We investigated strokes' effects on awareness and cognition from the participants' perspective in four case studies, ages 37-50 (mean = 45). Data is comprised of standardized and open-ended interviews, medical chart reviews, literature reviews, and professional consultations. Although the participants sustained various types of injuries, they reported similar patterns of awareness, perceptions, emotions, and thoughts. These case studies endorse the idea that stroke victims are far more aware of their surroundings than they appear. Their reports indicate active mental processes, such as emotion and thoughts, occurring even while their bodies were unable to respond appropriately. We discuss four areas of …

Over one-third of adults are at risk of developing sleep disorders. Telemedicine is emerging as an effective tool in sleep medicine by allowing people to undergo sleep studies without overnight hospital stays (e.g. monitoring at home). Telemedicine has the potential to overcome several obstacles in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders by offering increased access to sleep specialists, enhancing health-care support for patients in their homes and providing cost-effective professional education. The initial costs for telemedicine equipment and training are not insignificant; however, the benefits may outweigh the expense over time. However, recapturing the initial costs cannot be assumed.

Sleep disorders (SD) affect approximately one-third of the world population. The presence of SDs occurs at all ages although the presentation and subsequent consequences for an individual’s health change in accordance with the natural aging process. Currently, evaluation of SD is inadequate across all age ranges as it is compromised by under reporting and by relying on self-report rather than professional sleep studies (i.e., nocturnal polysomnography (NP) and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT)). Moreover, there is a paucity of data specific to older adults. We constructed a 111-item questionnaire to use in conjunction with NP, MSLT, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale …

Diabetes And Sleep Disorders: The Complex Web Of Intervening Variables, Pennie Seibert
Pennie S. Seibert
Sleep disorders (SDs) are present in approximately 30% of the world population and are associated with prolific health problems. Researchers are beginning to examine relationships shared by SDs and diabetes to illuminate relevant covariance. The extent of these relationships has been constrained by difficulty in acquiring valid data from people whose diagnoses are based on a complete nocturnal polysomnography (NP) and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT). We constructed an 111-item questionnaire to use in conjunction with nocturnal polysomnography studies (NPS), multiple sleep latency tests, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and medical chart reviews of people referred for evaluation of SDs. …
