“…Kornblith et al found that pain, fatigue and urinary problems, but not insomnia, were associated with HRQoL among 172 prostate cancer patients [17] . Daytime fatigue and low energy have been commonly associated with insomnia among cancer patients, including men with prostate cancer [21,27,32,44,47,49] and are negatively associated with many HRQoL subscales [49] .…”

“…Insomnia is defined as difficulty initiating and/or maintaining sleep, or non-restorative sleep, lasting for at least one month and resulting in clinically significant daytime impairment or distress [30] . Insomnia often goes unrecognised, it can be poorly managed and has negative effects on the HRQoL of cancer patients [29,31,32] . The aim of this review was to investigate the prevalence, risk factors and management of insomnia among men with prostate cancer.…”

Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men and almost half of male cancer survivors in the US have had a prostate cancer diagnosis. Insomnia is common among cancer patients and survivors. There is evidence that cognitive behavioural therapy can be used to effectively manage insomnia among women with breast cancer. The aim of this review was to investigate the prevalence, risk factors and management of insomnia among men with prostate cancer. The effect of insomnia on the psychological health and health-related quality of life of these patients and/or survivors is also discussed. Increased awareness and knowledge of this symptom among men with prostate cancer may facilitate improved diagnosis, and management of insomnia in this large population. This in turn may improve the health-related quality of life of these men. Therefore, research into the effective management of insomnia among men with prostate cancer is essential.Keywords: prostate cancer; insomnia; androgen deprivation therapy; radiotherapy; health-related quality of life; depression; anxiety

“…First, the rats were tested at a fixed-speed rotarod procedure and then on the accelerating rotarod procedure for 2 days. During the testing period, animals were tested at 8 different speeds, including 12,16,19,21,24,26,28, and 38 rpm, for the maximum of 60 s at each speed. Rats experienced the test three times at each speed with an interval of 20 min between each test.…”

“…Such consequences include heightened mortality, morbidity, accidents and errors, absenteeism from work, decreased productivity, and decline in personal and professional relationships [12][13][14]. In addition, neurobehavioral issues such as hyperactivity, emotional swing, aggression, and impaired socialization have been frequently observed in sleep-disrupted children [15].…”

Motor Control in Chronically Sleep-Restricted Rats: A Behavioral Approach

et al. 2018

Objective To consider the effect of chronic sleep restriction (CSR) on motor impairment in sleep-restricted rats. Methods A total of 21 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to three groups including control, grid-floor control and CSR using the modified multiple-platform method. At the end of experiment, motor performance was assessed by means of the rotarod test. Results Performance of the CSR rats in the fixed and accelerating speed rotarod tasks was impaired and their endurance time was less than the control group (p < 0.01). Conclusion The rotarod motor performance of the CSR rats was reduced, suggesting an impaired motor control function following sleep restriction.

“…1 Sleep problems can substantially diminish health-related quality of life and are associated with poor physical and mental health outcomes, including depression, chronic pain, fatigue, obesity, hypertension, endocrine dysfunction, heart disease, cognitive dysfunction, and stroke. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Sleep problems are especially prevalent in individuals living with neurological conditions, including spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS). [8][9][10][11][12][13] There are a number of neurological factors associated with SCI and/or MS that may contribute to sleep problems in these populations.…”

Study Objectives: Sleep problems are common in spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the degree to which sleep problems differ between these distinct clinical populations has not been evaluated. In this study, we examined self-reported sleep problems in individuals with SCI and those with MS, and compared these clinical groups on the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS). Methods: Participants were 1,677 individuals (SCI = 581; MS = 1,096) enrolled in longitudinal study of self-reported health outcomes in SCI and MS. Univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance examined group differences on global sleep problems and domain-specific subscales of the MOS-SS. Results: Individuals with SCI reported an average of 30 fewer min of sleep per night (Sleep Quantity subscale) and significantly greater difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep (Sleep Disturbance subscale) compared to individuals with MS. However, groups did not differ on global sleep problems (Sleep Problems Index 9). Conclusions: Although global sleep problems are more common in SCI and MS than in the general population, these groups exhibit differing sleep problem profiles, and thus may require unique treatment approaches to address the specific domains of sleep affected. For individuals with SCI, an additional focus on increasing sleep quantity and reducing sleep disruptions may be warranted.
