Abstract

Conventional polysomnographic (PSG) sleep staging to sleep staging based on a static-charge-sensitive bed (SCSB) recording in infants and young children was compared. The study consisted of whole-night clinical sleep studies in 22 children at 24 weeks (SD 24, range 1-79 weeks) of age. Most of the children presented with respiratory disturbances during sleep. From the SCSB record, sleep stages were differentiated according to regularity of breathing, presence of body movements, and most important, presence of high-frequency components of breathing (SCSB spikes). With both methods, three sleep/wake stages were distinguished: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and wakefulness. The average interscorer reliability of the PSG sleep staging controlled in nine subjects was 88%. The average concordance between the two methods ranged from 82 to 85%, depending on the criteria used for scoring the SCSB. The mean sensitivity of the SCSB to detect NREM sleep ranged from 77 to 90% and the mean sensitivity to detect REM sleep ranged from 61 to 86%. The mean positive predictive value was 89-96% for NREM sleep and 54-67% for REM sleep. In conclusion, REM sleep is characterized by irregular breathing with superimp...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
