information compiled in Fiehn’s and NIST libraries. The same set of samples were analysed by liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LC-QTOF-MS). Profiles were aligned and filtered using Mass Profiler Professional. Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were applied for screening potential biomarkers. Results: OPLS-DA plots obtained using SIMCA-P+, based on GC-MS and LC-MS data, show clear separation between control and severe patient. Changes in the metabolic profiles of amino acids were found between both groups, showing an increase trend, including some branched-chain amino acid (BCAAs). Different metabolic pathways could be altered under conditions related to insulin resistance, such as metabolic syndrome and obesity causing alterations in branchedchain keto acid dehydrogenase that could be reflected in the increased level of BCAAs. Phosphocholine and compounds related to the glycine and glutamate metabolism were putatively assigned. Glutamate receptors have recently being found present in the lung (NMDA receptors) causing a wide range of damage (lipid peroxidation, DNA bridges broken, activation of the system caspases, loss of energy and cell death). Conclusion: These findings reflect considerable differences in individual metabolite fingerprints of OSAHS patients and open the possibility of identifying novel biomarkers associated to sleep disorders, that can help to uncover the complexity underlyingthe metabolic alterations occurring in OSAHS.

Introduction: This work aims to assess the prevalence and quality (type) of sleep disorders in chronic renal failure patients. Materials and methods: A study was conducted on 40 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) who were subdivided into two groups; patients not on heamodialysis (HD) (group I) (n = 20), and patients on regular HD (group II) (n = 20), and 20 sex and age matched control subjects. All subjects were subjected to through neurological examination, sleep complaints history and polysomnography. Results: All CRF patients had sleep complaints in the form of difficulty falling asleep (45%), fragmented sleep (55%), early morning awakening (45%) excess daytime sleepiness (25%) and jerking leg movements (15%). Patients group had significantly lower total sleep time, sleep efficiency, slow wave sleep percentage, oxyden desaturation and higher apnea hypopnea index and number of awakenings compared to control group. Sleep efficiency was significantly lower in group I compared to group II while periodic limb movement disorder was more in group II. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of sleep disorders in chronic renal failure CRF patients whether they are on regular HD or not and, proper management of these disorders will improve the morbidity and quality of life of those patient. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sleep.2013.11.098
Repeated sleepiness ratings throughout the day – A normative field study in 800 individuals across one working week T. Akerstedt, G. Kecklund, D. Hallvig Stockholm University, Sweden
Introduction: Sleepiness ratings are frekvently used in field and laboratory studies in relation to altered sleep/wake patterns. In field studies sleepiness ratings are often the only reasible way for measuring sleepiness. Most studies have been small, however, and focused on a particular occupational group. There is a need for normative values of sleepiness at different times of day in relation to factors that might affect sleepiness, for example, work/leisure, stress, gender, age, night sleep, and health. No similar studies have been carried out before and to obtain such data was the purpose of the present study. Materials and methods: The participants rated their sleepiness on the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) at 07, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 22 h each day for one week (scale 1–9) and filled out daily sleep diaries on sleep, stress (same time as KSS), workload, wori/nonwork, subjective health and others. Results: The results showed a very pronounced diurnal pattern with high levels at 07 h (4.6 ) and 22 h (6.6) with 3.5 around noon. Having a day off reduced the level by 0.4 units, being male reduced the levels by 0.4 units and higher age (60 years) reduced levels by 0.3 units (compared to 30 year olds) (all p- values <.001). In a multiple regression analysis was observed that sleepiness was considerably higher in individuals high on stress (workday mean) or higher in individuals low on subjective health (p < .001). Subjective sleep quality predicted lower sleepiness, but sleep duration did not. Conclusion: It was concluded that subjective sleepiness has a pronounced circadian pattern which differe depending on age and gender, and is affected by prior sleep, although stress and the state of health play important roles. The results emphasize the importance of accounting for the modifying factors when using self-rated sleepiness.

CPAP can reduce blood pressure in symptomatic patients with OSAS D. Al-Abri Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Oman
Introduction: obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with raised arterial blood pressure (BP). There are controversial evidences about the effect of continues positive airway pressure (CPAP) in lowering nocturnal and daytime BP in patients with OSAS and therefore, the aim was to examine the real effect of CPAP in blood pressure in these patients. Materials and methods: We conducted a randomized sham- controlled cross-over study of the effects of 6 weeks of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or Sham CPAP on 24-h blood pressure in 39 sleepy patients (37 males, 2 females) with mean age of 50 8, mean apnea- hypopnea index [AHI], 47 29 and mean ESS 16 3. Five patients were receiving anti-hypertension medications and 7 patients who had nocturnal dipping. Ambulatory blood pressure was recorded for the last 48 h at baseline and after each treatment. Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS) was also recorded.
