Does age matter? A mixed methods study examining determinants of good recovery and resilience in young and middle-aged adults following moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury
Recovery and resilience after TBI
(Wiley, 2017-07-05)
Aim: To examine whether age contributes to functional recovery and resilience after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Background: The ability to recover from TBI may change across the lifespan, but the ...
Parallel recovery of consciousness and sleep in acute traumatic brain injury
(American Academy of Neurology, 2017)
Objective: To investigate whether the progressive recuperation of consciousness was associated
with the reconsolidation of sleep and wake states in hospitalized patients with acute traumatic
brain injury (TBI).
Methods: ...
Sleep in the acute phase of severe traumatic brain injury : a snapshot of polysomnography
Sleep and traumatic brain injury
(SAGE, 2015-12-23)
Background and Objectives. The onset of pervasive sleep-wake disturbances associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is poorly understood. This study aimed to (a) determine the feasibility of using polysomnography in ...
Visual fixation in the intensive care unit: a strong predictor of post-traumatic amnesia and long-term recovery after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury
Visual fixation in the ICU
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2016-12-01)
Objective: We examined whether visual fixation at 24h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission is superior to the initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score to predict PTA duration and long-term TBI recovery. Design: Two-phase ...
Sleep and wake disturbances following traumatic brain injury
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major health concern in industrialised countries. Sleep and
wake disturbances are among the most persistent and disabling sequelae after TBI. Yet,
despite the widespread complaints of ...
Are NREM sleep characteristics associated to subjective sleep complaints after mild traumatic brain injury?
Sleep after mild TBI
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
Sleep complaints are common after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). While recent find-ings suggest that sleep macro-architecture is preserved in mTBI, features of non-rapid eye movement(NREM) sleep micro-architecture ...
Regional cerebral blood flow during wakeful rest in older subjects with mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea
Cerebral perfusion in OSA
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Objectives: To evaluate changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during wakeful rest in older
subjects with mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and healthy controls, and to identify
markers of OSA severity ...
Sleep-wake disturbances in hospitalized patients with traumatic brain injury: association with brain trauma but not with an abnormal melatonin circadian rhythm
(Oxford University Press, 2019-09-28)
Study Objectives: To test whether the sleep-wake cycle disruption in patients hospitalized with
traumatic brain injury (TBI) 1) is also found in patients with traumatic injuries other than TBI (nonTBI); and 2) is associated ...
Towards a better understanding of increased sleep duration in the chronic phase of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury : an actigraphy study
(Elsevier, 2018-11-28)
Introduction
Most adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) report persistent sleep-wake disturbances. Whether these complaints are either associated with abnormal sleep-wake patterns or can be explained ...
Biomarkers of dementia in obstructive sleep apnea
(Elsevier, 2018-08-13)
Epidemiologic and mechanistic evidence is increasingly supporting the notion that obstructive sleep
apnea is a risk factor for dementia. Hence, the identification of patients at risk of cognitive decline due
to obstructive ...
