Obstructive Sleep Apnea Alters Sleep Stage Transition Dynamics
Enhanced characterization of sleep architecture, compared with routine polysomnographic metrics such as stage percentages and sleep efficiency, may improve the predictive phenotyping of fragmented sleep. One approach involves using stage transition analysis to characterize sleep continuity.We analyzed hypnograms from Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS ...

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy due to Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in PIGM
ABSTRACT Objective PIGM encodes a critical enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchor biosynthesis pathway. While promoter‐region mutations in PIGM have been associated with a relatively mild phenotype characterized by portal vein thrombosis and absence seizures, recent evidence suggests that coding‐region mutations result in a more severe

Characterization of Sleep Stages by Correlations of Heartbeat Increments
We study correlation properties of the magnitude and the sign of the increments in the time intervals between successive heartbeats during light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep using the detrended fluctuation analysis method.

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Recurrence of Autoimmune Encephalitis
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a disease with a potential for recurrence, and patients receive immunotherapy to prevent it. However, there is no consensus on the duration of immunotherapy. This study aimed to determine the recurrence rate and identify the risk factors for AE to provide guidance on the duration of immunotherapy ...

CSF Monoamine Metabolites and Cognitive Trajectory in Early Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Background Imaging and postmortem studies indicate that abnormalities in monoaminergic neurotransmission contribute to cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it remains uncertain if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) monoamine metabolites can serve as biomarkers of cognitive decline in early PD.

Factors affecting the sleep of one-year-olds : a pilot study using objective monitoring of New Zealand infants : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Psychology at Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand [PDF]
Sleep takes time to mature and in infancy the structure and cycle of sleep differs greatly to that of adults. Data concerning normative sleep of infants is lacking due to few studies using objective measures.

Sleep Stage Determines the ExpressionPattern of Sleep Apneas
We report on an obese man with sleep stage-dependent apnea. His type of apnea was predominantly central during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, while it was obstructive during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. We found significantly more and more severe apneas during REM sleep compared to NREM sleep.
