BACKGROUND: Persistent pain in breast cancer survivors is common. Psychological and sleep-related factors modulate perception, interpretation and coping with pain and may contribute to the clinical phenotype. The present analysis pursued the hypothes...
OBJECTIVE: Currently, manual scoring is the gold standard of leg movement scoring (LMs) and periodic LMs (PLMS) in overnight polysomnography (PSG) studies, which is subject to inter-scorer variability. The objective of this study is to design and val...
There has been an increasing attention to the study of stress. Particularly, college students often experience high levels of stress that are linked to several negative outcomes concerning academic functioning, physical, and mental health. In this pa...
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the association between sleep HRV and long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes, and further explore whether HRV features can assist the automatic CVD prediction.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In recent years, several automatic sleep stage classification methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) by learning hierarchical feature representation automatically from raw EEG data have been proposed. However, ...
Sleep quality is an important health indicator, and the current measurements of sleep rely on questionnaires, polysomnography, etc., which are intrusive, expensive or time consuming. Therefore, a more nonintrusive, inexpensive and convenient method n...

In type 1 diabetes management, maintaining nocturnal blood glucose within target range can be challenging. Although semi-automatic systems to modulate insulin pump delivery, such as low-glucose insulin suspension and the artificial pancreas, are star...
OBJECTIVE: In this work, a dense recurrent convolutional neural network (DRCNN) was constructed to detect sleep disorders including arousal, apnea and hypopnea using polysomnography (PSG) measurement channels provided in the 2018 PhysioNet Challenge ...

Hypoglycemia or low blood glucose is the most feared complication of insulin treatment of diabetes. For people with diabetes, the mismatch between the insulin therapy and the body's physiology could increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Nocturnal hypogl...
A neural network model was previously developed to predict melatonin rhythms accurately from blue light and skin temperature recordings in individuals on a fixed sleep schedule. This study aimed to test the generalizability of the model to other slee...
