Sleep disturbance after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is commonly reported as debilitating and persistent. However, the nature of this poorly understood. This study sought to characterize sleep mTBI compared with a control group. A cross-sectional matched case design was used. Thirty-three persons recent (1-6 months ago) 33 age, sex, ethnicity controls completed established questionnaires quality, quantity, timing, sleep-related daytime impairment. The participants were an independent...
Resilience is 1 of several factors that are thought to contribute outcome following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This study explored the predictors postconcussional syndrome (PCS) symptoms can occur mTBI. We hypothesized a reported recent mTBI and lower psychological resilience would predict worse PCS symptomatology.233 participants completed Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) Brief Scale (BRS). Three NSI scores were used define symptomatology. A total 35 an (as operationally...
The primary objective was to determine if poor sleep predicts postconcussion symptoms in the subacute period after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). impact of pre- and post-injury examined. research design cross-sectional. After screening detect response invalidity, 61 individuals with a self-reported history TBI 1-to-6 months prior answered an online fixed order battery standardized questionnaires assessing their (current preinjury) persistent (Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory, minus...
The timing, intensity, and duration of exposure to both artificial natural light have acute metabolic physiological effects in mammals. Recent research human adults suggests moderate intensity later the day is concurrently associated with increased body mass; however, no studies investigated effect on mass young children. We examined objectively measured 48 preschool-aged children at baseline, their again 12 months later. At earlier was index (BMI). Increased baseline predicted BMI 12-months...
To characterize and compare the sleep-wake behavior of individuals following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) with that noninjured healthy controls.Community.Fourteen participants recent mTBI (Mage = 28.07; SD 10.45; n 10 females) 34 controls 23.70; 7.30; 31 females).Cross-sectional.Battery subjective sleep measures 14 days monitoring via actigraphy (objective measurement) concurrent daily diary.Participants who had sustained an self-reported significantly higher sleep-related...
A high luminance contrast between windows and surrounding surfaces can increase the risk of discomfort glare, which diminish office workers’ satisfaction productivity. Accordingly, it lead to occupant interventions, such as drawing window blinds or increasing electric light levels, are intended enhance indoor visual comfort but counterproductively act energy consumption. Increasing areas using a supplementary lighting system, wall-washing with emitting diode (LED) linear luminaires, could...
Objective: To investigate the influence of assessment method (spontaneous report versus checklist) on postconcussive syndrome (PCS) symptoms after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Setting: Community. Participants: Thirty-six participants (58% female) with postacute self-reported mTBI (i.e., sustained 1–6 months prior to participation) and 36 age-, gender-, ethnicity-matched controls no history mTBI. Design: Cross-sectional. Main measures: Spontaneous symptom from open-ended questions...
Exposure to environmental changes in windows are essential sustain healthy conditions indoors; however, there no procedures for capturing these variations dynamically. In this study, we provide the foundations building a framework aimed at understanding effects of luminous variability window views. First, labelled sample views (n = 40) using surface layout approach, resulting four view type categories. Next, captured time-lapse imagery from selected 8) produce panorama sequences. We...
Occupant behaviour (OB) models relating to daylighting and blind use have been developed for cellular office configurations.However, this is not the case large open plan offices that represent different spatial, occupancy characteristics.This paper presents a methodology simulate annual based on daylight availability offices.A novel multi-directional illuminance grid was used use; account multiple view-points occupants.The results found method can be predict in improve building performance...
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate sleep‐wake behavior and gain insights into perceived impairment (sleep, fatigue, cognitive function) athletes competing in two international multi‐day adventure races. Twenty‐four took part across independent races: Queensland, Australia Alaska, USA. Individual sleep periods were determined via actigraphy, racers self‐reported their disturbances, impairment, fatigue function. Each these indices calculated for pre‐, during‐ post‐race periods....
