Method of calculating the index of crisis of gratification has been developed on the basis of the complete survey of 995 students of medical university and 804 students of engineering university, determination of clinical and social parameters and factors related to the process of education in the specialized university. It included: a scale for the assessment of the degree of intellectual intensity, academic performance, stress situations related to the peculiarities of education. Reliable differences in values between groups of healthy students, students with preclinical and clinical forms of mental disorders are revealed as a result of calculation of the index of gratification. The authors conclude that satisfaction with the results of education has a significant impact on the mental health of university students.

Objective We administered a questionnaire survey to a working population in an attempt to clarify the relationships between self-reported nasal obstruction, observed apnea during sleep, and daytime sleepiness. Study Design A total of 7980 daytime workers were asked to complete questionnaires about nasal obstruction, apnea during sleep, and daytime sleepiness. Of the 7702 responses, the data from 4818 subjects were analyzed. Nasal obstruction and observed apnea were graded into 3 categories. Daytime sleepiness was assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Results Subjects with chronic nasal obstruction had 5.22 and 2.17 times higher odds for having habitual observed apnea and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), respectively, compared with those without nasal obstruction ( P < 0.001). After adjusting for 3 potential confounding factors (age, sex, and body mass index) and the presence of habitual observed apnea, odds ratios for having EDS decreased, but still remained significant. Conclusion Nasal obstruction is likely to cause daytime sleepiness, at least in part, by causing sleep-disordered breathing including apnea during sleep.

This report presents an analysis of the complaints of increasing daytime sleepiness as well as a study on their possible effects on the academic performance of medical students at the University of Brasilia. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale was applied to 172 medical students, at the beginning of August 1997 and at the end of November 1997. Academic performance was measured by analyzing the number of SS grades (from 9.0 to 10 over ten) and MM grades (from 5.0 to 6.9) attained in exams at the end of that school period. The results showed that at the beginning of the semester, 68 (39.53%) of these 172 students already presented with excessive daytime sleepiness, and that of the 104 remaining students, 38 (22%) developed daytime sleepiness by the end of the semester. Furthermore, it was observed that the sleepier students did not achieve as well as the others on their final examinations.
