Introduction: Motor neuron disease (MND) causes respiratory insufficiency, which is managed in part through use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Guidelines for the initiation of NIV are based on pulmonary function tests (PFTs), usually performed once every three months. In the setting of MND telemedicine, remote monitoring of respiratory health may permit earlier intervention, but proof of equivalence to conventional PFTs is lacking. Methods: We implemented delivery of remote PFTs (rPFTs), based on our institution’s telemedicine platform, with the goals of validating measurement equivalence to conventional forced vital capacity (FVC) and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) assessments, and assessing process acceptability from both patients and therapists. Results: When remotely guided by a respiratory therapist, 40 patient/caregiver teams produced respiratory parameters that were tightly correlated with those acquired through the standard evaluation. Both patients and therapists generally rated the setup and use of the devices positively, with patient ratings higher than those of the therapists. Discussion: This study suggests that rPFTs are accurate and acceptable, and thus may be incorporated into MND telemedicine for clinical and research use.

487. Elvis: "Last Train to Memphis"
I was a small Irish kid in Germany in 1958 (my Dad worked in the AFEX system as an accountant) when Elvis came over as an army draftee. A family friend got his autograph for me which I lost soon after (damn & double-damn!) and this is the point where this book - the first of a two-part biography - closes. The first part of this biography takes us back from the arrival in Germany to Elvis' birth in Tupelo, to his family's move to Memphis, his geeky high school days, the $12 guitar his father bought for him, and his burning desire to cut a record. This brought him to Sam Phillips and Sun Records. This early recording took off thanks to radio play throughout the South and a series of live gigs followed, getting ever bigger and bigger. Soon things became so big they nearly got out of control. From some peculiar mixture of gospel, hillbilly, and Negro blues Elvis had hit on a new sound that caught the imagination of teenage America. By the age of 21 (1956) he was pulling in huge audiences and the music moguls were taking an interest. The predatory ex-Carnie barker "Colonel" Tom Parker moved in to guide this boy along and in his manipulatory and conniving ways made Elvis a national phenomenon.
What makes this story so fascinating is the way it is told. The author, an early fan of the music, spent 11 years tracking down all the surviving friends and associates of Elvis and tells the story as if he were looking through a keyhole, recording conversations and first impressions and opinions from such a wide number of people that you begin to feel you are there yourself. The way this book was put together is extremely impressive: by no means is it your "standard" biography. Whether you like the music or not (I did even then, I still do!) you cannot help but get caught up in the story. After such a meteoric rise you just know that a fall is bound to come: hubris, as we know from the wise old Greeks, is followed by nemesis.
A second volume of the biography entitled "Careless Love" charts the course of Elvis' career from the time he was released from the army to his early death at the age of 42. That will require another review.

From Palestine Chronicle
Ahed Tamimi released after eight months in jail
(Image by YouTube, Channel: Geopolityka) Details DMCA
The father of 11-year-old, Abdul Rahman Nofal contacted me, asking for help. His son was shot in the leg during Gaza's "Great March of Return" protests. The Strip's dilapidated health care system could not save the little boy's leg, as it was later amputated.
His father, Yamen, himself a young man from the Buraij Refugee Camp in central Gaza, only wants his child to receive a prosthetic leg so that he can walk to school. The Israelis are refusing the boy a permit to cross into Ramallah to receive treatment. Desperate, Yamen composed a video, where he pleads with Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas, to help his son. So far, his pleas have gone unanswered.
"What did this innocent child do to deserve such mistreatment?" he asks in the short video. The same question can be asked regarding the ill-treatment of all of Gaza's children, of all Palestinian children.
Abbas, along with Israel, has subjected Palestinians in Gaza to a prolonged campaign of collective punishment. As cruel as Israel's repeated wars on the impoverished and besieged Strip has been, it is consistent with Tel Aviv's history of war crimes and apartheid. But what Abbas is doing to Gaza is not just unfair, but also puzzling.
Why is an 83-year-old leader so keen on engaging Israel through the so-called security coordination, and, yet, so insistent on isolating and punishing his people in the Gaza Strip?
Instead of helping Gazans who are reeling under the destructive outcomes of Israeli wars and over a decade of hermetic siege, he has been tightening the noose.
Abbas' Authority has, thus far, cut salaries it previously paid to Gaza employees, even those loyal to his own faction, Fatah; he has cut salaries to the families of Gaza prisoners held in Israel; he has even withheld payments to the Israeli electric company that provided Gaza with some of its electricity needs, plunging the Strip even further into darkness.
Like Israel, Abbas also wants to see Gaza on its knees. But, unlike Israel, he is humiliating his brethren.
