BACKGROUND Modafinil is a novel wake-promoting agent approved by the FDA ameliorating excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in three disorders: narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder and obstructive sleep apnea. Existing trials of modafinil for fatigue and EDS associated with neurological disorders provided inconsistent results. This meta-analysis was aimed to assess drug safety and effects of moda...

IMPORTANCE In individuals with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection who are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), factors that promote full immune recovery are not well characterized. OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of the timing of ART relative to HIV-1 infection on normalization of CD4+ T-cell counts, AIDS risk, and immune function. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS P...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders. Gastrointestinal manifestations in EDS have been described but their frequency, nature and impact are poorly known. We aimed to assess digestive features in a national cohort of EDS patients.

W read with interest your editorial entitled “Will Physicians Eventually Become Shift Workers?” Apropos to the ideas mentioned there, we would like to mention the email survey we conducted in 2005 of practicing physicians in our area. An IRB approved questionnaire looking at their sleep habits (total sleep time per night, napping, snoring, observed apneas, chronic illness, medication use, caffe...

Appendix A: Properties of EDS grids In this appendix, we characterize the dispersion of points, the number of points, and the degree of uniformity of the constructed EDS. Also, we discuss the relation of our results to recent mathematical literature. A.1 Dispersion of points in EDS grids We borrow the notion of dispersion from the literature on quasi-Monte Carlo optimization methods; see, for e...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are several primary causes for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and sleep disorders in patients with epilepsy. Up to now, studies in the literature report conflicting data in terms of both prevalence and aetiology. The aim of our study was therefore to evaluate the prevalence of EDS and some sleep disorders in a population of patients with epilepsy treated with no...
