In psychology, the use of intensive longitudinal data has steeply increased during past decade.As a result, studying temporal dependencies in such with autoregressive modeling is becoming common practice.However, standard models are often suboptimal as they assume that parameters time-invariant.This problematic if changing dynamics (e.g., changes dependency process) govern time series.Often change process, emotional well-being therapy, very reason why it interesting and important to study...
The burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) is expected to grow rapidly with population aging, especially in low- middle-income countries, the next few decades. We used a willingness-to-pay approach project global, regional, national economic ADRDs from 2019 2050 under status quo.
Abstract Medical and long-term care for Alzheimer’s disease related dementias (ADRDs) can impose a large economic burden on individuals societies. We estimated the per capita cost of ADRDs in United States 2016 projected future aggregate costs during 2020–2060. Based previously published methodology, we used U.S. Health Retirement Survey (2010–2016) longitudinal data to estimate formal informal costs. In 2016, patient was $28,078 (95% confidence interval [CI]: $25,893–$30,433), valued terms...
Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (ADODs) severely threaten the wellbeing of older people, their families, communities, especially with projected exponential growth. Understanding macroeconomic implications ADODs for policy making is essential but under-researched.
The objective of this study was to assess the effects on heart rate variability (HRV) exposure different styles "relaxing" music. Autonomic responses musical stimuli were correlated with subjective preferences regarding relaxing properties each music style. Linear and nonlinear HRV analysis conducted in 25 healthy subjects exposed silence or classical, new age romantic melodies a random fashion. At end study, asked choose melody that they would use relax. low-to-high-frequency ratio...
Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS), we found that somnolence was independently and signifi cantly related to poor grades in language or math after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), the presence of snoring apneas. 2 sleep deprived children may lead reduced attention, causing impaired learning academic failure. 10background: A multi-step causality pathway connecting short duration daytime sleepiness leading attention performance as fi nal result can be envisaged.However...
To evaluate the effect of a housing transition on sleep quality and life in slum dwellers, participating upgrading program. Observational before-and-after study with convergent-parallel mixed method design. Five slums located metropolitan area Buenos Aires, Argentina. A total 150 dwellers benefited by program nonprofit organization TECHO (spanish word for "roof"). Participants moved from their very low-quality house to basic prefabricated 18 m2 modular provided TECHO. The Pittsburgh Sleep...
The Mars500 project was conceived to gather knowledge about the psychological and physiological effects of living in an enclosed environment during 520 d as would be required for a real mission Mars. Our objective investigate circadian profile heart rate variability (HRV) context study.Before, during, after confinement, 24-h EKG records were obtained from six crewmembers who participated mission. Autonomic activity evaluated through time frequency domain indexes HRV analysis. Circadian...
Sleep-related health disorders are increasing worldwide; diagnosis and treatment of such sleep diseases commonly invasive sometimes unpractical or expensive. Actigraphy has been recently introduced as a tool for the study circadian disorders; however, there several devices that claim to be useful research have not thoroughly tested. This comparative provides activity, temperature information regarding most used actigraphers: Micro-Mini Motion Logger; Act Trust; Misfit Flash; Fitbit Flex &...
Background:We have obtained previous evidence of limbic dysfunction in middle-aged, asymptomatic offspring late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) patients, and failure to recover from proactive semantic interference has been shown be a sensitive cognitive test other groups at risk for LOAD. Objective:To assess the effects specific deficits as they relate functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neocortical connectivity middle aged individuals with LOAD (O-LOAD) age-equivalent controls....
Abstract Background The main objective of this study was to describe the relationship between working conditions, sleep and psycho-affective variables medical errors. Methods This an observational, analytical cross-sectional in which 661 residents answered questionnaires about variables. Actigraphic parameters peripheral temperature circadian rhythm were measured a subgroup 38 subjects. Bivariate multivariate predictors errors assessed. Results Medical reported 66.2 ± 21.9 weekly hours....
