Multiunit electromyogram recordings of genioglossus have demonstrated an abrupt reduction in the muscle's activity at sleep onset. Recent evidence from single motor unit indicates that human muscle consists units with a variety discharge patterns. The aim present study was to determine effect onset on individual as function their particular pattern.Genioglossus assessed using intramuscular fine-wire electrodes via percutaneous approach. Sleep onsets (alpha-to-theta transitions) were...
Drowsiness is a major risk factor for motor vehicle and occupational accidents. Real-time objective indicators of drowsiness could potentially identify drowsy individuals with the goal intervening before an accident occurs. Several ocular measures are promising drowsiness; however, there lack studies evaluating their accuracy detecting behavioral impairment due to in real time.In this study, eye movement parameters were measured during vigilance tasks following restricted sleep rested state...
Study Objectives:Single motor unit recordings of the human genioglossus muscle reveal units with a variety discharge patterns. Integrated multiunit electromyographic have demonstrated an abrupt increase in muscle's activity at arousal from sleep. The aim present study was to determine effect sleep on individual as function their particular pattern.
Drowsiness leads to 20% of fatal road crashes, while inability assess drowsiness has hampered interventions. This study examined the accuracy eye-blink parameters for detecting related driving impairment in real time.
Introduction Analysis of data from HIV testing and counseling (HTC) services provides an opportunity to identify important populations for targeting prevention efforts. Our primary aim was describe the demographics clients presenting HTC in Bangladesh, a low prevalence country. secondary determine risk factors positivity among returning migrant workers who were tested. Methods We performed cross-sectional study collected between 2002 2010 first service established located three large cities....
Abstract Objective Benzodiazepines impair driving ability and psychomotor function. Eyelid parameters accurately reflect drowsiness; however, the effects of benzodiazepines on these measures have not been extensively studied. The aim this study was to investigate effect eyelid evaluate their accuracy for detecting impairment. Methods were recorded during a vigilance task (PVT) simulation over 2 days, baseline, after 20‐mg oral temazepam. utility PVT lapses evaluated using receiver operating...
Summary Drowsy driving is a major cause of fatal and serious injury motor vehicle accidents. The inability objectively to assess drowsiness has hindered the assessment fitness drive development drowsy regulations. This study evaluated whether spontaneous eye blink parameters measured briefly pre‐ post‐drive could be used detect impairment. Twelve healthy participants (6 female) drove an instrumented for 2 h on closed‐loop track during rested (8–10 awake) extended wake condition (32–34...
Regan-Heng Zhang was selected for the cover.The art work depicts muscle resident stem cells with potential myogenic activity including satellite (orange), PW1 interstital (PIC, green) fibro/adipogenic progenitors (blue), and perivascular cells/pericytes (yellow) residing on between fibers of adult tissue.TGFbeta family members, myostatin which inhibits growth, are potent regulators cell function, regeneration, fibrosis.Overlaid original artwork is crystal structure myostatin/ follistatin...
Driver drowsiness detection technology that assesses eye blinks is increasingly being used as a safety intervention in the transport industry. It unclear how alcohol consumption to common legal driving limits impacts upon this technology. The aim of study was assess impact blood content (BAC) 0.05% and 0.08% on during simulated driving.
