Methods: We analyzed YouTube videos on sleep-related behaviors likely representing parasomnias. We applied the search terms "sleepwalking", "somnambulism", "sleep eating" "sleep sex", "sleep talking" and "aggression in sleep" in six languages. We classified those persons shown on the videos into estimated biological sex and age (child, adult, elderly) groups. We scored the activity types by a self-made scale and applied binary logistic regression to analyze the association between sleep behaviors versus sex and age groups by the STATA package, providing a 95 % confidence interval and the probability of statistical significance. Results: 224 videos (102 women; 68 children, 116 adults, and 40 elderly people) were scored. Elderly people had significantly (P < 0.012) less odds of ambulation in sleep likely consistent with somnambulism compared to adults and children. Adult females performed complex manual activities during sleepwalking more often, than males (P < 0.012). Elderly males had 40-fold odds compared to adults and children, to perform aggressive movements and 70-fold odds of complex movements in bed, compared to adults. Elderly people presented emotional behaviors less frequently than adults (P < 0.004), and females showed them twice as often as males. Adults sleep-talked full sentences more often than children and elderly people (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Our results support the existence of age- and sex-specific parasomnia phenotypes, denoting possible safety measures. The remarkably low odds of sleepwalking in the elderly highlight the possibility of different pathomechanisms in higher age groups compared to children.}, keywords = {DISORDERS; PREVALENCE; arousal; Clinical Neurology; parasomnia; FRONTAL-LOBE EPILEPSY; risk of injury; HYPERMOTOR EPILEPSY}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1532-2653}, pages = {117-118}, orcid-numbers = {Miranda Corréa, Vivian/0000-0003-1677-2171; Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:35162222, title = {NREM parasomnia-related behaviors and adverse childhood experiences}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35162222}, author = {Miranda Corréa, Vivian and Biresaw, Mengesha and Vitrai, József and Szűcs, Anna}, doi = {10.1016/j.sleep.2024.07.027}, journal-iso = {SLEEP MED}, journal = {SLEEP MEDICINE}, volume = {121}, unique-id = {35162222}, issn = {1389-9457}, abstract = {Purpose: To assess the prevalence, types, sociodemographic factors, and reported dangerous activities of sleep-related behaviors likely representing NREM parasomnia episodes, as well as their association with adverse childhood experiences in Hungary. Methods: Cross-sectional survey of 1000 adults (aged ≥18 years) representing the Hungarian population, using a non-probability quota sampling with a random walk method and a structured face-to-face interview. A multi-criterion weighting procedure was applied to correct bias along the main sociodemographic variables to the data available. Binary logistic regression estimated the odds of NREM parasomnia-related behaviors associated with sociodemographic factors and adverse childhood experiences. Results: The prevalence of NREM parasomnia-related behaviors was 2.7 %, and self-reported sleep-eating was 0.1 % of the population (4.6 % of parasomnia-like activities). For middle-aged adults, the odds of sleep ambulation were significantly lower than for younger adults (OR 0.3; P = 0.03). A participant's family occurrence of reported parasomnia-like activity increased their odds of having it by more than 7 times (OR 7.1; P < 0.001). Nine participants out of those 27 people reporting NREM parasomnia-related behavior episodes, reported childhood adverse experiences, increasing the odds of parasomnia-related behavior by more than six times (OR 6.2; P < 0.001) compared to those not reporting it. Conclusion: This is the first population survey in Hungary on adult sleep-related behaviors likely representing NREM parasomnia episodes and the potential association with childhood traumatic events preceding them. The related dangerous behaviors call for safety measures and prevention. The significant association between adverse childhood events and NREM parasomnia-related behaviors needs further analysis. © 2024 The Author(s)}, keywords = {Adult; Female; Male; PREVALENCE; ARTICLE; human; Hungary; major clinical study; REM sleep; cross-sectional study; emotional stress; self report; Sociodemographics; jumping; divorce; sexual abuse; Random walk; orphanage; psychotrauma; sleep arousal disorder; emotional abuse; physical abuse; sleep walking; adverse childhood experiences; childhood adversity; REM sleep behavior disorder; Climbing; sexsomnia; parental deprivation; sleep eating; face-to-face interview; NREM parasomnia-related behaviors; sleep driving}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1878-5506}, pages = {365-369}, orcid-numbers = {Miranda Corréa, Vivian/0000-0003-1677-2171; Biresaw, Mengesha/0000-0002-6486-3732; Vitrai, József/0000-0001-9267-806X; Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:34965899, title = {Commentary: Epileptic seizure clustering and accumulation at transition from activity to rest in GAERS rats}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34965899}, author = {Halász, Péter and Szűcs, Anna}, doi = {10.3389/fneur.2024.1394248}, journal-iso = {FRONT NEUR}, journal = {FRONTIERS IN NEUROLOGY}, volume = {15}, unique-id = {34965899}, issn = {1664-2295}, keywords = {NREM sleep; ABSENCE EPILEPSY; behavioral state; burst-firing working mode of the thalamus; GAERS rats}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1664-2295}, orcid-numbers = {Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:34850176, title = {Narkolepszia ma}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34850176}, author = {Szűcs, Anna and Vivian, Correa and Ábrahám, Anita}, journal-iso = {ORVOSTOVÁBBKÉPZŐ SZLE}, journal = {ORVOSTOVÁBBKÉPZŐ SZEMLE}, volume = {31}, unique-id = {34850176}, issn = {1218-2583}, year = {2024}, pages = {online}, orcid-numbers = {Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:34774937, title = {Changes in public attitude toward epilepsy in Hungary since 1994.

