Actigraphy testing when used alone. Actigraphy, which consists of a small portable device that senses physical motion and stores the resulting information, has been used in research studies for the evaluation of rest-activity cycles. This technique, when used alone (single channel study), has not ...
Apnea testing for the deter‑ mination of brain death: a modified protocol. Technical note J Neurosurg. 1992;76(6):1029–31. 19. Solek-Pastuszka J, Sawicki M, Iwańczuk W, Bohatyrewicz R. Ventilator-deliv‑ ered continuous positive airway pressure for apnea test in the diagnosis of...
The low-force protocol used for acquiring EMG signals in this study did not account for variations across the respiratory cycle, which might contain crucial diagnostic information. Future protocols should consider including dynamic muscle activity to capture a broader range of physiological data. The va...
ProtocolHuman subject testingPurposeIn recent years, point-of-care (POC) devices, especially smart wearables, have been introduced to provide a cost-effective, comfortable, and accessible alternative to polysomnography (PSG)—the current gold standard—for the monitoring, screening, and diagnosis of ...
Thus multiple night testing may be enabled by a home test powered by OxiNet. Some of the databases used in this study were collected at home. This includes the SHHS database. UHV, CFS, MROS and MESA were collected at the hospital. The performance was high for all databases with no ...
In this protocol, you will learn about the different causes of sleep apnea and why it is important to have the condition properly diagnosed and treated. You will also learn about lifestyle and dietary habits that can supplement traditional treatment of sleep apnea. Dietary supplements that target...
30 All cohorts used a standardized protocol to complete overnight, home-based type II PSGs between 1995 and 1998. Participants from each cohort were invited to complete an initial home-based PSG using the Compumedics P Series System (Abbotsford). Electroencephalogram (C3A2 and C4A1), electro...
The plan should include (1) stepwise preoperative screening procedures for OSA, (2) an optimized anesthesia regimen and sedation protocol for this high-risk group which eliminates drug-induced respiratory depressant effects at the end of the case, (3) intraoperative neuromuscular monitoring with goal...
Methodologic details have been published9 ; see the Protocol in Supplement 1 and the Supplemental Methods in Supplement 2 for details. Eligible children were aged 3 to 12.9 years, had tonsillar hypertrophy and mild SDB (defined by habitual snoring [occurring most of the night on at least 3 ...
Total RNA from primary and THP-1 monocytes was extracted using the innuPREP RNA Mini Kit 2.0 (IST Innuscreen GmbH, Berlin, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. cDNA of total RNA (100–300 ng) was synthesized with the M-MuLV reverse transcriptase (New England Biolabs, Frankfurt...
