TL;DR: The present data support a prevailing activation of the Th1‐type cytokine pattern in OSAS patients, which is not associated with the severity and duration of OSAS.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Selective deactivation of heteromodal association cortices, including those related to language, occurs with increasingly deep NREM sleep, which supports the recent theory that sleep is not a global, but it is a local process of the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep-related periodic leg movements (nocturnal myoclonus) due to spinal cord lesion.
TL;DR: Ten patients with involuntary leg movements due to myelopathy were studied clinically and polysomnographically and it was suggested that PLM of spinal cord origin has a common mechanisms with spinal automatism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influences of corticotropin-releasing hormone, adrenocorticotropin, and cortisol on sleep in normal man
TL;DR: Results suggest that cortisol has a sleep modulatory effect, and ACTH specifically altered sleep, in that it inhibited the cortisol-induced increase in SWS and peripherally administered CRH had no intrinsic influence on sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep duration and all-cause mortality: a critical review of measurement and associations
Lianne M. Kurina,Martha K. McClintock,Jen-Hao Chen,Linda J. Waite,Ronald A. Thisted,Diane S. Lauderdale +5 more
TL;DR: It is premature to conclude, as previous reviews have, that a robust, U-shaped association between sleep duration and mortality risk exists across populations, but careful attention must be paid to measurement, response bias, confounding, and reverse causation in the interpretation of associations between sleepduration and mortality.
