Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the prevalence of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in adults with migraines, finding that over half of the participants (58.9%) screened positive for RBD.
- - The analysis involved 751 migraine patients who completed various questionnaires, highlighting that a younger age and specific REM sleep features were significantly linked to a positive RBD screening.
- - The findings indicate frequent RBD symptoms in migraine sufferers, suggesting a need for further research, including sleep studies, to better understand the connection and any underlying mechanisms.
Article Synopsis
- Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) is a sensory disorder causing distorted perceptions, often linked to migraines, but its prevalence among migraine patients is not well understood.
- A study with 808 migraine patients found that 16.5% experienced AIWS symptoms, with various visual distortions being the most common, typically lasting about half an hour.
- The research suggests that AIWS is more prevalent in migraine patients with aura compared to those without, indicating potential shared mechanisms between the two conditions.
Purpose: Physician-scientists play a crucial role in advancing biomedical sciences. Proportionally fewer physicians are actively engaged in scientific pursuits, attributed to attrition in the training and retention pipeline. This national study evaluated the ongoing and longer-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stress levels, research productivity, and optimism for physician-scientists at all levels of training.
