商品描述

Sleep disorders are very common among women during their lifespan, presenting in isolation or in combination with other illnesses particularly psychiatric and neurologic disorders. Pregnancy-related sleep disorders pose an interesting dilemma as this is a transient phase; these are associated with potential long-term effects on maternal and fetal health. Menopause and pre-menopausal stages lead to a significant change in sleep architecture, sometimes associated with insomnia with or without sleep related breathing disorder. Sleep architecture in men and women varies due to significant hormonal differences between the genders. However, sleep complaints are disproportionately higher among women.


This book presents 20 clinical cases to understand the differences in presentation of symptoms and treatment options for various sleep disorders that are more commonly noted among women. These cases cover a spectrum of sleep related breathing disorders, sleep related movement disorders, hypersomnias, parasomnias, issues of sleep fragmentation leading to insomnia in association with hormonal changes and some unique cases encountered in our clinical practices.

This compilation of interesting clinical cases presents trainees and experienced physicians with a useful guide to assist in their clinical practices and will stimulate further research and studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

睡眠障礙在女性的一生中非常常見,可以單獨出現,也可以與其他疾病特別是精神和神經疾病結合。與懷孕相關的睡眠障礙帶來了一個有趣的困境,因為這是一個暫時的階段;這些障礙與母親和胎兒健康的潛在長期影響有關。更年期和預更年期階段會導致睡眠結構的顯著變化,有時伴隨失眠症或伴有或不伴有與睡眠相關的呼吸障礙。男性和女性的睡眠結構因性別之間的顯著荷爾蒙差異而有所不同。然而,女性的睡眠問題比例較高。

本書提供了20個臨床案例,以了解女性中常見的各種睡眠障礙的症狀表現和治療選擇的差異。這些案例涵蓋了一系列與睡眠相關的呼吸障礙、睡眠相關運動障礙、過度睡眠、夢遊症、與荷爾蒙變化相關的睡眠碎片化引起的失眠問題,以及我們臨床實踐中遇到的一些獨特案例。

這本有趣的臨床案例彙編為初學者和有經驗的醫生提供了一個有用的指南,以幫助他們的臨床實踐,並將刺激進一步的研究和研究。
