EEG connectivity across sleep cycles and age
(American academy of sleep medicine, 2019-11-06)
Study Objectives
In young adults, sleep is associated with important changes in cerebral connectivity during the first cycle of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Our study aimed to evaluate how electroencephalography ...
Lessons learned from field experiences on hospitals’ resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic : a systematic approach
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-07-20)
In this concluding article of the special issue, we examine lessons learned from hospitals’ resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, and Mali. A quality lesson learned (QLL) results from a ...
Smartphone use as an efficient tool to improve anomia in primary progressive aphasia
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-03-05)
Cognitive interventions are helpful in the non-pharmacologicalmanagement of Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and otherneurodegenerative disorders of cognition, by helpingpatients to compensate for their cognitive ...
Sleep spindles are resilient to extensive white matter deterioration
(Oxford University Press, 2020-06-13)
Sleep spindles are an essential part of non-rapid eye movement sleep, notably involved in sleep consolidation, cognition, learning
and memory. These oscillatory waves depend on an interaction loop between the thalamus and ...
Do professionals change their communication behaviours following a training in hypnosis-derived communication? : a feasibility study in pediatric oncology
(Elsevier, 2020-05-21)
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of a training in hypnotic communication techniques (HCTech) for pediatric nurses to prevent procedural pain and distress in children during venipunctures. ...

Changes in hair cortisol and self-reported stress measures following mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) : a proof-of-concept study in pediatric hematology-oncology professionals
(Elsevier, 2020-10-23)
Background and purpose
Little data is available on the effect of mindfulness amongst pediatric hematology-oncology professionals. The purpose was to further document change in biological and psychological stress following ...
Are age and sex effects on sleep slow waves only a matter of EEG amplitude ?
(Oxford University Press, 2020-09-15)
Aging is associated with reduced slow wave (SW) density (number SW/min in nonrapid-eye movement sleep) and amplitude.
It has been proposed that an age-related decrease in SW density may be due to a reduction in ...
