Evening chronotype, insufficient weekday sleep, and weekday-weekend gap in sleep times: What is really to blame for a reduction in self-perceived health among university students?

The association of insufficient sleep with reduced self-perceived health was previously well established. Moreover, it was sometimes shown that the indicators of poorer health were significantly related to chronotype and weekday-weekend gaps in sleep timing and duration. It remains to be elucidated, however, whether chronotype and these gaps can contribute to the reduced health self-ratings independently from shortened sleep duration or, alternatively, their relationship with health can be simply explained by their association with insufficient sleep on weekdays.

[The modification of predictors of course of acute period of craniocerebral trauma under implementation of stream model of medical care support].

The specificity of course of acute period of craniocerebral injury and organization of medical care support are the factors determining outcomes for this category of patients. The purpose of the study is to investigate changes in predictors of course of acute period course of craniocerebral injury under implementation of stream model of medical care organization. The sampling included 150 patients with moderate and severe craniocerebral injury based on data obtained in 2013 and 2019, respectively.

[The short-term prognostication of characteristics of course and optimization of tactics of medical care support of patients with epilepsy].

In clinical practice the identification of the dynamics of course of focal epilepsies on the basis of available clinical and neurophysiological indices (prognostication) is of great importance. The purpose of the study is the short-term prognostication of the course of focal frontal and temporal epilepsy. The materials and methods.

Differences between male and female university students in sleepiness, weekday sleep loss, and weekend sleep duration.

Introduction: Women and men experience sleep differently and the difference in intrinsic desire for sleep might underlie some of the observed male-female differences. The objective of this cross-sectional questionnaire study of university students was to determine male-female differences in self-reported sleepiness and sleep-wake patterns.

Methods: Five questionnaires were completed by 1650 students at four Russian universities.
