- Abstract
Sleep slow waves are the hallmark of deeper non-rapid eye movement sleep. It is generally assumed that gray matter properties predict slow-wave density, morphology, and spectral power in healthy adults. Here, we tested the association between gray matter volume (GMV) and slow-wave characteristics in 27 patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI, 32.0 ± 12.2 years old, eight women) and compared that with 32 healthy controls (29.2 ± 11.5 years old, nine women). Participants underwent overnight polysomnography and cerebral MRI with a 3 Tesla scanner. A whole-brain voxel-wise analysis was performed to compare GMV between groups. Slow-wave density, morphology, and spectral power (0.4-6 Hz) were computed, and GMV was extracted from the thalamus, cingulate, insula, precuneus, and orbitofrontal cortex to test the relationship between slow waves and gray matter in regions implicated in the generation and/or propagation of slow waves. Compared with controls, TBI patients had significantly lower frontal and temporal GMV and exhibited a subtle decrease in slow-wave frequency. Moreover, higher GMV in the orbitofrontal cortex, insula, cingulate cortex, and precuneus was associated with higher slow-wave frequency and slope, but only in healthy controls. Higher orbitofrontal GMV was also associated with higher slow-wave density in healthy participants. While we observed the expected associations between GMV and slow-wave characteristics in healthy controls, no such associations were observed in the TBI group despite lower GMV. This finding challenges the presumed role of GMV in slow-wave generation and morphology., Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing financial interests., (Copyright © 2024 the authors.)

- Abstract
Background: In traumatic brain injury patients (TBI) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), agitation can lead to accidental removal of catheters, devices as well as self-extubation and falls. Actigraphy could be a potential tool to continuously monitor agitation. The objectives of this study were to assess the feasibility of monitoring agitation with actigraphs and to compare activity levels in agitated and non-agitated critically ill TBI patients., Methods: Actigraphs were placed on patients' wrists; 24-hour monitoring was continued until ICU discharge or limitation of therapeutic efforts. Feasibility was assessed by actigraphy recording duration and missing activity count per day., Results: Data from 25 patients were analyzed. The mean number of completed day of actigraphy per patient was 6.5 ± 5.1. The mean missing activity count was 20.3 minutes (±81.7) per day. The mean level of activity measured by raw actigraphy counts per minute over 24 hours was higher in participants with agitation than without agitation., Conclusions: This study supports the feasibility of actigraphy use in TBI patients in the ICU. In the acute phase of TBI, agitated patients have higher levels of activity, confirming the potential of actigraphy to monitor agitation.

- Abstract
This study aimed to progress the understanding of idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) by assessing the moderating influence of individual characteristics, such as age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) on sleep architecture. In this retrospective study, 76 IH participants (38.1 ± 11.3 years; 40 women) underwent a clinical interview, an in-laboratory polysomnography with a maximal 9-h time in bed and a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). They were compared to 106 healthy controls (38.1 ± 14.1 years; 60 women). Multiple regressions were used to assess moderating influence of age, sex, and BMI on sleep variables. We used correlations to assess whether sleep variables were associated with Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores and mean sleep onset latency on the MSLT in IH participants. Compared to controls, IH participants had shorter sleep latency (p = 0.002), longer total sleep time (p < 0.001), more time spent in N2 sleep (p = 0.008), and showed trends for a higher sleep efficiency (p = 0.023) and more time spent in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (p = 0.022). No significant moderating influence of age, sex, or BMI was found. More severe self-reported sleepiness in IH patients was correlated with shorter REM sleep latency and less N1 sleep in terms of proportion and duration (ps < 0.01). This study shows that, when compared to healthy controls, patients with IH had no anomalies in their sleep architecture that can explain their excessive daytime sleepiness. Moreover, there is no moderating influence of age, sex, and BMI, suggesting that the absence of major group differences is relatively robust., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Study Objectives: Apolipoprotein E ɛ4 (APOE4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In addition, APOE4 carriers may exhibit sleep disturbances, but conflicting results have been reported, such that there is no clear consensus regarding which aspects of sleep are impacted. Our objective was to compare objective sleep architecture between APOE4 carriers and non-carriers, and to investigate the modulating impact of age, sex, cognitive status, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)., Methods: A total of 198 dementia-free participants aged >55 years old (mean age: 68.7 ± 8.08 years old, 40.91% women, 41 APOE4 carriers) were recruited in this cross-sectional study. They underwent polysomnography, APOE4 genotyping, and a neuropsychological evaluation. ANCOVAs assessed the effect of APOE4 status on sleep architecture, controlling for age, sex, cognitive status, and the apnea-hypopnea index. Interaction terms were added between APOE4 status and covariates., Results: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep percentage (F = 9.95, p = .002, ηp2 = 0.049) and duration (F = 9.23, p = .003, ηp2 = 0.047) were lower in APOE4 carriers. The results were replicated in a subsample of 112 participants without moderate-to-severe OSA. There were no significant interactions between APOE4 status and age, sex, cognitive status, and OSA in the whole sample., Conclusions: Our results show that APOE4 carriers exhibit lower REM sleep duration, including in cognitively unimpaired individuals, possibly resulting from early neurodegenerative processes in regions involved in REM sleep generation and maintenance., (© The Author(s) 2024.

