Narcolepsy patients have antibodies that stain distinct cell populations in rat brain and influence sleep patterns. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder, likely with an autoimmune component. During 2009 and 2010, a link between A(H1N1)pdm09 Pandemrix vaccination and onset of narcolepsy was suggested in Scandinavia.

Profiling the sleep architecture of ageing adults using a seven‐state continuous‐time Markov model

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Sleep is a complex biological process regulated by networks of neurons and environmental factors. As one falls asleep, neurotransmitters from sleep–wake regulating neurones work in synergy to control the switching of different sleep states throughout the night. As sleep disorders or underlying neuropathology can manifest as irregular switching,

Investigation of the “Not Better Explained” Diagnosis Criteria in Sleep Disorder Classifications: A Systematic Content Analysis and Critical Review

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
The “Not Better Explained” (NBE) criterion plays a key role in preventing diagnostic misclassification by structuring causal reasoning in sleep medicine. This systematic content analysis compares the use, wording, and excluded conditions of NBE criteria across the ICSD‐3‐TR and DSM‐5‐TR for ten major sleep disorders.

Supply and Demand in the Mathematics of Rare Disease Drug Development: Why Choosing the Right Model Is Crucial

open access: yesClinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinical trials for rare diseases face a fundamental mathematical challenge that conventional randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs cannot overcome. With approximately 95% of the estimated 10,000–16,000 rare diseases lacking approved therapies, and drug development programs failing at rates exceeding 75% in non‐oncology indications, the ...

Idiopathic hypersomnia and Kleine–Levin syndrome

open access: yesRevue Neurologique, 2023
Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) and Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) are rare disorders of central hypersomnolence of unknown cause, affecting young people. However, increased sleep time and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) occur daily for years in IH, whereas they occur as relapsing/remitting episodes associated with cognitive and behavioural disturbances in
