Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Sleep medicine is a medical subspecialty devoted to the diagnosis and therapy of sleep disturbances and disorders. From the middle of the 20th century, research has provided increasing knowledge and answered many questions about sleep-wake functioning.[1] The rapidly evolving field[2] has become a recognized subspecialty within several medical specialties, and dental sleep medicine also qualifies for board certification in some countries. Properly organized, minimum 12-month, postgraduate training programs are still being defined in the United States.[3][4] In some countries, the sleep researchers and the doctors who treat patients may be the same people.

The first sleep clinics in the United States were established in the 1970s by interested doctors and technicians; the study, diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea were their first tasks. As late as 1999, virtually any American doctor, with no specific training in sleep medicine, could open a sleep laboratory.[5]

Disorders and disturbances of sleep are widespread and can have significant consequences for affected individuals as well as economic and other consequences for society.[6][7][8][9] The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has, according to Dr. Charles Czeisler, discovered that the leading cause of fatal-to-the-driver heavy truck crashes is fatigue-related (fatigue 31%, alcohol and other drug use 29%),[10] and sleep deprivation has been a significant factor in dramatic accidents, such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the nuclear incidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger.[11]

Competence in sleep medicine requires an understanding of a plethora of very diverse disorders, many of which present with similar symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, which, in the absence of volitional sleep deprivation, "is almost inevitably caused by an identifiable and treatable sleep disorder", such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, idiopathic central nervous system (CNS) hypersomnia, Kleine-Levin syndrome, menstrual-related hypersomnia, idiopathic recurrent stupor, or circadian rhythm disturbances.[12][13] Another common complaint is insomnia, a set of symptoms which can have a great many different causes, physical and mental. Management in the varying situations differs greatly and cannot be undertaken without a correct diagnosis.

6. Information about Drug - Valium
October 12, 2009

One of the recent problems seen with valium is that it is being sold as an alternative to heroin. Whilst it may be of benefit to have people taking less heroin, switching to this form of medication is not really much better and has the negative aspect of people thinking they are acting in a safer manner. Although both drugs are illegal in the wrong hands and are both potentially dangerous, there is no doubt that there is more of a social stigma surrounding heroin use which means that more people may be keen to try other drugs instead of the main one. This can be dangerous for people who are ac... (read more)