Starting on May 14, when thousands of Palestinians in Gaza went out to the fence separating the imprisoned enclave from Israel, Abbas' supporters in the West Bank understood the "March of Return" protests as a validation of Fatah's rival, Hamas. So they, too, took to the streets in "celebration" of Abbas' imaginary achievements.
Hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza were killed and thousands more wounded in the ongoing "March of Return," many of them children, but Abbas and his Fatah allies were far more interested in ensuring their relevance rather than joining the protests in demanding an end to the Gaza blockade.
When much larger rallies were held in Ramallah and elsewhere in the West Bank calling on Abbas to end his punishment of the Gaza Strip, they were attacked by Abbas' security goons. Men and women were beaten up, and many were arrested for solidarity with Gaza, now an unforgivable act.
The truth is that Palestinians in the West Bank, not just in Gaza, loathe Mahmoud Abbas. They want him and his violent, corrupt apparatus to go away. He refuses, however, crafting all sorts of tactics to ensure his dominance over his opponents, going as far as working with Israel to achieve such a dishonourable objective.
However, Abbas still wants to convince Palestinians that he is resisting, not the type of "useless resistance" displayed by Gazans, but his style of "peaceful civil resistance" of Palestinian villages in the West Bank.
Such emphasis was made once more in recent days.

February 11, 2011 (Berlin, Germany) – Writer/Producer/Director James Wan has closed an eight (8) picture deal with the Icon Entertainment International (IEI), it was announced today by Wan and Hugo Grumbar, Managing Director (International) for Icon, at the Berlin Film Festival.
Wan who is best known for creating and directing the first in the “Saw” franchise of films which have gone on to gross over $850,000,000 worldwide, will produce two (2) horror films a year under the agreement with Icon. Wan recently sold the film INSIDIOUS to Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group at the Toronto Film Festival.
The first picture to be put through the slate is HOUSE OF HORROR, which is based on a story written by James Wan. Max La Bella wrote the screenplay. Javier Gutierrez (Before the Fall, A.K.A Tres Dias) is attached to direct with James Wan and Lee Clay producing.
“I wanted to have the creative freedom and the ability to work with really artistic film makers who can help me bring an original and innovative style of genre films to the public. Paradigm paved the way for this and we have chosen to partner with Icon who are a perfect fit for us,” Wan said.
Icon will handle worldwide sales for the titles and distribute in the UK through theatrical arm Icon Film Distribution. Paradigm and attorney David Fox rep Wan and Paradigm’s Motion Picture Finance Group will package and rep North American rights.
EXCLUSIVE FROM TORONTO: The Toronto deal logjam seems to be breaking. Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group is closing a deal for North American distribution rights to Insidious, the James Wan-directed thriller that premiered in the Midnight Madness program Tuesday. Leigh Whannell wrote the script. I’m told it is a 7-figure deal that is still being finalized after a marathon bargaining session following the screening. The film is a modern take on the haunted house chiller genre. It’s guaranteed a theatrical release, with a level to be determined. Wan and Whannell created the Saw franchise, with Wan directing and Whannell scripting the first pic in that series. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne play a married couple with three kids. When tragedy strikes the youngest, begin to experience things science can’t explain. Barbara Hershey and Lin Shaye also star. Pic’s produced by Jason Blum, Steven Schneider and Paranormal Activity helmer Oren Peli Stuart Ford’s IM Global has foreign on the picture and has sold out the world. CAA and Paradigm repped it.


The good folks at Sprint dropped off the EVO 4G for me to share with you. The EVO has the 4.3-inch display that is simply beautiful. It’s also packing 4G that can be shared with up to 8 devices at once over the Mobile Hotspot. It is running Android 2.1 and sports two cameras, the 8MP on the back and another on the front for video chatting. There’s a kickstand for watching video on that big screen and as you might guess there is not much that this phone doesn’t have.
I’ll be putting the EVO through its paces and grabbing some video to share soon; meanwhile enjoy this photo tour of the Sprint EVO 4G. There are even photos comparing the EVO with two other Android phones — Nexus One and the Droid Incredible. The EVO is not available until June 4 but have a look and see if it’s worth standing in line for.
- 4.3-inch display is gorgeous
- 1 GHz Snapdragon is very responsive
- Multitasking- fired up 15 apps and no lags
- Lighter than I thought
- HTC Sense
- Touch buttons on front are too sensitive
- Camera needs lots of light
- Power button hard to hit
You can see a short test video I shot with the preinstalled Qik application to gauge the camera quality.

After going green with solar panels, many solar power enthusiasts wonder if solar panels drain batteries during the night or when they’re not being used, and we’ve got the answer and much more.
