In the present study, the characteristics of the sleep features of amitriptyline, mexiletine, and N-(4-tertiarybutylphenyl)-4-(3-cholorphyridin-2-yl)tetrahydropyradine-1(2H)-carbox-amide (BCTC) were studied. Electrodes were chronically implanted into the frontal cortex and the dorsal neck muscles of rats for electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) measurements, respectively. EEG and EMG were recorded with an electroencephalograph, and SleepSign ver. 2.0. was used for sleep-wake state analysis. Recordings were performed from 11:00 to 17:00. Amitriptyline caused significant decreases in sleep latency and total wake time and an increase in total non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep time. Mexiletine caused a significant decrease in sleep latency, but no significant effect was observed in total wake time and total non-REM sleep time. On the other hand, BCTC, which is an antagonist of transient receptor potential vaniloid 1 (TRPV1), showed no significant effect on sleep latency, total wake time, total non-REM sleep time, and total REM sleep time. From these results, it can be concluded that a TRPV1 antagonist may become a useful drug for neuropathic pain without sedative side effects in the daytime, different from amitriptyline and mexiletine.

Adjusting the apnea-hypopnea index in children with a low percentage of REM sleep and its potential impact on OSA diagnosis and severity.
J Clin Sleep Med

A decrease in REM time during polysomnography (PSG) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can result in underestimation of apnea hypopnea index (AHI). We propose adjusting AHI to normalized REM% in subjects with REM% ≤15% to avoid under diagnosis of OSA. All children who completed diagnostic PSG from 2016 to 2023 with REM% of ≤ 15% of total TST were selected for adjustment.

It has been observed that diseases such as rhinitis and asthma not only affect the physical health of individuals but can also significantly impact their psychological well-being. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between allergic rhinitis (AR), non-allergic rhinitis (NAR), and asthma with symptoms of depression in adults. Comparative cross-sectional study.

Background: Arthritis is a prevalent and debilitating condition that affects a significant proportion of middle-aged and older adults worldwide. Characterized by chronic pain, inflammation, and joint dysfunction, arthritis can severely impact physical function, quality of life, and mental health. The overall burden of arthritis is further compounded in this population due to its frequent association with depression.

Background: Automatic sleep staging is essential for assessing sleep quality and diagnosing sleep disorders. While previous research has achieved high classification performance, most current sleep staging networks have only been validated in healthy populations, ignoring the impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) on sleep stage classification. In addition, it remains challenging to effectively improve the fine-grained detection of polysomnography (PSG) and capture multi-scale transitions between sleep stages.

Background: Circadian rhythms in the immune system and anti-tumor responses are underexplored in cancer immunotherapy. Despite the success of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in treating advanced biliary tract cancers (BTCs), not all patients benefit. This study examined whether the timing of ICI administration affects outcomes in advanced BTC patients.
