TL;DR: The Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) Scale was developed to measure the level of alertness in subjects who are sedated and was reliable and valid as measured by high correlation between the two raters and high correlations between the OAA/s Scale and two of the three standard tests used in this study.

TL;DR: Physicians and coordinators found the Obeso dyskinesia scale easy to use and especially practical for rating dysKinesia severity and for identifying the most disabling dys kinesia.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that, in many patients, sleep is still disturbed more than six months after substantial clinical recovery from depression, and less homogeneity among formerly depressed patients than is found among controls.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that patients with chronic insomnia may benefit from 30 to 90 days of treatment, and a three‐factor model that separates pharmacologic from behavioral and psychologic effects of hypnotics was proposed to explain these results.

TL;DR: The Neurobehavioral Assessment Scale (NAS) was developed to measure the full range of behavioral functioning from fully alert to deep coma and appears to be better able to discriminate among the different degrees of sedation in lightly sedated patients than the Glasgow Coma Scale.
