Consequences of Conjugal Bereavement in Adults

BereavementDepressive Disorder3 more

Bereavement refers to the expected reactions and sadness associated with the loss of a loved one. It has been reported that the loss of a spouse is rated as the major life stressor among survivors of varying ages and diverse cultural backgrounds. Statistics have shown that in the United States over 800,000 men and women lose a spouse each year. A wide range of symptoms has been associated with bereavement including; depressed mood, tearfulness, sleep disturbances, and irrational behavior. Previous studies have shown that up to 50% of bereaved individuals can develop major depression. Bereavement has also been associated with dysfunction of the immune system. As a result, bereaved adults are more vulnerable to infection. However, the exact relationship between bereavement and immunity is uncertain. Researchers firmly believe that a relationship does exist between stress, more specifically bereavement, immunity, and the increased chance of dying following the loss of a long-term spouse. The objective of this study is to find possible links between bereavement, depression, and the immune system. This study will follow a group of elderly bereaved spouses and a group of elderly people who have not lost a long-term spouse. The group of bereaved individuals will be followed for approximately 13 months after the loss of their spouse and the group of controls will be followed for 13 months after entering the study. Researchers will make note of any clinical, biological, and immunological changes in any participants of the study.

Validation of a Short Questionnaire (SSI) for Sleep Disorders in Patients With Alcohol

Alcohol DependenceSleep Disorder

Sleep disorders are very common in alcohol patients (40-90% according to studies) These sleep disorders may persist after withdrawal and represent a major factor in relapse. In a previous study, the investigators validated a simple sleep questionnaire (the "Short Sleep Index = SSI") from a multicentre series of 602 American patients (Perney et al., Alcohol Alcohol 2012) The SSI is obtained from the Hamilton score (baseline score for anxiety and depression)

Study of the Influence of Sleep on Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients With Sleep Disorders

HypertensionSleep1 more

Several epidemiological studies in large cohorts suggest a strong association between sleep duration, complaint of insomnia and risk of hypertension.These findings suggest an important role of sleep quality in development of hypertension. Principal limitations of these studies are the cross-sectional study design, self-report sleep duration and poor measurement of blood pressure. The investigators propose to study an insomniac population with complete evaluation of quality and quantity of sleep, associated to complete hemodynamic measurement of hypertension.
