Study Objectives: Both the (ICSD) and the sleep-wake disorders section of the (DSM) emphasize the importance of clinical judgment in distinguishing the normal from the pathological in sleep medicine. The fourth edition of the DSM (DSM-IV, 1994) introduced the clinical significance criterion (CSC) to standardize this judgment and enhance diagnostic reliability.
Methods: This review conducts a theoretical and historical content analysis of CSC presence, frequency, and formulation in the diagnostic criteria of sleep disorders.
Article Synopsis
- Clozapine is effective for treatment-resistant schizophrenia but can cause significant side effects, notably excessive daytime sleepiness, which is a form of hypersomnolence.
- A systematic review examined how clozapine affects objective measures of hypersomnolence, analyzing six studies using various testing methods like polysomnography (PSG).
- Initial findings showed clozapine led to longer sleep times and quicker sleep onset, but these effects did not last beyond 4-6 weeks, indicating a need for further long-term research on sleep patterns and wakefulness in clozapine-treated patients.
Introduction: We aimed to synthesize the information on the risks and benefits of clozapine prescription for resistant challenging behavior in persons with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Methods: Articles were identified with MEDLINE, Web of Sciences, and PsycINFO search from inception through January 2024. The review was restricted to persons with intellectual disability (ID) and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without comorbid psychotic or affective disorder.
Introduction: Antiseizure medication (ASM) add-on to clozapine may be efficient to target clozapine-resistant mood or psychotic symptoms or clozapine-related adverse drug reactions (ADR) such as seizures. We aimed to synthesize the information relevant for clinical practice on the risks and benefits of clozapine-ASM co-prescription.
Areas Covered: Articles were identified with MEDLINE, Web of Sciences and PsycINFO search from inception through October 2023.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL HYPOTHESES AND DIAGNOSIS OF INSOMNIA DISORDER. All pathophysiological models place hyperarousal as a central process in the mechanisms of insomnia. These models differ, however, in terms of the importance and role of the variables explaining this hyperarousal.
