Measuring High-Resolution Sleep Position in Adolescents over 4 Nights with Smartphone Accelerometers.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2023
Sleep position affects sleep quality and the severity of different diseases. Classical methods to measure sleep position are complex, expensive, and difficult to use outside the laboratory. Wearables and smartphones can help to address these issues to track sleep position at home over several nights.

- - Necrotising sialometaplasia (NS) is a rare condition with limited understanding of its causes and effects, making diagnosis complex and essential for ruling out oral cancer.
- - A case study from Birmingham Dental Hospital involved a 22-year-old South Asian woman who experienced pain linked to her lower right third molar, initially misdiagnosed as a viral infection, but was ultimately found to have both NS and pericoronitis.
- - This report highlights the unique diagnosis and management of non-ulcerating NS along with pericoronitis, a combination not previously documented in scientific literature, showcasing the intricacies of diagnosing rare oral conditions.
Background: Acute respiratory syndrome due to coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is characterised by heterogeneous levels of disease severity. It is not necessarily apparent whether a patient will develop severe disease or not. This cross-sectional study explores whether acoustic properties of the cough sound of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2, correlate with their disease and pneumonia severity, with the aim of identifying patients with severe disease.

Several sequences of recurrent apnea were provoked in separate 15-min periods in anesthetized rats during an experimental model of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Morphology-based ECG markers and the beat-to-beat interval (RR) were assessed in each sequence.
