Chronic alcoholism is associated with the development of cardiac and peripheral autonomic nervous system (ANS) pathology.

This study aimed to assess the interaction between physiological sleep and reproductive hormone measures in perimenopausal women.

This article reviews the literature on the characteristics of, and contributing factors to, subjectively and objectively measured sleep during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and post-partum period, as well as the menopausal transition and postmenopause.

The presence of physiological hot flashes accounts for a significant proportion of total objective time awake during the night in perimenopausal women.

We investigated cardiac vagal and sympathetic activity in 13 young primary insomniacs and 14 good sleepers during nocturnal sleep.

The aim of this study was to determine the role of personality factors in the development of DSM-IV insomnia coincident with perimenopause.

We investigated nighttime ANS functioning, and the relation between ANS activity and severity of alcohol dependence in chronic alcoholism.

We aimed to investigate the efficacy of the daily recommended dose of diclofenac potassium in treating severe menstrual pain in women with severe primary dysmenorrhea.

The objective was to assess development of EEG markers of these strategies and their role in both preparatory attention (contingent negative variation, CNV) and response monitoring (Error Related Negativity, ERN, and Correct Related Negativity, CRN).

We investigated whether QoL varies between women with and without severe primary dysmenorrhea, and whether QoL is impaired only during menstruation or also during pain-free phases of the menstrual cycle.
