Twelve subjects were studied for a total of 30 nights uninterrupted sleep by simultaneous recording EEG, eye movements, heart rate, respiration, and systolic blood pressure. In agreement with previous reports, progressive decreases in respiratory rates an early fall followed sustained rise pressure found to be consistent base-line trends. Superimposed upon these trends coinciding the regular recurrence stage I rapid movements (REM) there periodic changes three functions two kinds: a) slight...
Plasma growth hormone (GH) was measured during sleep in 12 normal volunteers of various ages and 6 patients with acromegaly. Four the over 50 yr age failed to show a sleep-peak GH. The presence or absence GH normals not consistently related occurrence slow-wave sleep. None acromegalics showed usual peak early
Seven patients with intractable narcolepsy were treated the monoamine oxidase inhibitor, phenelzine. Striking reductions in amount of cataplectic attacks, sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations noted. In addition, daytime sleeping hypersomnia diminished, but side effects (hypotension, edema, impaired sexual function) bothersome. Phenelzine almost completely suppressed rapid-eye-movement remained effective for periods more than a year. Although dreams frequently reported before drug...
Sleep patterns were studied longitudinally in six acute schizophrenic patients throughout most of their hospital stays, ranging from 25 to 224 consecutive nights, and the data compared with those 15 normal control subjects. The sleep these showed unique differences subjects as well severely depressed under experimental conditions. However, no definitive interpretation findings can yet be made; further extensive systematic case studies are needed determine whether disturbances reported here...
BACKGROUND Patient navigation may reduce cancer disparities associated with socioeconomic status (SES) and household factors. This study examined whether these factors were delays in diagnostic resolution among patients screening abnormalities patient ameliorated delays. METHODS analyzed data from 5 of 10 centers the National Cancer Institute's Navigation Research Program, which collected SES on employment, income, education, housing, marital status, composition. The primary outcome was time...
Man's wondering about his dreams has been singularly intertwined with the history of psychiatry, and understanding one grown<i>pari passu</i>with that other. Whatever sophistication concerning meaning thus attained, until very recently our view dreaming itself remained essentially granted by common experience. The traditional conception dreaming, even as it was assumed in Freud's penetrating studies, described an occasional, unpredictable, fleeting, mysterious psychic anomaly. Over past...
1. Cerium (2 mg/kg) causes an early decrease in serum glucose and a later significant increase plasma free fatty acids followed by degeneration of the liver. 2. Conditions that prevent acid liver responses are (a) administration cerium as bound complex or particle, (b) use hypophysec-tomized, diabetic, male rats.
Drug abuse treatment programs in six regions of the United States collaborated a study aimed at monitoring trends seroprevalence human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies. The wide disparities HIV face similarities drug using behavior have important implications for prevention.

Baltimore, Maryland, 29 184) representing 11 positive. contrast, distant...
Systolic blood pressure measurements were made on normal human subjects throughout entire nights of natural sleep and correlated with cyclical changes in electroencephalographic patterns. During the recurrent rapid-eye-movement phase mean levels found to be generally higher, minute-to-minute variability level was much greater than during remainder sleep.