In this article, we’ll talk about how to prolong your batteries’ lives and talk about charge controllers—
let’s dive into it!
Do Solar Panels Drain Batteries At Night?
You have solar panels set up to charge up batteries, but do those solar panels drain battery life once the sun goes away?
The short answer is yes, solar panels do drain some battery life, and there are ways to prevent it by:
- Proper wiring configuration
- Battery type and
- Current control
There are many appliances that solar batteries power, especially once the sun goes down, and solar panels happen to be one of them.
Although it’s not a lot of energy that solar panels use, it’s still significant and should be avoided to save money.
Fortunately, there’s a little gadget:
A solar charge controller to prevent this unnecessary battery drainage.
How Do I Prolong Solar Battery Life?
A simple trick is to buy rechargeable batteries rather than non-rechargeable batteries, as non-rechargeables don’t last nearly as long as rechargeable ones.
Just make sure that those rechargeable batteries are newly manufactured—the lifespan of batteries that sit in storage units for months don’t have nearly enough juice to be filled up to 100% in case of recharging.
Another method for saving battery life is to make sure all of your solar batteries are working on the
Keep Same voltage
Mixed voltages result in a shorter lifespan of batteries.
Checking to make sure that you’re charging your solar batteries correctly and that they’re set up properly results in longer battery life.
A higher amperage charges your batteries fast, and it’s tempting, but it’ll cause the battery’s lifespan to shorten and die out quickly.
Learn more: Series VS Parallel Solar Panel Connections
A final method is to charge a solar battery to its appropriate battery level. Every battery shouldn’t be charged fully—a good rule of thumb is to charge a battery to 80-90% of its full charge.
Of course, you don’t have the time to shut off the current or a way to know when a battery reaches its “point.”
That’s where solar charge controllers come into play.
Using A Solar Charge Controller
A solar charge controller is a device within a solar system that limits the current and power that goes into and out of the solar battery.
Using a solar charge controller helps prevent that unnecessary battery drainage, also known as reverse current, by the solar panels by controlling where the power goes and how much of it while ensuring that the batteries get filled up to the proper amount.
This will help increase performance and extend the battery life to its maximum lifespan.
Charge controllers are cheap, and they’re a must-have for solar systems. They don’t often come with many solar kits, which is why they will have to be bought separately, but it is vital.
Do I Have To Shut Off Charge Controllers?
Since charge controllers run off of power that is stored from solar panels, they run themselves, so no, you don’t have to shut off your solar charge controllers, ever.
That is the most significant part of charge controllers—that they pay themselves off without any supervision or extra power input. And also, don’t worry about thinking that the solar charge controllers are taking too much power from your solar batteries.
Charge controllers are meant to take the most minimal amount of power to run themselves—you won’t even notice the small amount of power input that goes into the charge controller. Besides, the benefits of solar charge controllers far outweigh the disadvantages.
What Is Reverse Current Aand How Do I Prevent It?
Reverse current is when a current is going in the opposite direction of where it should be going. Reverse current often happens in cheap and faulty solar panels. With enough unwanted current, it can damage the solar panel, even though most solar panels are made to withstand some reverse current.
The cause of reverse current is more technical and happens primarily because of a wrong solar setup. With short circuits occurring because the strings used aren’t the same length, your solar design results in an open circuit terminal voltage much lower than other parallel strings.
Bypass, or string, diodes are tools that are connected in series with individual strings, which ultimately prevents reverse current. String fusses connected to other strings can also prevent reverse current, but the losses of string fusses are much lower than bypass diodes.
Here’s a list of key takeaways that are crucial from this article to save your solar batteries and solar panels:
- Solar panels do drain the battery to an extent if set up incorrectly.
- Buy newer, rechargeable solar batteries to extend your solar system’s life
- Use the same voltage and power settings on your solar batteries
- Invest in solar charge controllers—they’re literal battery savers
- Solar panels may cause reverse current, but solar charge controllers can prevent this
Thank you for reading this short guide! Hopefully, you learned a thing or two that’ll help you save your battery and its lifespan. Solar systems may seem complicated, but they don’t have to be.

The St. Louis Blues picked up a win last Thursday against the New York Rangers, and added a unit and change to our total for the year in the process. Paul Kariya picked up his 400th career goal late in the third to break a 3-3 tie and give the Blues the go-ahead goal. Both teams are currently short of the 8th and final play-off spot in their respective conferences, and will need to show something special to catch up.
Hockey can be a very profitable sport to bet on when you base it off moneyline odds, especially when betting underdogs. The “plus odds” is a reason that NHL moneyline dogs can show value over time. Most people like to win – thus overvaluing winning teams. Our selections on moneyline underdogs will normally hit at less than 50%, but the “plus odds” payoff makes it a profitable investment.

