Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

555
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Sleep Apnea01:21

Sleep Apnea

782
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops intermittently during sleep, often leading to significant health issues. Each episode can last from 10 to 20 seconds or more and is frequently accompanied by a brief arousal from sleep. This disturbance, largely unnoticed by the individual, can lead to severe daytime fatigue. Commonly, individuals seek help after being informed by their partners about loud snoring and noticeable breathing pauses during sleep.
The condition is more prevalent among...

Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

9.4K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder01:15

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

2.5K
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.
RBD is significantly associated with...

Sleepwalking and Sleep Talking01:17

Sleepwalking and Sleep Talking

1.5K
Somnambulism, commonly known as sleepwalking, involves individuals engaging in activities ranging from simple walking to more complex behaviors such as driving. Sleepwalking typically occurs during the slow-wave sleep stages 3 and 4 early in the night when the person is not dreaming, contradicting the myth that sleepwalkers are acting out their dreams.
Factors that increase the likelihood of sleepwalking include sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption. Contrary to common beliefs, it is safe...

Management of Insomnia01:19

Management of Insomnia

785
The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming. Insomnia, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves difficulty falling asleep, staying...

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Informatics
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Sleep Medicine

Background:

  • Manual chart review for identifying patient cohorts is time-consuming and inefficient.
  • Accessing discrete data from semi-structured clinical documents like sleep study reports presents a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement an i2b2 (Informatics for Integrating Biology & the Bedside) system for sleep disorder cohort identification.
  • To leverage natural language processing (NLP) for extracting data from semi-structured sleep study reports.

Main Methods:

  • Developed NLP parsers (regular expression and tree-based) to extract numeric and textual concepts from sleep study documents.
  • Organized extracted concepts into i2b2 ontologies using document structure and domain knowledge.
  • Implemented a system for automated cohort identification.

Main Results:

  • Extracted over 26,550 concepts (99% textual) and 1.01 million facts from sleep study documents.
  • Achieved an average terminology parsing accuracy of over 83% compared to expert review.
  • Reduced cohort identification time from weeks to seconds, capturing standard and non-standard terminologies.

Conclusions:

  • NLP is a powerful tool for converting semi-structured clinical data into discrete concepts for cohort identification.
  • The i2b2 platform, combined with NLP and domain-specific ontologies, enables fast and effective interactive cohort identification.
  • This approach enhances research and clinical use by improving data accessibility and analysis efficiency.
