Profiling the sleep architecture of ageing adults using a seven‐state continuous‐time Markov model

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Sleep is a complex biological process regulated by networks of neurons and environmental factors. As one falls asleep, neurotransmitters from sleep–wake regulating neurones work in synergy to control the switching of different sleep states throughout the night. As sleep disorders or underlying neuropathology can manifest as irregular switching,

Respiratory safety of lemborexant in adult and elderly subjects with moderate‐to‐severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Lemborexant 10 mg, a dual orexin‐receptor antagonist (DORA), did not elicit respiratory depressant effects, as measured by peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) or apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), in subjects with moderate‐to‐severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Prevalence of Sleep Apnea and Sleepiness in Adults With and Without HIV in Mwanza, Tanzania: Baseline Results From an Ongoing Cohort Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted a cross‐sectional analysis of the baseline survey of participants aged > 30 years enrolled in the Mwanza HIV&CVD Cohort in Tanzania. Our primary objective was to examine the association between HIV status and sleep apnea (SA).

Neurometabolic Response to Apneic Stimuli Tracks Global Grey Matter Volume Deficits in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to cortical atrophy and increased risk of neurodegeneration, a process potentially mediated by neurometabolic dysregulation. Recent work using high temporal‐resolution metabolic MRI found greater changes in the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2) during cued breath‐hold stimuli ...

The Potential of Ensemble‐Based Automated Sleep Staging on Single‐Channel EEG Signal From a Wearable Device

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Machine‐learning‐based sleep staging models have achieved expert‐level performance on standard polysomnographic (PSG) data. However, their application to EEG recorded by wearable devices remains limited by non‐conventional referencing montage and the lack of benchmarking against PSG.

Delta‐9‐Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Before Bedtime: Feasibility and Mechanistic Pilot Study on Sleep and Cardiac Autonomic Activity

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disordered sleep is a common reason individuals report using cannabis, yet the physiological effects of Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) on sleep and autonomic regulation remain incompletely understood. Early studies reported acute sleep‐promoting effects of Δ9‐THC, but chronic use has been associated with disrupted sleep and possible ...

Nocturnal Sleep Breathing Patterns in Healthy Adolescents Residing at Very High Altitudes in Bolivia

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Data on sleep and respiratory patterns among adolescents residing at very high altitude (> 3500 m) remain scarce, and altitude‐related physiological differences may influence these parameters. Studying adolescents at different very high altitudes is crucial, as subtle environmental variations could affect sleep‐related oxygenation and ...

The comparison between the impacts of henna and nail polish on pulse oximetry among healthy women

Nursing Practice Today, 2015
Background & Aim: Pulse oximetry is a frequently used and standard non-invasive method for monitoring oxygen (O2)-saturation in blood. Many factors including dark skin and pigmentation may effect on rate of saturation of the blood oxygen absorbed by ...
