Genetics of sleep and sleep disorders [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2007
Genetic factors affect sleep. Studies in twin pairs demonstrate that the strong hereditary influences on sleep architecture and some sleep disorders are transmitted through families. Evidence like this strongly suggests that sleep regulation receives significant influence from genetic factors.

Sleep Model -- A Sequence Model for Predicting the Next Sleep Stage [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
As sleep disorders are becoming more prevalent there is an urgent need to classify sleep stages in a less disturbing way.In particular, sleep-stage classification using simple sensors, such as single-channel electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), electromyography (EMG), or electrocardiography (ECG) has gained substantial interest.

Numerical modelling of flow and transport in rough fractures

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2014
Simulation of flow and transport through rough walled rock fractures is investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and random walk (RW), respectively.

Is Sleep-Related Eating Disorder (SRED) a NREM Parasomnia or a Heterogenous Disease?

Clinical and Translational Neuroscience, 2023
Sleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is a relatively rare but probably underestimated disorder, where affected patients exhibit nocturnal eating episodes with impaired consciousness and subsequent amnesia. SRED has originally been classified as NREM (non-

Domain Invariant Representation Learning and Sleep Dynamics Modeling for Automatic Sleep Staging [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Sleep staging has become a critical task in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders to prevent sleep related diseases. With growing large scale sleep databases, significant progress has been made toward automatic sleep staging. However, previous studies face critical problems in sleep studies; the heterogeneity of subjects' physiological signals, the ...

High night-to-night variability in sleep apnea severity is associated with uncontrolled hypertension

npj Digital Medicine, 2023
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity can vary markedly from night-to-night. However, the impact of night-to-night variability in OSA severity on key cardiovascular outcomes such as hypertension is unknown.

Treating restless legs syndrome in the context of sleep disordered breathing comorbidity

European Respiratory Review, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) are two of the most prevalent sleep disorders and can coexist within the same patient. Nonetheless, the recognition of RLS among OSA patients has important clinical implications, since RLS ...

Irisin Is Correlated with Blood Pressure in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

International Journal of Hypertension, 2021
Background. Despite approximately 95% primary cases of hypertension, secondary hypertension seems to be common with resistant forms. Notably, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known as a common cause of secondary hypertension and has a major ...

Automatic Micro-sleep Detection under Car-driving Simulation Environment using Night-sleep EEG [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
A micro-sleep is a short sleep that lasts from 1 to 30 secs. Its detection during driving is crucial to prevent accidents that could claim a lot of people's lives. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is suitable to detect micro-sleep because EEG was associated with consciousness and sleep.

Evaluation of synaptotagmin‐1 action models by all‐atom molecular dynamics simulations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We used molecular dynamics simulations to test models proposing that synaptotagmin‐1 facilitates membrane fusion by perturbing lipid bilayers, inducing membrane curvature and/or bridging membranes. The simulations show that synaptotagmin‐1 C2‐domains placed near the site of fusion hinder the ability of SNARE complexes to bring the membranes together ...
