Filter by:Recently, an association between active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and poor sleep quality has been proposed; however, the causal relationship has not yet been established. This study aimed to investigate prevalence of poor sleep quality in IBD and association with disease activity by subjective and objective measures. Prospective observational study is conducted with expected sample size of 100 patients. Participants are classified into active and inactive disease status according to standard IBD severity assessment measures. Demographic data, disease activity, quality of life, sleep questionnaire (validated PSQI questionaire), and seven-day sleep data acquired from ambulatory wrist actigraphy were obtained. Association between sleep quality and disease activity will be analyzed.
A prospective cohort study to evaluate the association between various triggers encountered in daily life and induction of atrial arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia and premature atrial contractions) with the use of long-term monitoring devices. The collected data of personalized triggers and risk factors will be used to define the individual phenotype of atrial arrhythmia.
This clinical trial will compare the diagnostic accuracy of type II HSAT with PSG for determining OSA status following treatment with adenotonsillectomy in children
A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, direct-to-consumer study assessing the impact of plant derived cannabinoids on sleep and overall health outcomes
Disordered sleep is a health issue with significant impacts on physical and psychological well-being that has increased in prevalence, but its impact on transgender adolescents has not been fully quantified. While there is found to be an impact of sex steroids on sleep, and sex-dependent differences in the impact of sleep duration and quality on insulin resistance (IR), there is limited available information regarding the impact of Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) for transgender individuals on sleep and IR. Our study aims to quantify the impacts of GAHT on sleep and IR in the pediatric transgender population as well as determine the degree of correlation of sleep to IR in this population.
Sleep disorders affect 40% of the adult population each year and are often associated with morbidity and mortality (Kripke et al., 2002; F.-Z. Low et al., 2017). Sleep quality plays a vital role in the overall quality of our lives. Therefore, a good sleep helps to create a quality life rhythm. A quality sleep reduces fatigue and increases physical regeneration (Khaleghipour et al., 2015). Poor sleep quality is due to various environmental factors such as temperature, light, noise and bed quality (Lei et al., 2009). It has been reported that 7% of sleep problems are caused by inappropriate mattresses that affect the load on the spine during sleep (F. Z. Low et al., 2017). Body contact pressure is a measure of the distribution of body weight across the body surface in contact with the mattress. A well-designed mattress usually has the ability to minimize high pressure points applied to the body. However, if the bed is not suitable for the person, pressure sores may develop in the body parts where pressure is intense (Cullum et al., 2004). The areas most affected by high pressure are usually the hips, shoulders and back, which can affect sleep quality and result in drowsiness or body stiffness throughout the day (Jacobson et al., 2002). A recent study by Bae and Ko compared the bed positions of hospital beds and found that a head-to-foot angle of 30° is the best position to reduce the likelihood of decubitus ulcers occurring in patients in high-pressure risk areas (Bae & Ko, 2013). In the light of previous studies, it has been observed that there is no study comparing many bed types designed using different materials for individual-specific postures. Biomechanical comparison of these bedding materials in individuals with different posture types and sleeping in different sleeping positions will allow us to provide new insights into their pressure distribution abilities. The aim of this study is to measure the effect of mattresses made of different mattress materials on body contact pressure profiles in individuals with different postures in various sleeping positions. It will be evaluated using maximum body pressure and pressure distribution as outcome measures.
Background and Purpose: Itching is a common complication of hemodialysis patients, which can cause skin damage and affect the patient's comfort. Studies have shown that olive oil is feasible and effective for pain relief, cancer treatment, stroke and cardiovascular disease, as well as wound healing and skin care because it is readily available, natural, and has merely no side effects, and there is no research application on the skin itchiness in hemodialysis patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of applying extra virgin olive oil to improve skin itching, sleep quality and changes in heart rate variability in hemodialysis patients. Research method: This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT), which is divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. Before the interventional measures, a questionnaire pre-test and HRV test are given first, and the interventional measures are given. During the period, in addition to routine care, both groups of patients used a brown roller ball glass bottle containing extra virgin olive oil or normal saline on the itchy skin every 12 hours gently and evenly smeared with fingers , for 28 days, and on the 14th day and 28 days.After intervention, the post-questionnaire test and HRV test were carried out. The research tools include: 5-D 5-D itch scale, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) detector.The data collection results were archived with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical software, and the data were processed and analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square test, generalized estimating equation (GEE) and independent sample t test. Expected results: Result showed using extra virgin olive oil can improvement of skin itchiness and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients, and also cost effectiveness of lotions , reduction of drugs burden on kidneys and improvement of patients' quality of life.
