BACKGROUND
Improvements in treatment and management for pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors have increased survival rates, allowing clinicians to focus on long-term sequelae, including sleep disorders. The objective of this study was to describe a series of CNS tumor survivors who had
OBJECTIVE
To examine subjective sleep quality in women aged 50 and older as predicted by cancer status, age, number of comorbidities, and symptoms of depressed mood; and to describe objective sleep characteristics, insomnia symptom severity, and daytime sleepiness.
METHODS
Descriptive.
METHODS
Urban
The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence, pattern and severity of somnolence and fatigue in patients treated with cranial irradiation for primary brain tumours and to identify factors that may influence or mediate symptoms. A detailed prospective study was carried out of 19 patients who
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) among older Iranian patients with cancer and to analyze the effect of chemotherapy treatment on patients' sleep problems. The relationship between sleep disturbances and physical activity,
Morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl are major opioids available as controlled-release morphine (CRM), controlled-release oxycodone (CRO), and transdermal fentanyl (TDF), respectively, in Japan. The authors conducted a retrospective chart review to examine (1) nausea and somnolence on commencement of
OBJECTIVE
Sleep-related complaints are common in cancer survivors. Although daytime sleepiness and sleep duration are associated with poor functional status, quality of life, and mortality in the general population, little is known about these issues in long-term cancer survivors. This study
BACKGROUND
Sleep disturbance is a problem for oncology patients.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate how sleep disturbance and daytime sleepiness (DS) changed from before to six months following surgery and whether certain characteristics predicted initial levels and/or the trajectories of these
The possible relationship between lung cancer and nocturnal intermittent hypoxia, apnea and daytime sleepiness, especially the possible relationship between the occurrence and progression of lung cancer and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was explored. Forty-five cases of primary lung cancer
This study involves the analysis of a secondary outcome of a trial examining whether cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), a wake-promoting medication (armodafinil), or both results in greater improvement in prospectively assessed sleep continuity and daytime sleepiness than a
The proinflammatory cytokines, TNFalpha and IL-6, are elevated in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and have been proposed as mediators of excessive daytime sleepiness in humans. We tested the effects of etanercept, a medication that neutralizes TNFalpha and is approved by the FDA for the treatment of
Childhood craniopharyngiomas are rare embryogenic malformations of the sellar region, presumably derived from Rathke cleft epithelium. The overall survival rates after neurosurgical intervention and/or irradiation are high (92%). However, the quality of survival is frequently impaired due to
Cancer-related drowsiness (CRD) is a distressing symptom in advanced cancer patients (ACP). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and factors associated with severity of CRD. We also evaluated the screening performance of Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale-drowsiness
