TL;DR: It is found that SDB, regardless of the severity, was associated with increased BP during sleep and wake compared with nonsnoring control children, and the importance of considering the cardiovascular effects of SDB of any severity in children is highlighted.

TL;DR: This study identified vagal inhibition in association with episodes of PLMS in children and indicated parasympathetic inhibition during periods of periodic leg movement and the onset of individual leg movements were associated with cardiac acceleration followed by a return to pre-movement levels.

TL;DR: BP was measured non‐invasively and continuously overnight in 105 children aged 7–12 with a range of severities of SDB and 36 non‐snoring controls to examine nocturnal dipping profiles.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyze 15 years of nonautonomous and semi-autonomous USV-related literature to determine the factors limiting technological diffusion into everyday maritime operations and argue that the best value for money to advance USV uptake is for designs that offer cross-disciplinary applications and the ability to operate in an unsheltered open ocean without an escort or mothership.
