Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep misperception, EEG characteristics and Autonomic Nervous System activity in primary insomnia: A retrospective study on polysomnographic data
Jana Maes,Johan Verbraecken,M. Willemen,I. De Volder,A. Van Gastel,N. Michiels,I Verbeek,Marie Vandekerckhove,Jan Wuyts,Bart Haex,Tim Willemen,Vasileios Exadaktylos,Arnoud Bulckaert,R Cluydts +13 more
TL;DR: The Primary Insomnia-group overestimated Sleep Onset Latency and this overestimation was correlated with elevated EEG activity, and the strong association found between K-alpha (K-complex within one second followed by 8-12 Hz EEG activity) in Stage2 sleep and a lower parasympathetic Autonomic Nervous System dominance (less high frequency HR) in Slow-wave sleep, further assumes a state of hyperarousal continuing through sleep in Primary Ins insomnia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of sleep-disordered breathing with positional therapy: long-term results.
Jolien Beyers,Olivier M. Vanderveken,Chloé Kastoer,An Boudewyns,I. De Volder,A. Van Gastel,Johan Verbraecken,W. De Backer,Marc J. Braem,P. Van de Heyning,Marijke Dieltjens +10 more
TL;DR: Long-term treatment with the SPT was found to be effective in reducing overall AHI and time spent sleeping in supine position was reduced to almost zero in the continuing users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of residual excessive sleepiness during effective oral appliance therapy for sleep-disordered breathing
Annelies E. Verbruggen,Marijke Dieltjens,Kristien Wouters,I. De Volder,P. Van de Heyning,Marc J. Braem,Olivier M. Vanderveken +6 more
TL;DR: RES under OAm therapy showed a prevalence of up to 32% in SDB patients effectively treated with respect to AHI, and patients with RES were younger and had higher baseline daytime sleepiness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuberculous meningitis in immunocompetent adults: two cases with a clinico-radiological discussion
TL;DR: In developed countries with a low incidence of tuberculosis, infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is easily overlooked as the cause of meningitis in an immunocompetent adult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polysomnographic Predictors of Sleep, Motor, and Cognitive Dysfunction Progression in Parkinson’s Disease
TL;DR: The results of the systematic review support a role of the video-PSG in disease progression prediction in PD and its usefulness as a biomarker, however, future studies are needed to investigate whether treatment of these PSG abnormalities and sleep disturbances may have a neuroprotective effect on disease progression.
