AI Article Synopsis

  • - Sleep disorders are linked to an increased risk of stroke and can worsen outcomes for stroke patients, with many experiencing various sleep issues after a stroke.
  • - The review gathered data from numerous studies to analyze the connection between sleep disorders like insomnia, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea and their implications for stroke.
  • - Guidelines recommend screening for sleep disorders in stroke patients, suggesting that addressing these disorders might help lower stroke risk and improve recovery outcomes, pending further clinical research.

Article Abstract

Background And Purpose: Sleep disorders are increasingly implicated as risk factors for stroke, as well as a determinant of stroke outcome. They can also occur secondary to the stroke itself. In this review, we describe the variety of different sleep disorders associated with stroke and analyze their effect on stroke risk and outcome.

Methods: A search term-based literature review ("sleep," "insomnia," "narcolepsy," "restless legs syndrome," "periodic limb movements during sleep," "excessive daytime sleepiness" AND "stroke" OR "cerebrovascular" in PubMed; "stroke" and "sleep" in ClinicalTrials.gov) was performed. English articles from 1990 to March 2023 were considered.

Results: Increasing evidence suggests that sleep disorders are risk factors for stroke. In addition, sleep disturbance has been reported in half of all stroke sufferers; specifically, an increase is not only sleep-related breathing disorders but also periodic limb movements during sleep, narcolepsy, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder, insomnia, sleep duration, and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders. Poststroke sleep disturbance has been associated with worse outcome.

Conclusion: Sleep disorders are risk factors for stroke and associated with worse stroke outcome. They are also a common consequence of stroke. Recent guidelines suggest screening for sleep disorders after stroke. It is possible that treatment of sleep disorders could both reduce stroke risk and improve stroke outcome, although further data from clinical trials are required.

Multimodal sleep staging network based on obstructive sleep apnea.

Front Comput Neurosci

December 2024

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing, China.

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.

First Episode Psychosis in a Teen with Narcolepsy and Cataplexy.

Psychopharmacol Bull

January 2025

Abhishek Reddy, MD, Assistant Professor, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Sleep Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, Roanoke, VA, United States.

Narcolepsy with cataplexy (NT1) is a sleep disorder very rarely associated with early-onset psychosis. The incidence of this association is unknown but appears to be more common in children and adolescents. This combination of diagnoses presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

Introduction: The diagnosis of diseases known as synucleinopathies, Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Lewy body dementia (DLB), is predominantly based on clinical criteria. However, diagnostic uncertainty may persist until late in the disease process leading to delays in diagnosis and medical mismanagement. Skin biopsy detection of phosphorylated alpha-synuclein (P-SYN) is a sensitive and specific technique that increases diagnostic sensitivity of synucleinopathies, although the clinical utility of this test has not been fully explored.