Los Angeles Kings +115 over Colorado Avalanche
With just three weeks left in the regular season we will be taking the Los Angeles Kings (42-24-5) to beat the Colorado Avalanche (40-25-7) at the Pepsi Center. The Kings have beat the Avalanche in their two previous meetings, including Monday at the Staples Center with an overtime goal by Drew Doughty. The Kings have one of the best road records (21-12-2) in the NHL and have won their last two games. The Avalanche are sitting in 7th, two spots bellow the Kings, in the Western Conference, and are missing several key players including Avalanche starting goalie, Craig Anderson, who is expected to sit out for rest.
The Avalanche opened at -125 at Pinnacle and is currently sitting at -118. Though the public has been pretty evenly split on this game for most of the day they have started to give a slight favor to the Avalanche with 54% taking them. Our system has trigged a Steam Move from 5Dimes (87-75, +6.3) on the Kings as well. So, with the current line and the positive Steam Move, we will be taking the Kings to go into Denver and do work.

Thanks for the lead, John.
Bwv 577 may be the one!!
The piece I remember from the late 70s was a happy sound more likely in a major key rather than 845, which is in a minor key and is so little liked that I couldn't even find a snippet to listen to!!
I listened to a snippet of 577 and while it was an organ piece rather than guitar, it didn't sound "exactly" like what I "think" I recall, but it's an extensive piece, and since it is a fugue, the part I'm familiar with(sorta
)may have even been an inverted portion!
Anyway; thanks for the lead! Sure could be the one at that!!

Both R-Com and the State Bank of India had subsequently moved the apex court.
Accordingly, there is now no bar in immediately completing the asset sales of spectrum, MCNs (media convergence node) and real estate, and the same shall be concluded expeditiously. The distribution of proceeds of only the tower and fibre will be subject to the final decision of the NCLAT on April 18.
"By an interim order passed today, NCLAT has vacated the remaining stay, and allowed execution of sale deeds and deposit of the proceeds with SBI in an escrow account".
The stay by the High Court was imposed after unsecured creditor and vendor of services Ericsson demanded to be paid Rs 1,150 cr for the network management services that it has been providing.
The Anil Ambani led firm said that the claim of the minority investors, which is fully disputed by RCom, can, in any case, be a maximum of approximately Rs 200 - 300 crore from the sales proceeds.
The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the decks for the sale of its assets, including spectrum, to RelianceJio Infocomm as it vacated a stay granted by the High Court.
Reliance Communications stocks traded at Rs 24.30, up by 4.07 percent, on the BSE in early trade on Friday on the back of the Supreme Court allowing the Anil Ambani -owned telco to sell most of its assets to Reliance Jio Infocomm to pare its almost Rs 45,000-crore debt. What we have achieved, in the face of extraordinary challenges, is truly historic and unprecedented in Indian corporate history.
On a consolidated basis, RCom reported net loss of Rs 113 crore in Q3 December 2017 as against net loss of Rs 488 crore in Q3 December 2016.
Ambani said that in the debt reduction, there would be no write-off for any lender or bondholder.
Pakistan's Cabinet on Monday made a decision to observe Kashmir Solidarity Day in response to the latest violence. He said that India wrongly thought that the continued slaughter in Kashmir would crush the indigenous movement.
It is worth pointing out some of the new Android apps were simply the ported versions of the apps available on iOS in the past. As noted by TechCrunch , Apple in late 2016 said it would delete "problematic and abandoned apps" from the App Store.
The incident took place on Thursday night on a Central railway train plying from Thane to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. In a horrific incident, a woman was molested and beaten up and thrashed by a man onboard a Thane-CST local train in Mumbai .
There's a lot going on and it's comforting to know at least 30 minutes of the film is amusing (before everyone dies). The movie will not be screenied in full anywhere in teh world untl the Los Angeles premiere on April 23.
Beijing responded by threatening to impose additional 25 percent duties on 106 American products worth $50 billion. But economists warn that the tit-for-tat moves bear the hallmarks of a classic trade rift that could escalate.
Committee chair Damien Collins has said it was "astonishing" that Zuckerberg was not prepared to answer questions himself. By the time Facebook addressed the concerns, "thousands, if not hundreds of thousands", had seen the messages, they said.
Hamilton is in the last season of a three-year deal with Mercedes and has been in the process of negotiating a new contract. He said, "I think we have enough clever people to know that we're not quick enough yet".
The NEC had extended the tenure of the Odigie-Oyegun-led NWC and other executive committees by one year, starting from June. Therefore, we collectively agreed that we will have congresses at all levels - Local - State and National.
