Although the course of posttraumatic stress symptoms may vary according to type of trauma, most disaster studies show that symptoms are prominent in close proximity to the traumatic event and most often decline within the first year [ 4, 9, 10].
With advances in neuroimaging, segmentation of these structures can be completed with automated programmes which are widely available, reproducible, and thus, if these regions prove to be markers of decline with repetitive traumatic brain injury, they have the potential to become clinically useful and readily calculated biomarkers.
To determine the point prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in a community-based sample of older male veterans and to determine if common markers of SDB apply to this population.Two hundred fourteen older male Veterans (age 55-89 years) were recruited for a study on post-traumatic stress disorder and cognitive decline.
