A circadian based inflammatory response – implications for respiratory disease and treatment

Maria Comas, Christopher J. Gordon, Brian G. Oliver et al. · 21 Sep 2017

Circadian clocks regulate the daily timing of many of our physiological, metabolic and biochemical functions. The immune system also displays circadian oscillations in immune cell count, synthesis and cytokine release, clock gene expression in cells and organs of the immune system as well as clock-controlled genes that regulate immune function. Circadian disruption leads to dysregulation…

Sleep problems in excessive technology use among adolescent: a systemic review and meta-analysis

Inadequate sleep quantity and quality is a public health concern with an array of detrimental health outcomes. Portable technological devices have become a ubiquitous part of adolescents’ lives and may affect their sleep duration and quality. The purpose of this study was to summarize published analyses of various technology uses and sleep outcomes and to…

Sleep and aging

Caroline J. Lavoie, Michelle Zeidler, Jennifer L. Martin · 23 Feb 2018

Abstract This review describes normal and disordered sleep in the older adult population. Although several distinctive sleep changes across the lifespan are normative, including changes in the amount of time spent in different stages of sleep and a shift in the timing of circadian rhythms, sleep disorders are also common in late life. Sleep-disordered breathing,…

The case for using digital EEG analysis in clinical sleep medicine

Magdy Younes · 3 Feb 2017

Evaluation of sleep in clinical polysomnograms continues to rely almost exclusively on visual scoring that implements rules proposed by Rechtschaffen and Kales nearly 50 years ago. Apart from its cost and time-consuming nature, visual scoring has limitations including: A) Sleep depth, which is a continuous variable, is treated as if it changes in a stepwise…

A review of sleep disturbances following traumatic brain injury

José Rafael P. Zuzuárregui, Kevin Bickart, Scott J. Kutscher · 16 Feb 2018

Sleep disorders are common following traumatic brain injury (TBI). We review the literature regarding sleep disturbances in the acute and chronic phase following TBI in both the adult and pediatric population. Acute and chronic disruption of sleep commonly follows TBI and contributes to morbidity commonly seen post-injury in both adults and children. This includes the…