Workers Run For Lives As St. Petersburg Crane Falls
He said the builders safety officer was investigating the incident but had not yet determined what caused the crane to fall over. Police said that while the collapse did not impact construction for the new headquarters, the crane did suffer damage.
Trade Relations With China Get Worse
Trump argues China's trade practices have led to the closure of American factories and the loss of millions of American jobs. Previously, China had already announced that they will be putting tariffs on 128 U.S. goods that are imported into China .
FlorinCoin (FLO) declined -9.57% in less than 24 hours
Ravencoin's official Twitter account is @ravencoin . "MOT is an ERC20 token that serves as a currency on Olympus Labs' ecosystem". Binance Coin (BNB) traded 10.5% lower against the dollar and now trades at $12.15 or 0.00176768 BTC.

Did you know that 84% of homes in the United States have air conditioning?
An HVAC air duct leak can increase the risk of dangerous outdoor pollutants entering your indoor air. Are you dreading finding your air conditioner broken in the middle of summer because of a broken air vent?
To help you avoid this, we’ve compiled a list of signs that you can use to help you find any leaks faster. Want to find air duct leaks more quickly? Read below for more tips.
Not Cooling or Heating
HVAC air duct leaks can be identified by inspecting and feeling the air ducts for signs of damage. If the system is not heating or cooling correctly, it indicates an air duct leak. Any sudden temperature change can indicate that ac ducts are leaking.
A smoke test can be performed to identify air leaks. If a leak is identified, it should be patched or caulked to prevent further air leakage. If a leak is not visible, it can be determined by feeling the air ducts for relaxed or warm air.
Malfunctioning HVAC systems should be checked for air leaks. This can cause further damage to the system and even cause hazardous air quality.
Increase in Energy Bills
Spotting an HVAC air duct leak about increased energy bills can often be tricky. It is essential to inspect the air conditioning unit to make sure the duct connection is tightly sealed. If these are loose, it may cause a leak in the air duct.
Homeowners should conduct a visual inspection of the leaky air duct to determine if there are any holes or tears. Look for wet spots on ceilings and walls that could indicate a leak. Dispose of any debris that may be blocking the air duct.
Performing a duct pressure test can accurately detect leaks and help leads pinpoint the exact location of the problem. An increase in energy bills indicates that the homeowner should check your ductwork for possible leaks.
Abnormally High Usage of Energy
Signs of HVAC air duct leaks can lead to abnormally high energy usage and should not be taken lightly. The energy loss from HVAC air duct leakage can often be mistaken for signs of normal wear and tear, but it can lead to several issues, such as higher energy bills and higher humidity levels.
If a leak is suspected, one should take the time to investigate. Ensure a professional inspects the air ducts for any suspicious signs.
Obtaining an energy audit can also be beneficial in identifying any air duct leaks and related energy loss. Fixing air duct leaks can help save energy and money in the long run.
Drafts Near Air Vents
Signs of an HVAC air duct leak can often be detected near air vents. Air drafts usually indicate this. This is caused when air escapes from the leaking sections of the duct system.
Leaks can cause a decrease in the airflow from the vents, resulting in weakened airflow and inadequate heating and cooling from the HVAC system. In more severe cases, the leaks can reduce the system’s efficiency.
This can increase the amount of energy consumed and raise utility bills. If any of these symptoms occur, a professional must inspect the duct system to identify and repair any leaks.
Air duct leaks can lead to poor indoor air quality caused by dirt buildup. Dirt can build up in the air ducts, pulling air from outside and circulating it inside the home.
Dirt buildup in the air ducts is a sign of a leak and should be checked immediately. Cracks could cause this, as openings in the ducts or even holes that can be hard to detect.
Dirt buildup also leads to inefficiencies in the HVAC system. This results in higher energy bills as air is being wasted.
Not only is undesired dirt being brought in, but the amount of air needed to be heated or cooled is increased. A professional should be consulted to detect and seal the air duct leak accurately and to remove the dirt that has built up inside the ducts.
Whistling Air Noises
When it comes to signs of HVAC air duct leaks, one of the most common and apparent signs is whistling air noise. This noise generally occurs as air escapes through a damaged ductwork part. This leads to a distinct whistling sound.
Affected areas of the ductwork may need to be patched or sealed to eliminate the whistling noise from the air ducts. A qualified HVAC technician should be contacted to inspect the air ducts and make the necessary repairs. Adequately sealed air ducts will keep your home comfortable and energy efficient.
Discoloration or Corrosion of Nearby Walls
Discoloration or corrosion of nearby walls can identify HVAC air duct leaks. A combination of poor environmental control, inadequate sealing of ducts, and other factors such as humidity or poor ventilation may cause corrosion.
