Sonia Ancoli-Israel,Barton W. Palmer,Jana R. Cooke,Jody Corey-Bloom,Lavinia Fiorentino,Loki Natarajan,Lianqi Liu,Liat Ayalon,Feng He,Jose S. Loredo +9 more
TL;DR: Whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure with CPAP in patients with Alzheimer's disease results in better cognitive function is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms prior to chemotherapy for breast cancer

TL;DR: Sleep, fatigue, and circadian rhythms in women with breast cancer before the start of chemotherapy are examined to suggest that strategies to improve disturbed sleep and to phase-advance circadian rhythms prior to initiation of chemotherapy may be beneficial in improving daily function in breast cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-treatment symptom cluster in breast cancer patients is associated with worse sleep, fatigue and depression during chemotherapy.
Lianqi Liu,Lavinia Fiorentino,Loki Natarajan,Barbara A. Parker,Paul J. Mills,Georgia Robins Sadler,Joel E. Dimsdale,Michelle Rissling,Feng He,Sonia Ancoli-Israel +9 more
TL;DR: This study combined three commonly seen pre‐treatment symptoms in cancer patients into one symptom cluster, to explore the associations between pre‐ treatment cluster categories and longitudinal profiles of these same symptoms during chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue and sleep quality are associated with changes in inflammatory markers in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
Lianqi Liu,Paul J. Mills,Paul J. Mills,Michelle Rissling,Michelle Rissling,Lavinia Fiorentino,Loki Natarajan,Joel E. Dimsdale,Joel E. Dimsdale,Georgia Robins Sadler,Barbara A. Parker,Sonia Ancoli-Israel +11 more
TL;DR: Positive relationships between fatigue and sleep, measured both subjectively and objectively, and inflammatory markers in a sample of breast cancer patients before and during chemotherapy suggest that cancer-related fatigue andSleep disturbances may share common underlying biochemical mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insomnia and its treatment in women with breast cancer
TL;DR: There is a need for replication of efficacy studies of cognitive behavioral treatments for insomnia in breast cancer, as well as studies investigating vulnerability, risk and protective factors that might ultimately lead to insomnia prevention programs for use in this population.
