Understanding Sleep-wake Disturbances in Dementia with Lewy Bodies Using Parametric and Non-parametric Measures in Wrist Actigraphy
Objective: To assess rest-activity and circadian rhythm stability in Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and their relationship with cognitive, behavioural, and quality of life measures.…Racial Disparities in Hospitalization Characteristics among Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders and Asian American Subgroups with Restless Legs Syndrome
Objective: To determine if patient characteristics differ among Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders (NHPI), Asian American (AA) subgroups, and Whites who were hospitalized with Restless Leg Syndrome…Dysconnectivity Profiles of Raphe Nuclei in Parkinson’s Disease: From Prodromal to Advanced Stage
Objective: To investigate the functional connectivity changes of dorsal raphe (DR) and median raphe (MR) nucleus in patients with PD from the prodromal to advanced…Plasma biomarkers in iRBD patients serve as potential markers of early PD and motor severity
Objective: We aimed to investigate biomarkers of inflammation and neuroaxonal damage in people with isolated REM sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD) compared to controls, and understand…Utilising multiple murine models to investigate sleep and circadian system dysfunction in PD
Objective: We aimed to investigate the impact of alpha-synuclein aggregation and spreading, and nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration on sleep homeostasis and circadian function. Background: Sleep dysfunction…Functional MRI and gait analysis characteristics in patients with idiopathic rem sleep behavior disorder
Objective: The aims of this study were to assess gait analysis, neurological, neuropsychological and resting-state functional MRI (RS-fMRI) functional connectivity (FC) characteristics in iRBD patients…Circadian cycle and disease phenotype in Parkinson’s disease, insights by motion sensors and molecular biology.
Objective: Our aim is to investigate whether the circadian cycle (CC) is linked to the patient Parkinson's disease (PD) profile on a clinical and molecular…POOR SLEEP QUALITY AND OBESITY IN PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON’S: PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF A COHORT STUDY
Objective: Describe the prevalence of overweight and obesity in patients with PD who have poor quality sleep. Background: Sleep disturbances are common and often severe…Automated scoring of REM sleep without atonia using the open-source software RBDtector
Objective: To facilitate quantification of REM sleep without atonia (RSWA) and thereby identify patients with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). Background: RBD…Validation of a wireless Home-Based Sleep Laboratory for assessment of sleep-related disorders in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the validity of a new wireless wearable system which measures EEG, EOG and sEMG for the assessment of sleep and sleep related…