Poor sealing of ducts allows air to escape, resulting in increased moisture levels in the home. This can lead to the accumulation of condensation on pipework near sheet metal ducts, leaving behind patches of discolored paint, indicating possible water infiltration.
Warped, swollen, cracked, and even peeling paint on walls and ceilings near HVAC systems may suggest air leakage. If you see signs of discoloration or corrosion of nearby walls, it’s time to call an HVAC specialist who can inspect your ducts to identify potential air leakage and repair it as necessary.
If you are worried about any of these, then it’s time for you to get more information on duct sealing and learn how to deal with the leaks properly.
Repairing a Leaky HVAC Air Duct
The signs of HVAC air duct leaks, such as high energy bills, dust, or debris, should not be ignored. Leaks can lead to decreased air quality and energy efficiency.
To ensure your air ducts are operating in good condition, it is best to contact a professional HVAC technician. Schedule a technician today and get your air ducts evaluated. Are you looking for more tips? We’ve got you covered. Check out the rest of our blog on our website.

Zopiclone is a benzodiazepine analog drug, that is, it behaves and acts like a benzodiazepine, but its chemical structure is a little different, these drugs are also known as Z Drugs. Instead of a pyridine ring, it is a cyclopyrrone, which mimics this structure, and which allows the rest of the molecule to bind to the GABA-complex Through a different site than benzodiazepines. Zopiclone is a sleep-inducing agent. It has been shown to shorten the time to sleep and reduce the incidence of nocturnal awakenings, thereby increasing the quality of sleep and morning awakening. Likewise, zopiclone is a drug with sedative, anxiety-reducing properties, with the ability to combat seizures and with muscle-relaxing effects. However, one of its main uses is in the short-term treatment of insomnia in adults.
What is Insomnia?
is an issue that comprises the capability to nod off or to keep it. It can also manifest itself through multiple awakenings throughout the night or an early morning awakening. The outcome is low quality of rest and inadequate rest. This disorder significantly affects the quality of life and its most immediate consequences are daytime sleepiness, low concentration and the inability to maintain an active life. In the long term it can favor the development of various diseases. In fact, it is estimated that the risk of mortality increases significantly in those who sleep less than 6 hours a day. Insomnia symptoms are not difficult to distinguish, as the patient himself sees troubles in nodding off or gets up right away. Lack of rest manifests itself throughout the day causing fatigue, weakness and, in extreme cases, even slowness when processing information, irritability
Causes of insomnia
A sleeping disorder might be the fundamental issue or it could be related to different conditions. Chronic insomnia is often caused by stress, life events, or habits that disrupt sleep. The absolute most continuous causes are the accompanying:
- Worries related to work, school, wellbeing, funds or family can keep the brain dynamic around evening time, making it hard to rest.
- Travel or work hours. Circadian rhythms go about as an inward clock and control the circadian cycle, digestion, and internal heat level. Interruption of the body's circadian rhythms can cause a sleeping disorder.
- Bad sleep habits. Bad sleep habits include irregular bedtime, naps, stimulating activities before bed, an uncomfortable sleeping environment, and using the bed to work, eat, or watch television.
- Overeating at night. It's okay to have a light snack before bed, but overeating can cause physical discomfort when lying down.
Main Uses of Zopiclone
Specialists endorse zopiclone for rest rhythm issues and for all types of a sleeping disorder, particularly when there are troubles nodding off, either initially or after a premature awakening. Zopiclone is mainly prescribed in cases of insomnia, not only with conciliation but also with maintenance, since it reduces sleep latency and its sedative effects are maintained for several hours. In contrast to different hypnotics, zopiclone doesn't essentially change sleep architecture. In general, zopiclone treatment is limited to one to two weeks, or a maximum of one month. This is because of the way that the organism creates pharmacological resistance easily, subsequently, to acquire similar impacts, the dose should be progressively expanded.
