Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare a 2-lead frontal electroencephalogram recording to a formal polysomnography (PSG) in detecting sleep vs. wake and depth of sleep in both healthy and ICU patients.
Due to the increased focus on education and changing lifestyle, college students are particularly susceptible to poor overall health and wellness due to inadequate sleep and poor dietary choices. This is particularly important because the behavioral choices college students make may affect their risk of chronic disease. This study will research these topics via an online survey, in person visit and stool sample.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of chronic neck pain on sleep quality and to determine the factors that may be related to sleep disturbance.
Recent studies in animal models have suggested a critical role for cerebrospinal fluid and Interstitial fluid flux through cerebral parenchyma for removal of byproducts of cellular metabolism and hence in maintaining the health of the brain. This effect is modulated during sleep, suggesting a potentially important mechanism for sleep to maintain both acute homeostasis and long-term cerebral health. The central goal of these studies is to develop a sensitive MRI biomarker of cerebral conformational changes during sleep. This exploratory work aims to establish the sensitivity and reproducibility of MRI as a non-invasive neuroimaging assessment of cerebral changes during natural sleep and sedation.
a case study of a man with a unique condition that negatively affects his sleep architecture. we want to study this man's sleep and see (through interviews) how his condition affects his ability to dream
The specific objective of the proposed research is to examine whether naps contribute to immediate and delayed benefits on multiple forms of learning in young children (3-5 yrs). By probing recall prior to and following mid-day nap or wake intervals, the overarching hypothesis is that recent memories are actively processed (as opposed to passively protected) by a nap, conferring immediate or delayed (24-hrs) benefits on declarative (Aim 1), procedural (Aim 2), and emotional (Aim 3) memories. In two conditions, children will either be nap-promoted or wake-promoted midday. Subsequently, performance will be reassessed that day as well as the following day.
This study evaluates the use of actigraphy-derived measures to improve prognostication in patients with advanced cancer.
Wireless wearable devices (WWD) have been shown to be an effective means to measure patient activity and sleep-wake cycles in the ICU. However, no current studies involving WWD have demonstrated the ability of these devices to measure adverse outcomes, including delirium in critically ill patients. This study is unique because the investigators will implement monitoring with the WWD prior to extubation in the ICU to correctly measure first mobilization, as well as capture quality of sleep and episodes of delirium for the first five postoperative days.
This study will investigate the effect of two dietary patterns on sleep outcomes and measures of reported appetite. Participants will be given two different diets on two separate stays.
This study aimed to pilot test a non-pharmacological (behavioral) treatment program targeting improved cognition through improving 24-h sleep-wake cycle in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild Alzheimer's disease. A treatment program incorporating bright light therapy and a modified cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia will be developed to address 24-hour patterns of sleep. We will then pilot test its feasibility and explore its preliminary effects on improving sleep/napping and cognition in patients with MCI or mild Alzheimer's disease.