Methods We performed a cross-sectional survey of the Hungarian adult population from 28th February to 8th March 2023. A non-probability quota sampling with a random walk method was used. We applied the computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) method and used a multicriteria weighting procedure to correct for bias along the main sociodemographic variables. To detect changes over time, we used chi-squared tests, and to analyze the effect of sociodemographic characteristics, we applied multivariate logistic regression. Results One thousand participants (53.1% women, mean age 48.1 +/- 16.75 years) representing Hungary's population were interviewed yielding a response rate of 80.3%. 26.3% knew someone with epilepsy (55.9% in 1994 and 51.9% in 2000), and 30.8% saw an epileptic seizure (58% in 1994 and 55.3% in 2000). Compared to the young, fewer adults and elderly people knew someone with epilepsy or had seen a seizure. Like in 1994 and 2000, 16.6% reported objection to their children's interaction with people with epilepsy; however, in the present study, significantly fewer people opposed their children marrying or working together with epileptic people, indicating a change in attitude (p < 0.0001). Rural residents had less objection to their children's interaction with people with epilepsy (p < 0.05). People with secondary education objected significantly more often than those with primary education to their children's interaction (p = 0.037), marriage to people with epilepsy (p = 0.043), or their having equal employment (p = 0.008). Higher education people were as "permissive" as those with primary education. Significance Certain parameters of familiarity and attitude markers of the Hungarian population toward epilepsy have improved. These tendencies are promising, but work is still needed; our results will hopefully evoke educational programs and campaigns against negative attitudes. Plain Language Summary The knowledge of the Hungarian population about epilepsy and their attitude toward people with epilepsy has been improved since 1994. People from rural areas have shown more acceptance for people with epilepsy. Those people who completed secondary education were significantly more prone to stigmatization than those with primary education.}, keywords = {EPILEPSY; KNOWLEDGE; KNOWLEDGE; PERCEPTION; Hungary; POPULATIONS; COUNTRIES; attitude; EXPERIENCES; STIGMA; Clinical Neurology; Beliefs; RURAL-COMMUNITY}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2470-9239}, pages = {1042-1050}, orcid-numbers = {Biresaw, Mengesha/0000-0002-6486-3732; Vitrai, József/0000-0001-9267-806X; Miranda Corréa, Vivian/0000-0003-1677-2171; Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:34757152, title = {Újabb ismeretek az NREM rémébredések agyi hátterérôl}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34757152}, author = {Halász, Péter and Simor, Péter Dániel and Szűcs, Anna}, journal-iso = {PSYCHIATRIA HUNG}, journal = {PSYCHIATRIA HUNGARICA}, volume = {39}, unique-id = {34757152}, issn = {0237-7896}, abstract = {We consider the disorders of arousal and sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy as genetic twin-conditions, one without, one with epilepsy. They share an augmented arousal-activity during NREM sleep with sleep-wake dissociations, culminating in sleep terrors and sleep-related hypermotor seizures with similar symptoms. The known mutations underlying the two spectra are different, but there are multifold population-genetic-, family- and even individual (the two conditions occurring in the same person) overlaps supporting common genetic roots. In the episodes of disorders of arousal, the anterior cingulate, anterior insular and pre-frontal cortices (shown to be involved in fear- and emotion processing) are activated within a sleeping brain. These regions overlap with the seizure-onset zones of successfully operated sleep-related hypermotor seizures, and notably, belong to the salience network being consistent with its hubs. The arousal-relatedness and the similar fearful disorientation occurring in sleep terrors and hypermotor seizures, make them alike the acute stress-responses emerging from sleep; triggered by false alarms. An acute stress-response can easily mobilize the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (preparing fight-flight responses in wakefulness); through its direct pathways to and from the salience network.
