Nocturnal panic involves sudden awakening from sleep in a state of panic characterized by various somatic sensation of sympathetic arousal and intense fear. Many(18-71%) of the spontaneous panic attacks tend to occur from a sleeping state unrelated to the situational and cognitive context. Nocturnal panickers experienced daytime panics and general somatic sensation more frequently than other panickers. Despite frequent distressing symptoms, these patients tend to exhibit little social or occupational impairment and minimal agoraphobia and have a high lifetime incidence of major depression and a good response to tricyclic antidepressants. Sleep panic attacks arise from non-REM sleep, late stage 2 or early stage 3. The pathophysiology and the similarity of nocturnal panic to sleep apnea, dream-induced anxiety attacks, night terrors, sleep paralysis, and temporal lobe epilepsy are discussed.

Smoking is one of the most harmful causes of disease. Many previous researches have shown that cigarette smoking leads to cardiovascular, respiratory, oncologic, and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition to such adverse effects, the literature indicates that cigarette smoking can worsen sleep quality and induce sleep disorders. This review focuses on the relationship between smoking/nicotine and sleep and sleep disorders of insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome. Because smoking is a behavioral pattern that can be changed, it is important to quit smoking to improve overall health and sleep.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop 360° virtual reality videos and common videos for cardiac arrest recognition. Methods: A sequential mixed methods study was conducted, using qualitative interviews (with a total of seven experts) and a quantitative survey. Results: First, the cardiac arrest situation should be developed within 2-3 minutes after witnessing the patient collapse, for each of the four cardiac arrest videos about apnea, gasping, seizure, gasping, and seizure. Second, the education program should be designed so that the education on cardiac arrest recognition can proceed before CPR practice begins. Conclusion: 360° virtual reality videos and common videos for cardiac arrest recognition can play an important role in the education of the general public about cardiac arrest experience.

The pterygomandibular raphe (PMR) is a tendinous structure connecting the bucinator and the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscles. With its implications in the spread of oral cancer, the proper treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, and dental procedures, it is important to obtain a thorough understanding of the PMR. We reviewed the existing literature to compile the published information regarding its anatomy, embryology, imaging, variations, functions, pathologies, and clinical relevance of the pterygomandibular raphe.

The prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity has increased and exacerbated during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, both in Korea and globally. Childhood and adolescent obesity poses significant risks for premature morbidity and mortality. The development of serious comorbidities depends not only on the duration of obesity but also on the age of onset. Obesity in children and adolescents affects almost all organ systems, including the endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, reproductive, nervous, and immune systems. Obesity in children and adolescents affects growth, cognitive function, and psychosocial interactions during development, in addition to aggravating known adult comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and cancer. Childhood and adolescent obesity are highly associated with increased cardiometabolic risk factors and prevalence of metabolic syndrome. The risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in later life can be considerably decreased by even a small weight loss before the onset of puberty. Childhood and adolescent obesity is a disease that requires treatment and is associated with many comorbidities and disease burdens. Therefore, early detection and therapeutic intervention are crucial.

Over the past few decades, there has been a notable increase in the incidence of pediatric obesity, which is a significant public health concern. Children who are obese have a greater risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and adult obesity. Lifestyle modification therapy is typically the initial approach to treat pediatric obesity. For patients who do not achieve success with lifestyle modification therapy alone, pharmacotherapy is the next logical treatment option. When selecting an anti-obesity medication (AOM), it is essential to first ascertain the medical background of the patient, including current medications and obesity-associated comorbidities. Evaluation of obesity phenotypes in patients may also be beneficial. AOMs for pediatric obesity include metformin, orlistat, glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists, phentermine, and the phentermine/topiramate combination. Sufficient lifestyle modification therapy should be administered before considering pharmacotherapy and continued after the initiation of AOM. To ensure healthy development, monitoring growth and puberty development during anti-obesity treatments is essential.

목 적: 임상실제에서 하지불안증후군(restless legs syndrome, RLS) 환자들의 수면다원검사 결과의 특징과 약물치료의 현황을 자연적인 후향성 연구로 조사하는 것이다. 방 법: 임상적으로 RLS의 진단기준을 만족하며 수면다원검사를 시행 받고 치료받은 18세 이상 환자들의 의무기록을 검토하여 분석하였다. 대상자들에 대해 초진시 International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group(IRLSSG)의 4가지 진단기준과 국제하지불안척도(International Restless Legs Scale, IRLS)를 평가하고 야간수면다원검사와 제안부동검사(suggested immobilization test, SIT)를 시행하였고, 도파민효현제로 한 달간 약물치료 후 IRLS를 재평가하였다. 결 과: 분석에 포함된 총 대상자수는 211명으로 남자가 94명(44.5%), 여자가 117명(55.5%)이었고 평균연령은 46.9세였다. 폐쇄성수면무호흡증이 136명(64.5%), PLMD가 53명(25.1%)에서 동반되어 다른 수면장애를 동반한 환자의 수는 185명(87.7%)이었다. 수면다원검사결과 수면효율은 78.0%, 수면중각성시간(wake after sleep onset)는 86.8분, N3는 3.4%였다. 평균 무호흡저호흡지수(apnea hypopnea index)는 시간당 12.4회, PLMS는 시간당 14.8회, SIT 중 PLMW는 시간당 41.2회였다. 수면중 총 각성지수는 시간당 21.6회였다. 전체 환자 중 ropinirole을 복용한 환자는 149명(70.6%), pramipexole을 복용한 환자수는 47명(22.3%)이었고 ropinirole은 평균 0.9 mg(용량범위 0.125~5 mg), pramipexole은 평균 0.5 mg(용량범위 0.125~4 mg)을 사용하였다. Ropinirole의 용량은 연령과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였고(r=0.25, p=0.002), IRLS와도 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.23, p=0.038). IRLS는 초진시 24.9점에서 1달 뒤 13.4점으로 감소하였다. 결 론: 본 연구의 분석결과 임상적으로 RLS 진단이 가능한 환자 중에 다른 수면장애를 동반하는 경우가 대다수였다. PLMD에 해당되는 사람은 25.1%로 기존 보고보다 적었고 평균 PLMS도 시간당 14.8회로 높지 않았다. 사용하는 도파민효현제의 용량은 한국에서 허가용량으로 승인받은 용량보다 더 높은 경우가 많았다. 향후 이 주제에 대한 전향적이고 통제된 대규모의 연구가 필요하다.
