Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Pathology

Her main research concerns Sleep disorder, REM sleep behavior disorder, Polysomnography, Internal medicine and Dementia with Lewy bodies. Her work deals with themes such as Sleep apnea, Anesthesia and Eye movement, which intersect with Sleep disorder. Joan Santamaria focuses mostly in the field of REM sleep behavior disorder, narrowing it down to matters related to Obstructive sleep apnea and, in some cases, Hypopnea.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Rapid eye movement sleep and Central nervous system disease in addition to Polysomnography. She interconnects Endocrinology, Immunology and Cardiology in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine. She has included themes like Alzheimer's disease, Psychiatry, Cohort study and Parkinsonism in her Dementia with Lewy bodies study.

Her most cited work include:

  • Rapid-eye-movement sleep behaviour disorder as an early marker for a neurodegenerative disorder: a descriptive study (735 citations)
  • Neurodegenerative disease status and post-mortem pathology in idiopathic rapid-eye-movement sleep behaviour disorder: an observational cohort study (426 citations)
  • Decreased striatal dopamine transporter uptake and substantia nigra hyperechogenicity as risk markers of synucleinopathy in patients with idiopathic rapid-eye-movement sleep behaviour disorder: a prospective study (286 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in REM sleep behavior disorder, Internal medicine, Polysomnography, Anesthesia and Sleep disorder. Her research in REM sleep behavior disorder intersects with topics in Rapid eye movement sleep, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinsonism and Parasomnia. She combines subjects such as Substantia nigra and Neuroscience with her study of Parkinsonism.

The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Cardiology. Her research in Polysomnography intersects with topics in Multiple Sleep Latency Test, Excessive daytime sleepiness, Sleep apnea, Obstructive sleep apnea and Physical therapy. Her Sleep disorder research incorporates themes from Chorea, Central nervous system disease, Neurological disorder and Non-rapid eye movement sleep.

She most often published in these fields:

  • REM sleep behavior disorder (32.82%)
  • Internal medicine (26.67%)
  • Polysomnography (23.59%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • REM sleep behavior disorder (32.82%)
  • Dementia with Lewy bodies (15.38%)
  • Parkinson's disease (11.79%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary scientific interests are in REM sleep behavior disorder, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease, Polysomnography and Rapid eye movement sleep. Her REM sleep behavior disorder study is focused on Internal medicine and Sleep in non-human animals. She has researched Dementia with Lewy bodies in several fields, including Lewy body, Atrophy and Bioinformatics.

Her work deals with themes such as Glucocerebrosidase, Dementia, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Neuroscience, which intersect with Parkinson's disease. Her research investigates the link between Polysomnography and topics such as Sleep apnea that cross with problems in Physical therapy, Restless legs syndrome, Sleep medicine, Epilepsy and Comorbidity. The study incorporates disciplines such as Neuropsychology, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Putamen, Pathology and Behavior disorder in addition to Rapid eye movement sleep.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • α-Synuclein aggregates in labial salivary glands of idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. (19 citations)
  • Diagnosis of central disorders of hypersomnolence: A reappraisal by European experts. (18 citations)
  • Exploring the clinical features of narcolepsy type 1 versus narcolepsy type 2 from European Narcolepsy Network database with machine learning (16 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

Joan Santamaria mainly focuses on REM sleep behavior disorder, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Polysomnography, Narcolepsy and Sleep in non-human animals. Her study on REM sleep behavior disorder is covered under Parkinson's disease. Her Dementia with Lewy bodies research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rapid eye movement sleep, Occipital lobe, Locus coeruleus and Statistical parametric mapping.

The concepts of her Polysomnography study are interwoven with issues in Lower risk and Hazard ratio. She interconnects Immune system and Excessive daytime sleepiness in the investigation of issues within Narcolepsy. She works mostly in the field of Sleep in non-human animals, limiting it down to topics relating to Obstructive sleep apnea and, in certain cases, Audiology, as a part of the same area of interest.
