Are hallucinations common in narcolepsy patients?
Yes. Both Hypnagogic (just before sleep) and Hypnopompic (with awakening).
Define Cataplexy.
Sudden collapse (falls asleep) while awake.
Define Sleep Apnea.
Person stops breathing for at least 10 seconds during sleep.
Distinguish between central and obstructive sleep apnea.
- In central sleep apnea, no respiratory effort.
- In Obstructive sleep apnea, respiratory effort against airway obstruction.”
Does narcolepsy have a genetic component?
Yes
Does REM sleep increase or decrease with age?
Decreases
Extraocular movements during REM sleep are due to what portion of the brain?
- Parapontine Reticular Formation
- Conjugate Gaze Center
How often does REM sleep occur?
Every 90 minutes (duration may increase during the night)
Name 1 neurotransmitter change associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Decreased Ach
Name 1 neurotransmitter change associated with Parkinson’s disease.
Decreased Dopamine
Name 1 neurotransmitter change associated with Schizophrenia
Increased Dopamine
Name 2 effects of stress on the body.
- Induces production of FFA, 17-OH corticosteroids, lipids, cholesterol, and catecholamines
- Affects water reabsorption, muscular tonicity, gastrocolic reflex, and mucosal circulation.
Name 2 neurotransmitter changes associated with depression.
Decreased NE and Serotonin (5-HT)
Name 2 neurotransmitter changes associated with Huntington’s disease.
Decreased GABA and Ach
Name 3 changes in sleep stages often found in people with depression.
- Reduced slow-wave sleep
- Decreased REM latency
- Early morning awakening (important screening question!)
Name 3 possible findings in non-REM sleep.
“Sleepwalking, night terrors, and bedwetting”
Name 4 physiological actions found in REM sleep.
- Increased/variable pulse
- rapid eye movements
- increased/variable blood pressure
- penile/clitoral tumescence
Name 5 possible findings in REM sleep.
- Dreaming,
- loss of motor tone
- possible memory processing function
- erection
- increased brain O2 use
Name 5 possible waveform patterns seen in the various sleep/wake stages.
- Alpha, Beta (highest frequency, lowest amplitude)
- Theta, Delta (lowest frequency, highest amplitude)
- Sleep spindles with K-complexes
Name 7 functions of the Frontal lobe.
Concentration, Orientation, Language, Abstraction, Judgment, Motor regulation, Mood
Name 1 possible chronic outcome of sleep apnea.
Chronic fatigue
Name 5 findings associated with sleep apnea
Obesity, loud snoring, systemic/pulmonary HTN, arrhythmias, and possibly sudden death.
What 3 things does the differential diagnosis for sexual dysfunction include?
- Drugs (e.g. antiHTN, neuroleptics, SSRIs, and ethanol)
- Diseases (e.g. depression and diabetes)
- Psychological (e.g. performance anxiety)
What is a common treatment for narcolepsy?
Stimulants (e.g. Amphetamines)
