INTRODUCTION ETV6::JAK2 is a fusion known to drive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in the presence of other genomic lesions which define the JAK/STAT class of Philadelphia-like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (Ph-like ALL). Ph-like ALL comprises approximately 15% of ALL. Patients with mutations or gene fusions signaling through the JAK/STAT pathway have particularly poor prognosis.

Polysomnography (PSG) measures brain activity during sleep via electroencephalography (EEG) using six leads. Artifacts caused by movement or loose leads distort EEG measurements. We developed a method to automatically identify such artifacts in a PSG EEG trace.

Article Synopsis
  • Sleep spindles, which may play a role in glucose regulation, were significantly lower in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to healthy individuals.
  • A study of 952 T2DM patients and 952 matched controls revealed that T2DM patients had about half the spindle density during sleep, and this trend was confirmed in additional data from the Sleep Heart Health Study.
  • The reduction in spindle density in T2DM patients was associated with disease severity and glycemic control, suggesting a link between sleep disturbances and diabetes management.
