The impact of poor sleep on cognition and activities of daily living after traumatic brain injury : a review
Sleep and everyday activities after TBI
(Wiley, 2014)
Background/aim : Patients frequently report sleep disrup-tions or insomnia during their hospital stay, particularlyafter a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The consequences ofthese sleep disturbances on everyday activities ...
Gray matter hypertrophy and thickening with obstructive sleep apnea in middle-aged and older adults
Gray matter increases with obstructive sleep apnea
(American Thoracic Society, 2017-06-01)
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea causes intermittent hypoxemia, hemodynamic fluctuations,
and sleep fragmentation, all of which could damage cerebral gray matter that can be indirectly
assessed with neuroimaging.
Objectives: ...
Moderate to severe acute pain disturbs motor cortex intracortical inhibition and facilitation in orthopedic trauma patients : a TMS study
(Public library of science, 2020-03-20)
Objective
Primary motor (M1) cortical excitability alterations are involved in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Less is known about M1-cortical excitability implications in the acute phase of an orthopedic ...
Sleep slow waves’ negative-to-positive-phase transition : a marker of cognitive and apneic status in aging
(Oxford University Press, 2022-10-11)
The sleep slow-wave (SW) transition between negative and positive phases is thought to mirror synaptic strength and likely depends
on brain health. This transition shows signifcant age-related changes but has not been ...
Investigating the incidence and magnitude of heterotopic ossification with and without joints involvement in patients with a limb fracture and mild traumatic brain injury
(Elsevier, 2019-08-13)
Objectives: This study seeks to evaluate the incidence rate of heterotopic ossification (HO) formation in patients
afflicted by an isolated limb fracture (ILF) and a concomitant mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Methods: ...
A longitudinal investigation of sleep and daytime wakefulness in children and youth with concussion
(SAGE, 2019-01-10)
A high proportion of adults who sustain a concussion identify changes in their sleep during the acute stage, typically
reporting an increased need for sleep or nonrestful sleep. Our understanding of sleep following ...
Sleep oscillation-specific associations with Alzheimer’s disease CSF biomarkers : novel roles for sleep spindles and tau
(BMC, 2019-02-21)
Background: Based on associations between sleep spindles, cognition, and sleep-dependent memory processing,
here we evaluated potential relationships between levels of CSF Aβ42, P-tau, and T-tau with sleep spindle ...
Effects of menopause on sleep quality and sleep disorders : Canadian longitudinal study on aging
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2020-02-29)
OBJECTIVES:Sleep complaints are common during the menopause transition. However, it is difficult to disentangle changes in sleep related to aging from those directly due to menopause. We compared sleep disorders in 45 to ...
Sleep spindles are resilient to extensive white matter deterioration
(Oxford University Press, 2020-06-13)
Sleep spindles are an essential part of non-rapid eye movement sleep, notably involved in sleep consolidation, cognition, learning
and memory. These oscillatory waves depend on an interaction loop between the thalamus and ...
Cerebral white matter diffusion properties and free‐water with obstructive sleep apnea severity in older adults
(Wiley, 2020-03-13)
Characterizing the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the aging brain could be key in our understanding of neurodegeneration in this population. Our objective was to assess white matter properties in newly diagnosed ...
