Latest AI and machine learning research in sleep disorders for healthcare professionals.
Traditional sleep staging with non-overlapping 30-second epochs overlooks multiple sleep-wake transitions. We aimed to overcome this by analyzing the sleep architecture in more detail with deep learning methods and hypothesized that the traditional sleep staging underestimates the sleep fragmentation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. To test this hypothesis, we applied deep learning-based...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: while traditional sleep staging is achieved through the visual - expert-based - annotation of a polysomnography, it has the disadvantages of being unpractical and expensive. Alternatives have been developed over the years to relieve sleep staging from its heavy requirements, through the collection of more easily assessable signals and its automation using machine learnin...
Increasing recognition of anatomical obstruction has resulted in a large variety of sleep surgeries to improve anatomic collapse of obstructive sleep ...
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder. It is caused by an increased upper airway resistance duri...
The time of dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) is the gold standard for circadian phase assessment in humans, but collection of samples for DLMO is time...
Sleep is important for cow health and shows promise as a tool for assessing welfare, but methods to accurately distinguish between important sleep sta...
Sleep disturbances are common in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, and together represent a potential therapeutic target for ...
We investigated the differential spatial covariance pattern of blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) responses to single-task and multitask functional m...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep disorder that disrupts breathing during sleep and is associated with many other medical condit...
PURPOSE: The main purpose of this work was to develop an efficient approach for segmentation of structures that are relevant for diagnosis and treatme...
PURPOSE: Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a prevalent sleep disorder in which apnea and hypopnea occur frequently during sleep and result in increase of ...
Performance of wrist actigraphy in assessing sleep not only depends on the sensor technology of the actigraph hardware but also on the attributes of ...
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is extremely harmful to the human body and may cause neurological dysfunction and endocrine dysfunct...
Sleep stage scoring is the first step towards quantitative analysis of sleep using polysomnography (PSG) recordings. However, although PSG is a gold s...
BACKGROUND: Sleep scoring is an essential but time-consuming process, and therefore automatic sleep scoring is crucial and urgent to help address the ...
Studies from the literature show that the prevalence of sleep disorder in children is far higher than that in adults. Although much research effort ha...
OBJECTIVE: Sleep quality has a significant impact on human mental and physical health. The detection of sleep-wake states is thus of paramount importa...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder, usually diagnosed using an expensive, highly specialized, and inconvenient test call...
BACKGROUND: Approximately 500,000 children undergo tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) annually for treatment of obstructive sleep disordered breath...
Accurately diagnosing sleep disorders is essential for clinical assessments and treatments. Polysomnography (PSG) has long been used for detection of ...