- Abstract
Introduction: Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), meal preparation may become challenging as it involves multiple cognitive abilities and sub-tasks. To support this population, the Cognitive Orthosis for coOKing (COOK) was developed in partnership with an alternative residential resource for people with severe TBI. However, little is known about the usability of this technology to support people with TBI living in their own homes., Methods: A usability study was conducted using a mixed-methods single-case design with a 35-year-old man with severe TBI living alone at home. The number of assistances provided, time taken and the percentage of unnecessary actions during a meal preparation task were documented nine times to explore the usability of COOK. Interviews were also conducted with the participant to document his satisfaction with COOK. Potential benefits were explored via the number of meals prepared per week., Results: The usability of COOK was shown to be promising as the technology helped the participant prepare complex meals, while also reducing the number of assistances needed and the percentage of unnecessary actions. However, several technical issues and contextual factors influenced the efficiency and the participant's satisfaction with COOK. Despite improving his self-confidence, COOK did not help the participant prepare more meals over time., Conclusion: This study showed that COOK was easy to use and promising, despite technical and configuration issues. Results suggest the importance of further technological developments to improve COOK's usability and fit with the needs of people with TBI living in their own homes.

- Abstract
Patients with idiopathic hypersomnia frequently report having unrefreshing naps. However, whether they have abnormal sleep architecture during naps that may explain their unrefreshing aspect is unknown. We compared sleep architecture during short daytime naps in patients with idiopathic hypersomnia reporting unrefreshing and refreshing naps. One-hundred and thirty-four patients tested with one-night polysomnography, followed by an adapted version of the Multiple Sleep Latency Test with four naps, were included. They were asked about the refreshing aspect of their habitual naps during a clinical interview. They were classified as having objective (Multiple Sleep Latency Test ≤ 8 min) or subjective idiopathic hypersomnia (Multiple Sleep Latency Test > 8 min), and as presenting refreshing or unrefreshing naps. We tested Group differences (refreshing versus unrefreshing naps) on nap sleep architecture in the whole sample and for subjective and objective idiopathic hypersomnia subgroups separately using ANCOVAs. No Group effects were observed in the Multiple Sleep Latency Test architecture in the whole sample and in objective and subjective idiopathic hypersomnia subgroups. This study provides preliminary evidence that reporting unrefreshing naps is not associated with clinically significant findings in Multiple Sleep Latency Test sleep architecture in patients with idiopathic hypersomnia. Given that naps taken by patients with idiopathic hypersomnia are typically long, future studies should investigate longer daytime sleep episodes., (© 2024 The Author(s).

- Abstract
Introduction: The limbic system is critical for memory function and degenerates early in the Alzheimer's disease continuum. Whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with alterations in the limbic white matter tracts remains understudied., Methods: Polysomnography, neurocognitive assessment, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed in 126 individuals aged 55-86 years, including 70 cognitively unimpaired participants and 56 participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). OSA measures of interest were the apnea-hypopnea index and composite variables of sleep fragmentation and hypoxemia. Microstructural properties of the cingulum, fornix, and uncinate fasciculus were estimated using free water-corrected diffusion tensor imaging., Results: Higher levels of OSA-related hypoxemia were associated with higher left fornix diffusivities only in participants with MCI. Microstructure of the other white matter tracts was not associated with OSA measures. Higher left fornix diffusivities correlated with poorer episodic verbal memory., Discussion: OSA may contribute to fornix damage and memory dysfunction in MCI., Highlights: Sleep apnea-related hypoxemia was associated with altered fornix integrity in MCI. Altered fornix integrity correlated with poorer memory function. Sleep apnea may contribute to fornix damage and memory dysfunction in MCI., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Challenging behaviours are a long-term burden for people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their families. Families frequently shoulder the responsibility alone, but little is known about the strategies they use to manage these behaviours. This study aimed to 1) identify the coping strategies used by people with TBI living in the community and their family caregivers to manage challenging behaviours; and 2) describe the similarities and differences between strategies used by people with TBI and caregivers. In this qualitative descriptive design, individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with adults with TBI and their caregivers and were inductively analyzed. The sample included 10 dyads and two triads, totalling 12 caregivers (8 women) and 14 individuals with TBI (6 women; 21.71 ± 10.84 years post-injury). Participants' strategies were proactive (prevention), reactive (response), or retroactive (aftercare). Most strategies were described by caregivers. Some of them were effective and lasting, others not, reflecting how they adapted their approaches over time. Families put in place various strategies in their life's journey, such as giving feedback or adapting the environment. Despite these strategies supporting long-term community living, the need for ongoing support is underscored, as crises may still occur, impacting families' quality of life.

