Filter by:This is a single-center observational study on adolescents to determine predictors of the early steps of the formation of atherosclerosis and to quantify their influence on Intima-Media-Thickness of the carotid artery and the aorta and on the Pulse-Wave Velocity. A long-term follow-up by means of record linkage is furthermore planned to evaluate the effect of early atherosclerosis and the cardiovascular risk profile on future morbidity with a special focus cardio- and cerebrovascular events.
Meta-analyses demonstrate that sleep spindles, characterizing NREM sleep, may be a physiological index of high-level cognitive processes. The aim of the study is to determine if sleep spindles can predict interindividual variation in attention and cognitive performance. Relationship between attention and cognitive performance and sleep spindles characteristics (density, frequency and amplitude) recording during 1 night in 80 healthy subject (aged between 18-75y), will be calculated.
Introduction: Poor sleep quality is common in most older adults. Because of the progressive aging of the population in Spain, there are more and more nursing-home and day centers, which give care to older adults. However, the attention focused on some difficulty related to sleep has not been thoroughly investigated. The use of wearable devices, which measure some parameters such as the sleep stages, can help to determine the influence of quality sleep in the health state among nursing-home residents. Objective: To analyze the sleep quality and its influence on the daily life of nursing-home residents through the use of assessment tools and Xiaomi MiBand 2. Methods and analysis: This is an observational and analytical study whose objective is the observation and registration of variables of a determined population without the intervention of the researcher and establishing relations between association variables and causality. It is also considered as longitudinal since the follow-up of some of the characteristics of the population will be performed during a period of time. The study is set in a nursing-home in A Coruña (Spain). Xiaomi MiBand 2 will be used to measure biomedical parameters and different assessment tools will be administered to participants for evaluating their sleep quality, cognitive state, and daily functioning. For the statistical analysis, T-Test and ANOVA analysis will be used to compare the means between variables. Also, a Chi-Square test will be used to study the association of qualitative variables. Finally, a multivariate analysis of logistic regression will be performed to determine the variables associated with the presence of the dichotomous variable of interest.
Investigators will recruit up to 100 families (children aged 12.0 to 14.9 months and their primary caregivers) at their scheduled 12-month well child care infant visit at Temple Pediatric Care. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the impact of implementation of a bedtime routine program, Connect, Calm, & Comfort: 3 Cs for Bedtime ZZZs, to promote better sleep and improve developmental outcomes in toddlers from primarily low-income families.
The study aims to investigate the effects of Cognitive Behavioural therapy intervention on sleep and it's effects on well-being, dietary intake and food preferences during COVID-19. The study will investigate whether delivery of a CBT intervention will lead to an improvement in sleep quality and sleep duration and will consequently improve metabolic health. The participants will be randomized into two groups with one half in the intervention arm and the other in the control arm of the study.
The first objective of this work is to compare the performances of three electroencephalogram based indices, the qCON index, the qNOX index and the bispectral index (BIS), in patients receiving gastrointestinal surgery during first postoperative night. Secondly, their behaviors under general anesthesia are also pointed out. The qCON and qNOX indices are implemented in an Angel 6000 monitor (WellHealth Medical Co Ltd., Shenzhen, China), and BIS indices are recorded in a BIS monitor (Aspect Medical Systems, Norwood, MA, USA). Data will be obtained from 30 patients scheduled for selective surgery undergoing general anesthesia with a combination of propofol, sufentanil and cis-atracurium in the first Hospital of China Medical University. The values of qCON, qNOX and BIS were statistically compared. The qCON, qNOX indices are recorded together with BIS during the whole operation period (Awake- Anesthesia-Recovery stages), as well as during the first night postoperatively (from 8:00pm to 06:00am). The values of qCON, qNOX and BIS were statistically compared. The Consistency evaluation will be conducted between qCON/qNOX and BIS.
Investigators will recruit up to 100 families (children aged 8-12 years and their primary caregivers) from the Philadelphia-area Beds for Kids charity program, which provides beds, bedding, and sleep education to lower-socioeconomic status (SES) children. The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether bed provision combined with provider-delivered sleep health education can improve sleep in children participating in the Beds for Kids program.
Evaluating a wellness program developed to provide effective sustainable solutions for medical professionals providing care to COVID-19 pandemic patients.
This is a quasi-experimental study with pre-post assessment using a convenience sample of Calm and Oura employees. We will employ two weeks of baseline data collection and administer the intervention for four-weeks. Participants will be randomized to one of three groups (i.e., general meditations, sleep meditations, or Sleep Stories). Self-report assessments will be conducted during baseline periods and during week 1 and week 4 of the intervention. Sleep diaries and objective (i.e., Oura ring and Calm app) usage data will be collected on a continual basis during intervention. The purpose of this study is to: 1. Test the preliminary effects of using Calm (daytime vs nighttime) for four weeks on sleep outcomes (sleep quality, sleep onset, sleep efficiency, number of nighttime awakenings, total sleep time) using self-report and objective measures. 1. Self-report: Sleep diaries, pre-sleep arousal (Pre-Sleep Arousal Survey), fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale), daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale), insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) 2. Objective: Oura ring (sleep onset, sleep efficiency, number of nighttime awakenings, total sleep time, REM/light/deep sleep). 2. Test the preliminary effects of using Calm (daytime vs nighttime) on neurophysiological outcomes [heart rate variability (HRV), heart rate, respiratory rate] as measured by the Oura ring during meditation and after four-weeks of mobile meditation practice.
This study aims to evaluate the agreement between automated sleep analysis by UNEEG medical's 24/7 EEG™ SubQ device using a deep learning algorithm and the consensus score of multiple sleep technologists' manual scoring of 120 gold-standard polysomnograms (PSG) from healthy subjects.
