In a cross-sectional design to address the effects of the course of depression on rapid-eye-movement (REM) latency, we have matched patients in their first-episode with (1) age-matched patients with recurrent depression, (2) onset-matched patients with recurrent depression, and (3) age-matched normal control subjects. Patients were also matched for sex and treatment site (inpatient or outpatient). No differences were found in REM latency for the three depressed groups, and all had lower REM latency than normals. This finding is taken as support for stable REM latency throughout the course of depression.

January 2025

Department of Respiratory Medicine, School of Medicine, Fujita Health University, 1-98, Dengakugakubo, Kutsukake-cho, Toyoake, Aichi 470-1192 Japan.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the first oral administration of suvorexant affects PSG results in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Single-center, prospective study conducted in a nonrandomized, uncontrolled, unblinded fashion. Undiagnosed 64 patients with suspected OSA underwent first-night PSG, and 30 patients with severe OSA (Apnea Hypopnea Index [AHI] ≥ 30 events/h) underwent second-night PSG testing after administration of 15 mg suvorexant.
