Sleep Patterns and Fatigue in New Mothers and Fathers
Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 311-318 - 2004
The purpose of this study was to describe the sleep patterns and fatigue of both
mothers and fathers before and after childbirth. The authors used wrist
actigraphy and questionnaires to estimate sleep and fatigue in 72 couples during
their last month of pregnancy and 1st month postpartum. Both parents experienced
more sleep disruption at night during the postpartum period as compared to the
last m...
Wound Bioburden and Infection-Related Complications in Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 44-53 - 2008
The identification and diagnosis of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) infections remains
a complex problem. Because inflammatory responses to microbial invasion may be
diminished in persons with diabetes, clinical signs of infection are often
absent in persons with DFUs when infection is limited to localized tissue. In
the absence of these clinical signs, microbial load is believed to be the best
indicato...
Cognitive Executive Dysfunction in Children with Mild Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 168-176 - 2004
In children, moderate or severe sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may impair
cognitive executive functions (EFs), including working memory, attention, and
mental flexibility. The main objective of this study was to assess EFs in
children with mild levels of SDB. Subjects for this descriptive study were 12
children (5 girls, 7 boys) aged 8.0 to 11.9 years (M = 9.0 ± 0.85) participating
in an ongoing...
Perceived Racial Discrimination and DNA Methylation Among African American Women in the InterGEN Study
Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 145-152 - 2018
Introduction: Experiences of racial discrimination have been associated with
poor health outcomes. Little is known, however, about how perceived racial
discrimination influences DNA methylation (DNAm) among African Americans (AAs).
We examined the association of experiences of discrimination with DNAm among AA
women in the Intergenerational Impact of Genetic and Psychological Factors on
Blood Pres...
Measuring Stress in Young Children Using Hair Cortisol: The State of the Science
Tập 19 Số 5 - Trang 499-510 - 2017
Extensive literature suggests that adverse experiences in early childhood may
deleteriously impact later health. These effects are thought to be related to
the impact of persistent or chronic stress on various biological processes,
mediated by dysregulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, and
ultimately irregularities in cortisol levels. Ameliorating persistent stress in
young ch...
Circulating Cell-Free DNA Differentiates Severity of Inflammation
Tập 18 Số 5 - Trang 477-488 - 2016
Introduction: As the U.S. population ages, the incidence of chronic disease will
rise. Chronic diseases have been linked to chronic inflammation. The purpose of
this review is to summarize the literature on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in relation
to inflammation. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched.
Inclusion criteria were noninterventional studies on acute and chronic
inflammation...
Serum Tryptophan Metabolite Levels During Sleep in Patients With and Without Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Tập 18 Số 2 - Trang 193-198 - 2016
Poor sleep and stress are more frequently reported by women with irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS) than by healthy control (HC) women. The pathophysiology linking
poor sleep and stress to gastrointestinal symptoms remains poorly understood. We
used a metabolomic approach to determine whether tryptophan (TRP) metabolites
differ between women with and without IBS and whether the levels are associated
w...
Serum Prolactin in Breastfeeding: State of the Science
Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 65-75 - 1999
Prolactin is one of two major hormones involved in lactation. While the role of
infant suckling and oxytocin in the lactation process are well understood, the
role of prolactin is less clear. A variety of factors related to prolactin have
been investigated, and these are used as an organizing framework for this
article. Factors include pregnancy, lactation, nursing frequency, prior
lactation exper...
Spatial Learning Responses to Lipopolysaccharide in Adult and Aged Rats
Tập 20 Số 1 - Trang 32-39 - 2018
Sickness behaviors, adaptive responses to infections, include lethargy,
depression, reduced eating and grooming, and concentration problems resulting
from interactions between the immune and neuroendocrine systems. Detecting these
responses is especially critical in the elderly, as the infections that cause
them can lead to cognitive impairment. While deficits in spatial learning, a
hippocampal-de...
Characterization of Spatial Learning and Sickness Responses in Aging Rats Following Recurrent Lipopolysaccharide Administration
Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 92-102 - 2020
Infections in older individuals can result in cognitive function decline, yet
research is limited on how recurrent infections affect cognitive responses.
Activation of the immune system results in sickness responses mediated by
cytokines. This pilot study examined effects of a model of recurrent infection
in aged, male Brown Norway rats on sickness responses, including spatial
learning, and cytoki...