- Abstract
Challenging behaviours significantly impact the lives of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their family caregivers. However, these behaviours are rarely defined from the perspectives of both individuals, a necessary step to developing interventions targeting meaningful goals for individuals and caregivers. This study aimed to (1) explore and confirm the perspective of individuals with TBI living in the community and their family caregivers on behaviours they consider challenging and, (2) identify overlapping or distinct views on challenging behaviours. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Twelve caregivers (8 females; 59.67 ± 11.64 years old) and 14 participants with mild-severe TBI (6 females; 43.21 ± 10.98 years old; time post-injury: 21.71 ± 10.84 years) were interviewed (10 dyads and two triads). Data were analysed using inductive qualitative analysis. Challenging behaviours most frequently reported by all participants were aggressive/impulsive behaviours, inappropriate social behaviours, and behavioural manifestations of cognitive impairments. Overlapping perspectives were identified regarding aggressive behaviours. Distinctions exist as inappropriate social behaviours and cognitive difficulties were mainly reported by caregivers. Our results confirm that perspectives may vary between dyad members. Interventions should include dyad inputs to formulate goals that are significant to the person with TBI and their caregiver.

- Abstract
Research on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and cognitive functioning has yielded conflicting results, particularly in the older population, and moderators of this association have rarely been studied. Here we investigated the cross-sectional association between obstructive sleep apnea and cognitive functioning as well as the moderating effect of age, sex, apolipoprotein E4, and obesity on this association among community-dwelling older people. We analysed data from 496 participants (71.4 ± 4.4 years; 45.6% men) of the HypnoLaus study who underwent polysomnography and a battery of neuropsychological tests. The sample was categorised as no-to-mild obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index 0-14.9/h; reference), moderate obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index 15.0-29.9/h), or severe obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index ≥30/h). Regression and moderation analyses were performed with adjustment for confounders. Apolipoprotein E4 and obesity moderated the association between severe obstructive sleep apnea and processing speed, whereas no moderating effects were found for age and sex. In apolipoprotein E4 carriers only, severe obstructive sleep apnea was associated with lower performance in Stroop condition 1 (B = 3.13, p = 0.024). In obese participants only, severe obstructive sleep apnea was associated with lower performance in Stroop condition 1 (B = 3.02, p = 0.025) and Stroop condition 2 (B = 3.30, p = 0.034). Severe obstructive sleep apnea was also associated with lower executive function in the whole sample according to Stroop condition 3 (B = 3.44, p = 0.020) and Stroop interference score (B = 0.24, p = 0.006). Our findings support associations of severe obstructive sleep apnea (but not moderate obstructive sleep apnea) with lower performance in processing speed and executive function in the older general population. Apolipoprotein E4 and obesity appear to be vulnerability factors that strengthen the association between severe obstructive sleep apnea and lower performance in processing speed., (© 2023 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: Music is increasingly used with youths in health and psychosocial interventions. We conducted a scoping review with the aim to provide an overview of the current available evidence on music intervention for youth in mental health settings, to inform practice and further research., Methods: Three databases (PsycINFO, PubMed and CINAHL) were surveyed. Using the PRISMA review method, 23 studies met inclusion criteria., Results: Young people aged from 4 to 25 years old with various mental health conditions participated in music interventions. Music therapy was the most investigated (71%). Improving social skills was the most frequent therapeutic aim addressed. Music interventions are mostly appreciated by the participants, but it is difficult to make conclusions about their effectiveness because of the heterogeneity of research designs and the limited current state of research., Conclusion: Music interventions appear to represent a promising complementary approach to usual psychiatric care, but further standardised research is necessary to continue investigating their therapeutic effects.
