnoses of central sleep apnea (CSA) between 2007 and 2015. From these, we reviewed the PSGs and medical records to find those who had PCSA based upon accepted diagnostic criteria. Data based on detailed review of the medical records, including all clinical notes and tests were recorded for analysis. RESULTS Of 650 patients identified with CSA, 25 (3.8%; 23 male) had PCSA, which was severe in most patients (n = 16, 64%). Of those, 23 (92%) patients were prescribed and 18/23 (78.2%) adherent to positive airway pressure therapy. Median duration of follow-up was 4.4 years (IQR:4.2). Four (16%) patients were subsequently diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmias, one (4%) with unstable angina, two (8%) with heart failure, five (20%) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)/dementia and two (8%) with depression. Six (25%) patients died (median time to death = 5 years; IQR:4.8), three of whom had Lewy body dementia. CONCLUSIONS In this population-based study, PCSA was rare and when present, was severe in a majority of patients. The mortality rate was high. Most frequently observed disorders during follow-up were mild cognitive impairment (MCI)/dementia followed by cardiac arrhythmias; it is possible that these entities were present and not recognized prior to the diagnosis of PCSA.

Abstract
Sleep problems represent a worldwide health concern among older adults, with an increasing prevalence of multimorbid conditions and a decreased quality of life. However, most elderly patients are not correctly diagnosed due to numerous confounding variables (e.g., medical and psychiatric disorders, polypharmacy, and psychosocial factors) affecting sleep and the confusion regarding the differential diagnosis in older adults between normal changes in sleep pattern as a result of ageing and sleep disorders. There are normal changes to the sleep architecture throughout the lifespan, and sleep disorders are not part of the ageing process; however, there are several sleep disorders that affect older adults. The most prevalent sleep disorder is insomnia, which is found in different forms and affects approximately 30–50% of the older adult population. The treatment strategies for sleep disorders are multivariate, with prescriptions of pharmacological treatments being the most common method among healthcare professionals; however, there is strong evidence that non-pharmacological treatments have better long-term effects. The aim of this review is to explain the difference between sleep disorders and sleep alterations as a result of ageing, to characterise insomnia in older adults, and, finally, to present the different effective non-pharmacological possibilities, accompanied by evidence, for the treatment of insomnia in older adults.

Abstract
Sleep deprivation occurs for many reasons but, when chronic in nature, has many consequences for optimal health and performance. Despite its high prevalence, sleep-disordered breathing is underrecognized and undertreated. This is especially true in the setting of heart failure, where sleep-disordered breathing affects more than 50% of patients. Although the optimal strategy to best identify patients is currently unknown, concerted and consistent efforts to support early recognition, diagnosis, and subsequent treatment should be encouraged. Optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy and concurrent treatment of sleep-disordered breathing are necessary to improve outcomes in this complex high-risk population.
