Remote Monitoring of Sympathovagal Imbalance During Sleep and Its Implications in Cardiovascular Risk Assessment: A Systematic Review.

Nocturnal sympathetic overdrive is an early indicator of cardiovascular (CV) disease, emphasizing the importance of reliable remote patient monitoring (RPM) for autonomic function during sleep. To be effective, RPM systems must be accurate, non-intrusive, and cost-effective. This review evaluates non-invasive technologies, metrics, and algorithms for tracking nocturnal autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, assessing their CV relevance and feasibility for integration into RPM systems.

An unconventional approach to evaluating the environmental role of a productive system: An environmental assessment of beef farms in North-West Italy.

The environmental impact of livestock is often evaluated separately from the other agricultural activities involved in an integrated system, such as that of the rearing of Piemontese cattle in the area of origin of the breed. The most frequently used assessment methods (e.g.

Maturation-dependent changes in cortical and thalamic activity during sleep slow waves: Insights from a combined EEG-fMRI study.

Introduction: Studies using scalp EEG have shown that slow waves (0.5-4 Hz), the most prominent hallmark of NREM sleep, undergo relevant changes from childhood to adulthood, mirroring brain structural modifications and the acquisition of cognitive skills. Here we used simultaneous EEG-fMRI to investigate the cortical and subcortical correlates of slow waves in school-age children and determine their relative developmental changes.
