Background: Hyperarousal in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is manifested during sleep as well as waking. Elevated rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) phasic activity, likely signifying central nervous system alerting, has been identified in PTSD. The authors reasoned that PTSD compared to control subjects would show particularly increased REMS phasic activity on the first night of polysomnography, with adaptation to a novel environment.
Methods: First-night polysomnograms of 17 veterans with PTSD were compared with those of 11 control subjects. Sleep was also studied in subsets of both groups over two nights.
Results: On the first night, the PTSD subjects had a higher density of rapid eye movements in the first REMS period. This measure was increased on the first compared to the second night, but there was no interaction effect between night and group.
Conclusions: REMS changes are again demonstrated in veterans with PTSD. Introduction to a novel environment activated a REMS phasic process, but not differentially in PTSD compared to control subjects.

Label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with machine learning (ML) techniques presents a promising approach for rapid pathogen identification. Previous studies have demonstrated that purine degradation metabolites are the primary contributors to SERS spectra; however, generating these distinguishable spectra typically requires a long incubation time (>10 h) at room temperature. Moreover, the lack of attention to spectral variations between strains of the same bacterial species has limited the generalizability of ML models in real-world applications.

Background: Isolated rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is characterized by abnormal behaviors in REM sleep and is considered as a prodromal symptom of alpha-synucleinopathies. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) studies have unveiled altered functional connectivity (rsFC) in patients with iRBD. However, the associations between intra- and inter-network rsFC with clinical symptoms and neuropsychological functioning in iRBD remain unclear.

However, relying on a single-sideband (SSB) filter to eliminate crosstalk from zero-order and conjugate noise leads to an enormous decrease in the utilization of spatial bandwidth product (SBP). In this paper, we develop a new strategy for the binary hologram optimization framework to enable the full utilization of SBP of DMD holographic display by minimizing conjugate noise.

Background: Isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is characterized by loss of the normal atonia of REM sleep accompanied by repetitive motor and behavior phenomena of dream content.
Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the original form of the Innsbruck Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Diagnostic Inventory (IRBD-9) scale (IRBD-9-TR) and ensure that this screening test can be easily used in the Turkish language.
Methods: The present is a multicenter and prospective study involving 184 patients: 51 with iRBD and 133 healthy controls.
