Does Parkinson’s disease affect sleep quality?
...Show More Authors

Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease that is linked to several motor and nonmotor symptoms, including sleep disturbances. Patient quality of life has been shown to be disproportionally impacted by disease. Objectives To investigate sleep quality among individuals with PD, and to assess the severity of sleep disturbances and their impact on daytime activities. Subjects and methods A case‒control with 44 patients with Parkinson’s disease and 80 apparently healthy control participants was recruited from several hospitals and clinics. Each participant provided a thorough medical history and underwent a physical examination, and a questionnaire comprising the standard PSQI was used to assess sleep quality. Independent samples t test and Spearman’s correlation analysis were used with a p value equal to or less than 0.05 which was considered significant. Results The mean global PSQI score was 11.55 ± 4.412 for PD patients and 5.73 ± 3.22 for the control group with significant p value, Sleep latency onset was 75.57 min for PD patients and 22.81 min for the control group with significant p value. There was no significant correlation between age and other sleep-related variables. A total of 86.4% of patients with Parkinson’s disease suffered from varying degrees of daytime dysfunction compared to 61.25% of the controls. Conclusion Parkinson’s disease patients had poorer sleep quality than the controls. Age and sex were not found to be expected as a factor for sleep quality in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Daytime dysfunction rates are high in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Diagnostic potential of salivary interleukin‐17, RANKL, and OPG to differentiate between periodontal health and disease and discriminate stable and unstable periodontitis: A case‐control study
...Show More Authors
Abstract<sec><title>Background and Aims

Limitations of the conventional diagnostic techniques urged researchers to seek novel methods to predict, diagnose, and monitor periodontal disease. Use of the biomarkers available in oral fluids could be a revolutionary surrogate for the manual probing/diagnostic radiograph. Several salivary biomarkers have the potential to accurately discriminate periodontal health and disease. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of salivary interleukin (IL)‐17, receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), RANKL/OPG for differentiating (1) periodontal health from disease and (2) stable a
