OBJECTIVE: Although seizures are the cardinal feature, epilepsy is associated with other forms of brain dysfunction including impaired cognition, abnormal sleep, and increased risk of developing dementia. We hypothesized that, given the widespread neurologic dysfunction caused by epilepsy, accelerated brain aging would be seen. We measured the sleep-based brain age index (BAI) in a diverse group of patients with epilepsy. The BAI is a machine learning-based biomarker that measures how much the...

CONCLUSION: A bibliometric analysis was performed to describe the trends and hotspots of research in women with PCOS and depression to attract the attention of more researchers to this topic.

CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that individuals with OSAS may have an increased prevalence of OA, with aging also being involved in the association.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a widespread disease, but usually is an underdiagnosed and undertreated public health problem. Nowadays its study is expensive. Collaboration and involvement of all specialties are necessary, also the implementation of simplified diagnostic methods to try to improve detection, increase the diagnosis and treatment ratio. In the Osona region (Barcelona), it has been developed a protocol that defines a new care process that shortens and reduces the cost of the OSA's...