Background and history
Zopiclone is a non-benzodiazepine sedative derived from cyclopyrrolone, which produces varying degrees of central nervous system depression and is dose dependent. Although not structurally related to benzodiazepines, its pharmacological profile is similar, particularly with nitrazepam. The Z drugs emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Zopiclone was approved by the British National Health Service early 1989, followed by zolpidem developed by Sanofi. Zopiclone was created and developed by Rhône-Poulenc SA in 1986, a company that currently belongs to one of the most important pharmaceutical companies in the world, Sanofi-Aventis. At first, it was touted as the evolution of benzodiazepines. However, recent studies have not shown any improvement over benzodiazepines in any respect. In April 2005, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) warned that evidence was found that the drug can be as addictive as benzodiazepines, classifying it under schedule IV Zopiclone, as customarily sold around the world, is a racemic combination of two stereoisomers , just one of which is active. In 2005, a pharmaceutical company in Massachusetts, called Sepracor, began an advertising campaign in the United States for a drug called Lunesta, it was the active stereoisomer, eszopiclone. This had the result of putting what is a generic medication in most of the world under patent control in the United States. Generic forms of Lunesta have since opened up in the United States. Zopiclone is right now accessible off-patent in various European nations, just as Brazil, Canada, and Hong Kong. The eszopiclone / zopiclone contrast is in the dose — the strongest eszopiclone measurements contains 3 mg of the active stereoisomer, while the most elevated zopiclone dose (10 mg) contains 5 mg of the therapeutic stereoisomer. The two agents have not been studied in clinical trials to decide the presence of any likely clinical contrasts (viability, efficacy, creating dependence on the medication, safety, and so forth)
Characteristics of Zopiclone
Zopiclone has agonistic on the benzodiazepine receptors BZ1, related to the release of GABA or gamma-aminobutyric acid. GABA, which reduces the excitability of neurons, is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system; it also favors muscle relaxation. This mechanism of action is equivalent to that of benzodiazepines, which have been the most widely used anxiolytics for many decades. Both types of drugs bind to the same classes of GABAergic receptor, producing very similar therapeutic effects and adverse reactions. Nonetheless, zopiclone affects brain waves during rest, not as much as benzodiazepines. This medication abbreviates stage I sleep (which clarifies why it diminishes sleep latency), however does not alter REM phase. It also prolongs the slow wave stages and phase II, which can be positive or in any case not too disruptive. It is a rapidly absorbing psychotropic drug whose maximum potency occurs within 2 hours of administration, although the effects begin to be noticeable after 1 hour. The half-life time ranges between 4 and a half hours and 7 and a half hours, approximately; This is why it is effective in treating early awakenings.
Generally, zopiclone is available as 7.5 milligram tablets for oral administration following the dosages listed below: Adults: the usual dose is 7.5 mg taken before bedtime. Elderly and / or debilitated patients: the recommended starting dose is 3.75 mg, which can be increased if necessary, to 7.5 mg before bedtime. Treatment with zopiclone should not exceed 7-10 consecutive days. Use for more than 2-3 weeks should require a complete re-evaluation of the patient. Since sleep disorders can be the first manifestation of physical or psychiatric problems, the symptomatic treatment of insomnia should be started only after a careful evaluation of the patient by the specialist.
Farmacos Z vs. Benzodiazepines
When comparing zaleplon, zolpidem and zopiclone with each other and with the benzodiazepines, it was concluded that the two pharmacological groups appear to be equally safe and effective in the treatment of insomnia. Regarding the efficacy and safety of treatments for insomnia, benzodiazepine hypnotics and z-drugs are just as effective, although the former have a higher risk of unwanted effects. A recent study showed that there is no significant difference in the efficacy and appearance of side effects according to the perspective of the participants who took benzodiazepines compared to those who took z-drugs. There are also no differences of interest in terms of dependence or the appearance of withdrawal symptoms. The comparison of benzodiazepines with drugs "z" in the treatment of insomnia does not leave clear and conclusive results to decline the pharmacological balance for one or the other. The two groups of drugs appear to be equally effective and safe, although there may be small differences in relation to adverse effects in favor of the new hypnotics (z-drugs).
The search for new drugs that are equally effective as benzodiazepines but with fewer side effects led to the development of a new generation of hypnotics called Z compounds: zaleplon, zolpidem, zopiclone, and the most recent member of the group, eszopiclone (active enantiomer of zopiclone ). Initially, the Z compounds were presented as promising hypnotics that will revolutionize the treatment of insomnia, due to their effectiveness, low incidence of adverse effects, and their reduced potential for dependence and abuse. However, with the boom in its use worldwide, reports of adverse effects increased, leading to the restriction of its use, prescription and disposal. Indeed, some studies claim that these hypnotics are effective against insomnia and that they have a safer clinical profile when compared to their predecessors, while other studies show that there is not enough evidence to assert their safety In a broad sense, Z drugs are characterized by being rapidly absorbed orally and by having a short plasma half-life, which makes them ideal for reducing sleep latency and reducing residual effects. Of the group, Zopiclone is the one with the highest latency and half-life with potential for residual effects, only being surpassed by Eszopiclone, which has an active metabolite that prolongs its half-life, followed by Zolpidem with a half-life of 2. 5 hours approximately and its onset of action is faster than that of Zopiclone. Finally, Zaleplon is the compound Z with the shortest latency and half-life, which makes it a hypnotic with no residual effects.
