Introduction: A patient with compromised respiratory system due to some diseases, may have disturbed sleep to a great extent. It has been proved in various community based epidemiologic studies. Though most of such studies available had concentrated on single respiratory disease like COPD or Asthma in the community. But such studies are hardly available for patients attending a respiratory clinic, where all respiratory ailments were evaluated with concurrent sleep problems. The present study is one such. Methods: Total 163 patients were screened and among them 100 were selected as the study group. The patients were enquired with a standard questionnaire provided to them. In addition, they were given seperate questionnaire as STOP BANG, Insomnia Severity Index Score, RLS questionnaire . Those persons with STOP BANG > 5, were also advised for a Polysomnography (PSG) , if not already done. Descriptive statistical analysis has been carried out in the present study. Results: The present study is a cross-sectional depiction of relationships between various respiratory diseases and sleep problems. As per this study, most patients were asthmatic and commonest sleep problem was OSA. A subgroup analysis was done to determine the significance of difference of various parameters between the three groups of asthmatic patients, patients having COPD and the 'Other' group. Discussion: Subjective sleep problems were significantly more in Asthma group than COPD group (p<0.0362). The mean STOP BANG was more in COPD group than the Asthma group (p<0.0301). Though OSA was the commonest sleep problem between the three groups, but the prevalence was not statistically significant between them. More patients in the COPD group had insomnia, but it was not statistically significantly more than in Asthma group. Sleeping pill use was significantly more in COPD group than the Asthma group (p<0.0039). Conclusion: Sleep problems are common in patients with respiratory diseases and OSA is the most common problem according to the present study. Asthma patients had more subjective sleep problems. Sleeping pill use is more common in COPD patients instead of having less subjective sleep complaints than asthma patients.

Background:Consequences of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are many and varied: physical, psycho-affective and financial.Objectives:The objective of our study is to evaluate the impact of RA on sleep quality.Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study including 49 RA patients. An evaluation of sleep quality using the MOS-Sleep Scale was performed.Results:The mean age of patients was 54.1 years, with a female predominance (89.8%). The mean duration of RA was 11.43 ± 7.32 years with a mean time to diagnosis of 2.35 years. Rheumatoid factor was positive in 77.6% of cases. A atlanto-axial dislocation was found in 4.1% of cases and coxitis in 8.2% of cases. All patients were on symptomatic treatment, 57.1% of whom were on corticosteroid therapy. 83.67% of patients were on cs-DMARDs and 14.2% were on biologics. At inclusion, sleep was optimal in 63.2% of cases and the mean Sleep Problem Index was 26.19 ± 22.77.The index of sleep problems was higher in older subjects and in those with long diagnostic delays. The presence of co-morbidities and atlanto-axial dislocation and/or coxitis was associated with impaired sleep quality. Also, VAS pain and EGP were associated with an increase in the sleep problem index. In the multivariate study, EGP, the presence of co-morbidities and atlanto-axial dislocation and/or coxitis were the independent factors affecting sleep quality.Conclusion:The impact of RA on the patient’s quality of life and especially the quality of sleep is confirmed by several studies in the literature. A global management of the patient is necessary in order to adapt well to his disease.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Background: Most women experience sleep problem during pregnancy. Poor sleep can adversely affect health, also impacts critically toward the mother as well as the fetus.Accordingtothepreviousstudies,most of the results state that the sleep problem increases along with the gestational age. Yet, there search which focuses on sleep quality in the second trimester of pregnancy is limited. Objectives: The purpose of studyistodescribesleepqualityofsecondtrimesterpregnantwomenintheSemarang City. Methods: Cross sectional study was conducted in 4 Public Health Centers of Semarang City with purposive sampling in mothers with 20-24 weeks of pregnancy. Number of respondents is 73 pregnant women. Inclusion criteria are pregnant women with 20-24 week of pregnancy, live together with husband, don’t have any chronic illness. The instrument backed up using Sleep Condition Indicator (SCI). Results was divided into 4 criteria namely severe sleep problems, some sleep problems, good shape sleep and great shape sleep. Data analysis was using a computer program. Results:The result of the study shows that those 73 pregnant women are grouped into several categories, most of them are senior high school (64,38%), second pregnancy (37.8%), Islamic religion (98.63%), household care work (71,23%) and early adulthood (63,01%). Furthermore, it shows that most of pregnant women have a good shape sleep (52,05%), while the pregnant women who have some sleep problem are 16,44%. Conclusion: Although the result shows that the percentage of pregnant women who has sleep problem is not as high as the ones who do not, this should not be taken for granted since this problem will influence both the mother’s and the fetus’ health conditions.For further research, it is needed to find the causes of poor sleep quality on pregnant women to solve this problem and to prevent disease which is caused by it.

