Effect of infant sleeping position on sleep spindles [PDF]

Journal of Sleep Research, 2003
SUMMARYSleep spindles play an active role in inducing and maintaining sleep and may affect arousal by blocking the transmission of external stimuli through the thalamus to the cortex. Previously we have demonstrated that sleeping in the prone position impairs arousal in infants at 2–3 months of age, but not at 5–6 months.

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Assessment of a biometric shirt for sleep body position identification in epilepsy

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundPatients with uncontrolled epilepsy are at increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Evidence suggests that sleeping prone or being in a prone position after a seizure may increase the risk of SUDEP.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

A Comprehensive Experimental Comparison of Event Driven and Multi-Threaded Sensor Node Operating Systems [PDF]

, 2007
The capabilities of a sensor network are strongly influenced by the operating system used on the sensor nodes. In general, two different sensor network operating system types are currently considered: event driven and multi-threaded.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

A Sleep Position Trainer for positional sleep apnea: a randomized, controlled trial [PDF]

Journal of Sleep Research, 2017
SummaryWe tested the effect of the Sleep Position Trainer, a vibrational device, for positional sleep apnea in an open, randomized controlled trial with 101 patients, where 52 patients were allocated to Sleep Position Trainer and 49 patients to a non‐treatment control group for 2 months (Part 1). All patients were then followed as a cohort for a period