Zopiclone Vs Eszopiclone
Like zopiclone, eszopiclone is a manufactured compound demonstrated to be powerful in treating sleep deprivation. The selectivity of cyclopyrrolones gives more noteworthy advantages contrasted with benzodiazepines, as the previous supports the mesmerizing impact without creating critical anxiolytic and/or muscle unwinding impacts. Eszopiclone is viable in the treatment of sleep deprivation, improving the seriousness of a sleeping disorder and showing an ideal security safety profile. Treatment with eszopiclone also resulted in longer total rest time and more prominent rest efficiency by polysomnography than zopiclone. Be that as it may, further examinations might be needed to approve the polysomnographic results.
The adverse effects of zopiclone are, in general, frequent and moderately important. The toxicological profile of this drug is similar to that of anxiolytic benzodiazepines. In most cases, adverse reactions are a prolongation of pharmacological action and mainly affect the central nervous system. The most characteristic adverse reactions are: Frequently (10-25%): drowsiness, confusion and ataxia, especially in the elderly and debilitated, and if these symptoms persist, the dose should be reduced; dizziness, sedation, headache, depression, disorientation, dysphasia or dysarthria, reduced concentration, tremor, changes in libido, urinary incontinence, urinary retention, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, taste disturbances (bitter or metallic taste), dry mouth, hypersalivation, epigastric pain.Occasionally (1-9%):
hepatitis, jaundice, dermatitis, urticaria, pruritus, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia, behavioral disturbances, anterograde amnesia, paradoxical excitement, psychosis, vision disturbances, diplopia, nystagmus, disturbances audition.
Rarely (<1%): respiratory depression, hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, tachycardia, palpitations.
With prolonged use, dependence develops. The abrupt interruption of a treatment at usual doses can cause withdrawal syndrome (anxiety, agitation, aggressiveness, insomnia, tremor, muscle spasm). If the treatment is with high doses, the withdrawal syndrome can be severe (delirium and seizures). The treatment will not be interrupted abruptly, nor will the doses be modified, without consulting the doctor (the interruption will be done gradually over 4-8 weeks).
Animal studies have not recorded embryotoxic or teratogenic effects. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans. The use of this medicine is only accepted in the absence of safer therapeutic alternatives.
Zopiclone is excreted in human milk in small amounts. The possible effects on the nursing infant are unknown. It is recommended to stop breastfeeding or avoid the administration of this medicine.
The safety and efficacy of the use of zopiclone in children under 18 years of age have not been established. Use is not recommended in children under 18 years of age.
The elderly and / or debilitated patients show greater sensitivity to impaired motor and / or cognitive function after repeated exposure to hypnotic or sedative drugs. These patients may also be more sensitive to the adverse effects of these drugs. It is recommended to use a reduced starting dose in order to reduce the incidence of adverse effects. Precautionary use, recommending monitoring.
Effects on the ability to drive
Benzodiazepines tend to cause decreased reflexes, small disturbances in psychomotor coordination and alertness. Therefore, patients treated with these drugs should avoid driving or operating complex machinery as much as possible, especially during the early hours of the morning if they have taken the drug at night (due to residual drowsiness). Do not drink alcoholic beverages.
As with other benzodiazepines, overdose is not life threatening unless its administration is combined with other central depressants (including alcohol). Benzodiazepine overdose is generally manifested by varying degrees of central nervous system depression, which can range from drowsiness to coma. In moderate cases, symptoms include drowsiness, confusion, and lethargy. In more serious cases, ataxia, hypotonia, hypotension, respiratory depression, rarely coma and very rarely death may appear.
Take into account the possibility that the patient has ingested multiple products. Vomiting should be induced (within an hour) if the patient remains unconscious or a gastric lavage should be performed with preservation of the airway if the patient is unconscious. If gastric emptying is of no benefit, activated charcoal should be given to reduce absorption. Particular attention should be paid to respiratory and cardiovascular functions if the patient requires admission to an intensive care unit.
Flumazenil can be used.

Great to put you out and keep you sound asleep. You can still wake up for a pee in the middle of the night, lie back down, and go to sleep until you wake in the morning. I rate it the best sleep tablet I have ever taken
I take Zopiclone at 9 pm daily, go to bed at 11, fall directly to sleep, and sleep straight through the night. If I take it at 11, I don't sleep till 1. It usually takes 2 hours to kick in. I have had no side effects or any rapid heart rate or hallucinations. I've been taking Zopiclone for a few years now.
I have been taking Zopiclone for around 6-7 years. It takes about 45 to 60 minutes to make me start nodding off. I got insomnia when I was still relatively young. I did try different meds but they gave me a headache every morning. But Zopiclone has been working fine for me.
