Filter by:Very premature birth and the necessary hospitalization expose to a risk of morbidity and mortality which impacts the neurodevelopmental prognosis. Sleep and behavior monitoring have not been developed in the neonatal units. This has to be improved since it is known from clinical and animal studies that the quality, organization and quantity of sleep in very preterm infants impact neurological development and brain plasticity. The collection system provide neonatal care nurse with access to motion curves (evaluated by signal processing of live video) and real-time infrared video (also available in low-light conditions). This new non-invasive technology allows an evaluation of the activity cycles of the newborn by the caregivers which until now was only accessible occasionally by short recordings of actigraphy or polysomnography. The investigators wish to demonstrate that this can contribute to an organization of care that respects the sleep patterns of the newborn, which they know to condition the neurodevelopmental prognosis.
Nocturia is prevalent in older adults and it vastly reduces quality of life. Yet its treatment remains inadequate because its causes are not well understood, especially nocturnal polyuria or increased urine production at night. This study, which builds on the investigators' ongoing research, would be the first of its kind to explore the role of sleep in nighttime urine production. The findings will contribute important knowledge to guide development of better targeted and more effective therapy for this prevalent and morbid condition.
The aim of this trial is to investigate the effects of a single bout of aerobic exercise on sleep in patients with depression.
This intervention study will investigate the effect of therapy light rooms on sleep, circadian rhythms, mood, behavioural problems and function in nursing home (NH) patients with dementia.
The investigators want to validate the Sleep Diversity Index as a diagnosis tool of sleep fragmentation on 405 patients who will perform a polysomnography under spontaneous breathing.
The purpose of the study is to determine the precision of an unobtrusive sleep measurement system. The system measures a force sensor signal under the mattress and analyzes sleep quality. The system measures: time in bed, sleep stages, sleep fragmentation, heart rate, respiration rate, sleep related breathing disorders, and limb movements.
The overall goal of this research is to elucidate how environmental, healthcare, and patient-level factors and patients' level of perceived control impact sleep duration and quality in hospitalized older patients and to assess whether better in-hospital sleep is associated with improved physical activity and health outcomes. We hypothesize that environment, healthcare disruptions and patient symptoms will be significantly associated with objective and subjective sleep duration and sleep quality in hospitalized older patients. We also hypothesize that a high level of perceived control will be associated with improved sleep duration and quality in hospitalized older patients. We further hypothesize that shorter sleep duration and quality in hospitalized older adults will be associated with adverse health outcomes, namely higher blood pressure and blood sugar.