Background: Sleep problems are a major concern in population working under stress such as resident doctors. Sleep has many health benefits; sleep problems are linked with short and long term adverse health outcomes. Aim was to study sleep pattern, problems and comorbidities among resident doctors. Methods: A cross-sectional study design with a pre-validated sleep assessment proforma was used to collect information on socio-demographics, sleep pattern, sleep problems and comorbidities from 428 resident doctors found eligible for the study. Results: 350 subjects returned the filled proforma (82% response rate). Mean daily sleep hours were 6.21 (SD, 1.39) and work hours 12.77 (SD, 3.63). Sleep time was night in 64.6%, day in 12%, and both in 23.4%. Monthly average of 5.8 night shifts and 2.03 duty offs were found. Visual analogue scale (0-10) mean scores for sleepiness and tiredness were 4.41 (SD, 2.55; 95% CI, 4.14-4.68; P<0.01) and 4.73 (SD, 2.62; 95% CI, 4.45-5.00; P<0.01) respectively. Presence of different symptoms related to sleep problems ranged from 7 to 26% and various problems interfering with sleep ranged from 10 to 25%. Comorbidities such as allergy (29.4%), jerky legs (24.3%), sinus infections (22.8%), restless leg syndrome (16.3%), snoring (8.3%), asthma/lung diseases (5.8%), chronic diseases (3.4%), severe snoring disturbing others (1.8%), and obstructive sleep apnoea (0.9%) were present. Conclusions: Sleep problems were highly prevalent among resident doctors. The resident doctors were sleep-deprived, overworked, tired, excessively sleepy, and had significant presence of factors affecting circadian rhythm and sleep fragmentation. Various comorbidities were also present with varying prevalence.

Introduction: Sleep is an integral part in a child’s health and development. During different stages of development, there are aberrations in normal physiology of sleep which make children more susceptible to various types of sleep problems. This study was conducted to identify sleep pattern and sleep problems in Nepalese children using Nepali translation of Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) screening tool.Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected from parents of children aged 6 to 36 months attending paediatric out-patient clinic for general health check-up from July 2013 to December 2013. Nepali translation of the BISQ was used as a screening tool for sleep problems in this study.Results: The study included 553 children (52.4% boys). Mothers completed the questionnaire in 92% of children. Mean total duration of sleep in 24 hours was 11.7 ±1.7 hours. Respondents reported sleep problem in 16.9% of children whereas 20.3% of children had sleep problems according to BISQ criteria. As per this criteria, 2.7% of children had total sleep duration less than 9 hours, 5.9% of children had total night awakening duration of more than one hour, 13.9% of children had night waking >3 times. These BISQ sleep parameters differed significantly in children with and without sleep problems (p<0.001). In addition, children with sleep problem took longer time to sleep than children without sleep problems (p<0.001).Conclusion: Sleep problems are common in Nepalese infants and toddlers according to the BISQ. Screening for sleep problems is highly recommended during health care visits given the prevalence of sleep problems identified by this study to reduce their potential adverse impact.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2015;35(1):24-30

Background: Industries are sources of environmental pollutants. However, there are few human biomonitoring (HBM) studies in the vicinity of industrial areas. Thus, we evaluate the feasibility of conducting an HBM study to assess exposure to metals in an industrial area in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted near a steel factory. Adults (exposed = 775; controls = 775) were randomly selected and sex-matched. Subjects were interviewed using a questionnaire and a 24 h dietary recall. Blood samples were collected to analyze metal concentrations, blood count, biochemical parameters, and thyroid hormones. The feasibility of the survey was assessed following guidelines. The descriptive analysis was performed for the first 250 participants (pilot study). Results: Adjustments were made to the survey execution, including age-matching, fieldwork team, questionnaire, blood collection, and research awareness. The complete questionnaire was answered by ≥97% of participants; metals were measured in ≥98% and clinical parameters in ≥89%, except thyroid hormones (13–44%). The average age and family income were of 50 years and USD 575/month, respectively. The participants had equal distribution among sexes: 50% had a medium education level, and 59% were nonwhite. Conclusion: This preliminary HBM study demonstrates feasibility for the total population, with results indicating representativeness of the target population.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease on respiratory tract, where airflow are retricted dan chronic inflammation result in bronchial epithelium damage. Pathogenesis mechanism of asthma is influenced by vitamin D as an immunomodulator. The low vitamin D levels can trigger asthmaexacerbations. The study aimed to determine the levels of vitamin D from blood sample in astmatic young adult in compared to non astmatics, to identify the risk of vitamin D deficiency, that can aggravate asthma symptoms. The study used an observational analytic cross sectional design. Subjects were chosenthrough a purposive sampling method. Population was young adults in Surabaya. Subjects were 26 asthmatic patientsdan 26 non-asthmatic young adult in South Surabaya that fulfilled inclusion dan exclusion criteria. The study was conducted in May 2015 to July 2016. The results showed vitamin Dlevels in the asthma group 24.5 ± 2.95 while in the non-asthma group 20.52 ± 2.47. All respondents in both groups had vitamin D levels > 30 ng/mL (normal value), dan there was significant difference between levels of vitamin D in asthma dan non-asthma patients (p < 0.05). Therefore, increasing knowledge about the importance of vitamin D should be done, because it can change behavior through lifestyle, diet dan physical activity in the community.Keywords: asthma, vitamin D

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by disabling fatigue of unknown etiology. The thalamus is a key subcortical structure in sleep disorders and certain cognitive functions previously shown to be impaired in CFS patients. We investigated the association between subjective sleep quality and thalamic size in CFS. Twelve right-handed CFS patients and 12 age-, gender-, and handedness-matched healthy controls completed the Jenkins Sleep Questionnaire in order to assess subjective sleep problems. Thalamic size was determined by MR-based volumetry. More sleep problems correlated with greater total thalamic volume in patients (rP = 0.62, 95% CI 0.07–0.88, p = 0.032) but not in controls (rP = −0.034, p = 0.30). In post hoc analysis, more sleep problems correlated with right thalamic size in patients (rP = 0.70, 95% CI 0.21–0.91, p = 0.012) but not in controls (rP = −0.080, p = 0.81). Our preliminary results provide a basis for further studies on a possible role of the thalamus in sleep complaints and fatigue of patients with CFS.
