An at-home evaluation of a light intervention to mitigate sleep inertia symptoms.

Objectives: Under laboratory settings, light exposure upon waking at night improves sleep inertia symptoms. We investigated whether a field-deployable light source would mitigate sleep inertia in a real-world setting.

Methods: Thirty-six participants (18 female; 26.

Reconfigurations in brain networks upon awakening from slow wave sleep: Interventions and implications in neural communication.

Sleep inertia is the brief period of impaired alertness and performance experienced immediately after waking. Little is known about the neural mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. A better understanding of the neural processes during sleep inertia may offer insight into the awakening process.

Sex differences in perceptions of sleep inertia following nighttime awakenings.

Study Objectives: The influence of biological sex on sleep inertia symptoms is currently unknown. We investigated the role of sex differences in the subjective experience and objective cognitive manifestation of sleep inertia following nighttime awakenings.

Methods: Thirty-two healthy adults (16 female, 25.

Rise and shine: The use of polychromatic short-wavelength-enriched light to mitigate sleep inertia at night following awakening from slow-wave sleep.

Sleep inertia is the brief period of performance impairment and reduced alertness experienced after waking, especially from slow-wave sleep. We assessed the efficacy of polychromatic short-wavelength-enriched light to improve vigilant attention, alertness and mood immediately after waking from slow-wave sleep at night. Twelve participants (six female, 23.

Supervision of a self-driving vehicle unmasks latent sleepiness relative to manually controlled driving.

Human error has been implicated as a causal factor in a large proportion of road accidents. Automated driving systems purport to mitigate this risk, but self-driving systems that allow a driver to entirely disengage from the driving task also require the driver to monitor the environment and take control when necessary. Given that sleep loss impairs monitoring performance and there is a high prevalence of sleep deficiency in modern society, we hypothesized that supervising a self-driving vehicle would unmask latent sleepiness compared to manually controlled driving among individuals following their typical sleep schedules.

Changes in performance and bio-mathematical model performance predictions during 45 days of sleep restriction in a simulated space mission.

Lunar habitation and exploration of space beyond low-Earth orbit will require small crews to live in isolation and confinement while maintaining a high level of performance with limited support from mission control. Astronauts only achieve approximately 6 h of sleep per night, but few studies have linked sleep deficiency in space to performance impairment. We studied crewmembers over 45 days during a simulated space mission that included 5 h of sleep opportunity on weekdays and 8 h of sleep on weekends to characterize changes in performance on the psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) and subjective fatigue ratings.

An evaluation of fatigue factors in maritime pilot work scheduling.

Maritime piloting operations involve on-call work schedules that may lead to sleep loss and circadian misalignment. Our study documented pilot work scheduling practices (n = 61) over a one-year period. Most pilots worked a week-on/week-off schedule.

Rumination-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy for residual depression: phase II randomised controlled trial.

Background: About 20% of major depressive episodes become chronic and medication-refractory and also appear to be less responsive to standard cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT).

Aims: To test whether CBT developed from behavioural activation principles that explicitly and exclusively targets depressive rumination enhances treatment as usual (TAU) in reducing residual depression.

Method: Forty-two consecutively recruited participants meeting criteria for medication-refractory residual depression were randomly allocated to TAU v.

Rumination-focused cognitive behaviour therapy for residual depression: a case series.

The treatment of chronic and recurrent depression is a priority for the development of new interventions. The maintenance of residual symptoms following acute treatment for depression is a risk factor for both chronic depression and further relapse/recurrence. This open case series provides the first data on a cognitive-behavioural treatment for residual depression that explicitly targets depressive rumination.

Reliability and interobserver variability of ultrasonographic measurement of gastric emptying rate.

Scintigraphy and real-time ultrasound are valid techniques to measure parameters of gastric emptying. However, scintigraphy involves exposure to ionizing radiation, while the precision of real-time ultrasound has not been previously evaluated. The objectives of the present study were to determine the inter observer and day-to-day variability of liquid gastric emptying rate measured by real-time ultrasonography in healthy volunteers and to compare the gastric emptying rate of males and females.

The value of angiography in the surgical management of pancreatic disease.

Selective visceral angiography should help to determine the nature and extent of pancreatic lesions and their suitability for resection. Between 1980 and 1987 coeliac and superior mesenteric angiograms were obtained in 76 patients considered for pancreatic resection. Anomalous arterial anatomy was delineated in 25%.

Turcot's syndrome. A review.

Turcot's syndrome represents the association between familial multiple polyposis coli and neural tumors. The syndrome is reviewed with reference to genetics, colonic and central nervous system manifestations. This evidence suggests that Turcot's syndrome represents one manifestation of the pleiotropic autosomal dominant gene responsible for familial polyposis coli and the associated extracolonic manifestations of Gardner's syndrome.

Osteoclast-rich osteosarcoma.

Nine cases of primary osteoclast-rich osteosarcoma, an undifferentiated sarcoma with an overabundance of osteoclasts and a paucity of tumour osteoid, are reported. They comprise about 3% of all primary osteosarcomas and are histologically related to telangiectatic osteosarcoma, another undifferentiated tumour with abundant osteoclasts and scanty osteoid, perhaps being a predominantly solid variant of the latter. Many of the classical radiological features of an osteosarcoma are absent in these cases and differentiation from a benign lesion is sometimes difficult.
