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 ...
The clinical utility of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in reducing the risks of transitioning from acute to chronic pain in traumatically injured patients
(Elsevier, 2017-07-08)
Pain is a multifaceted condition and a major ongoing challenge for healthcare professionals having to treat patients in whom pain put them at risk of developing other conditions. Significant efforts have been invested in ...
Obstructive sleep apnea and the risk of cognitive decline in older adults
(American Thoracic Society, 2019-01-15)
Obstructive sleep apnea causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and affects at least 20% of individuals after the age of 65. There is accumulating evidence that obstructive sleep apnea may impact brain structure ...
Gray matter hypertrophy and thickening with obstructive sleep apnea in middle-aged and older adults
Gray matter increases with obstructive sleep apnea
(American Thoracic Society, 2017-06-01)
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea causes intermittent hypoxemia, hemodynamic fluctuations,
and sleep fragmentation, all of which could damage cerebral gray matter that can be indirectly
assessed with neuroimaging.
Objectives: ...
A longitudinal investigation of sleep and daytime wakefulness in children and youth with concussion
(SAGE, 2019-01-10)
A high proportion of adults who sustain a concussion identify changes in their sleep during the acute stage, typically
reporting an increased need for sleep or nonrestful sleep. Our understanding of sleep following ...
The impact of poor sleep on cognition and activities of daily living after traumatic brain injury : a review
Sleep and everyday activities after TBI
(Wiley, 2014)
Background/aim : Patients frequently report sleep disrup-tions or insomnia during their hospital stay, particularlyafter a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The consequences ofthese sleep disturbances on everyday activities ...
Investigating the incidence and magnitude of heterotopic ossification with and without joints involvement in patients with a limb fracture and mild traumatic brain injury
(Elsevier, 2019-08-13)
Objectives: This study seeks to evaluate the incidence rate of heterotopic ossification (HO) formation in patients
afflicted by an isolated limb fracture (ILF) and a concomitant mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Methods: ...
Sleep oscillation-specific associations with Alzheimer’s disease CSF biomarkers : novel roles for sleep spindles and tau
(BMC, 2019-02-21)
Background: Based on associations between sleep spindles, cognition, and sleep-dependent memory processing,
here we evaluated potential relationships between levels of CSF Aβ42, P-tau, and T-tau with sleep spindle ...
Brain white matter damage and its association with neuronal synchrony during sleep
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-28)
The restorative function of sleep partly relies on its ability to deeply synchronize cerebral networks to create large slow oscillations observable with EEG. However, whether a brain can properly synchronize and produce a ...
Evolution of severe sleep-wake cycle disturbances following traumatic brain injury: a case study in both acute and subacute phases post-injury
(BMC, 2016)
Background. Sleep-wake disturbances are frequently reported following traumatic brain injury (TBI), but they remain poorly documented in the acute stage of injury. Little is known about their origin and evolution. Case ...
