A rare case of REM sleep-related bradyarrhythmia syndrome with concomitant severe hypertension: a case report and a review of literature

Acta Medica Lituanica, 2018
Introduction. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep-related bradyarrhythmia syndrome is characterized by pathological asystoles during the REM sleep phase. It is a rare rhythm disorder, being reported only few times in the literature.

microRNA‐7‐5p and α‐Synuclein SAA Predict Parkinson's Disease Phenoconversion

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Corroborate blood neuron‐derived extracellular vesicle (NDEV) alpha‐synuclein (αSyn), the CSF αSyn seed amplification assay (αSyn‐SAA), and blood microRNA‐7‐5p (miR‐7‐5p) as markers for Parkinson's disease (PD) phenoconversion and determine if combining these markers would help select subjects who would be more likely to phenoconvert.

ScoreREM: A user-friendly Matlab-GUI for rapid eye movement (REM) sleep microstructure (Phasic/Tonic) annotation and quantification

SoftwareX
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep plays a crucial role in brain functions such as memory consolidation and mood regulation. Alterations in REM sleep and REM sleep behaviour disorders are early biomarkers of neurodegenerative disorders. The microstructure of

Associations of Lifestyle‐Related Factors and Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity: The Dutch South West Psoriatic Arthritis Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aims to investigate lifestyle‐related factors in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and their association with disease activity measurements. Methods This multicenter cohort included 938 patients who were newly diagnosed with PsA between 2013 and 2023.

Rapid Eye Movement (REM) rebound on initial exposure to CPAP therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Sleep Science and Practice, 2017
Objective Rapid Eye Movement (REM) rebound is a polysomnographic phenomenon where a substantial increase in REM sleep is noted in patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) when first undergoing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP ...

Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.

Characteristic Effects of Anti-dementia Drugs on Rat Sleep Patterns

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
The present study was undertaken to clarify the effects of anti-dementia drugs on sleep pattern in rats. Electrodes were chronically implanted into the frontal cortex and the dorsal neck muscle of rats for the electroencephalogram (EEG) and ...

Encapsulated Leptin‐Producing Cells Facilitate Entrainment of Circadian Rhythms in Rodents and Nonhuman Primates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A clinically translatable cell line can be engineered to produce leptin, encapsulated in biomaterial and safely implanted to produce and deliver the metabolic regulating protein within the body. Implantation of these encapsulated cells decreases the time it takes for mice and non‐human primates to adjust to circadian disruptions similar to those ...

Neural circuitry of rapid eye movement sleep homeostasis: Mechanistic insights and pathological implications

Sleep Research
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a unique brain state crucial for emotion, memory, and plasticity. Unlike well‐understood non‐REM (NREM) sleep homeostasis, REM sleep homeostasis remains less clearly defined.

Melanin-concentrating hormone neurons contribute to dysregulation of rapid eye movement sleep in narcolepsy

Neurobiology of Disease, 2018
The lateral hypothalamus contains neurons producing orexins that promote wakefulness and suppress REM sleep as well as neurons producing melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) that likely promote REM sleep.
