Preliminary evidence that daily light exposure enhances the antibody response to influenza vaccination in patients with dementia

Enhancing lighting conditions in institutions for individuals with dementia improves their sleep, circadian rhythms and well-being. Here, we report first findings that exposure to brighter light during daytime may support the immune response to the annual ...

Contactless Sleep Monitoring for Early Detection of Health Deteriorations in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Exploratory Study

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Philipp Buluschek, Bruno Pais

Background: Population aging is posing multiple social and economic challenges to society. One such challenge is the social and economic burden related to increased health care expenditure caused by early institutionalizations. The use of modern pervasive ...

Integrating non-visual effects of light in the automated daylight-responsive control of blinds and electric lighting

Marta Benedetti

The use of daylight in buildings is important because it contributes to energy savings by reducing the use of electric lighting and space heating. It also impacts on biological functions and on well-being. Indeed, light not only allows vision, but has non- ...

Sleep disturbance-related depressive symptom and brain volume reduction in shift-working nurses

Chang-Hyun Park

Disturbed sleep is the most common effect of shift work. A large corpus of research indicates an association between sleep disturbance and depressive symptom in shift workers. In this study, we proposed the mediating role of grey matter (GM) structure in t ...

Effects of composition and pressure on electronic states of iron in bridgmanite

Arnaud Magrez, Philippe Gillet, Susannah McGregor Dorfman

Electronic states of iron in the lower mantle's dominant mineral, (Mg,Fe,Al)(Fe,Al,Si)O-3 bridgmanite, control physical properties of the mantle including density, elasticity, and electrical and thermal conductivity. However, the determination of electroni ...

How to assess alerting effects of daylight at the workplace? Learnings from semi-controlled studies

Marilyne Andersen, Victoria Eugenia Soto Magán

Daylight, in which we evolved, is naturally rich in the blue component of the spectrum and has key properties when it comes to impacts on body functioning. Current lifestyles are driving the emergence of a 24-hour society that spends most of the time indoo ...

Personal CO2 cloud: laboratory measurements of metabolic CO2 inhalation zone concentration and dispersion in a typical office desk setting

Dusan Licina, Shichao Liu

Inhalation exposure to pure and metabolic elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has been associated with impaired work performance, lower perceived air quality, and increased health symptoms. In this study, the concentration of metabolic CO2 was cont ...

Circadian rhythms and proteomics: It's all about posttranslational modifications!

Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin

The circadian clock is a molecular endogenous timekeeping system and allows organisms to adjust their physiology and behavior to the geophysical time. Organized hierarchically, the master clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, coordinates peripheral clocks, ...

Spatial clusters of daytime sleepiness and association with nighttime noise levels in a Swiss general population (GeoHypnoLaus)

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Rebecca Himsl

INTRODUCTION: Daytime sleepiness is highly prevalent in the general adult population and has been linked to an increased risk of workplace and vehicle accidents, lower professional performance and poorer health. Despite the established relationship between ...

Analysis of U-Shape Patterns in RR-Interval Time Series During Sleep

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani, Alexandre Thierry Robert Cherqui

The proposed study investigates a phenomenon, defined as "U-patterns", that takes place in the RR-interval time series during sleep. These patterns are defined as a U-shaped decrease-increase in the RR-intervals, with a duration of 20 to 40 seconds with a ...

Meet Spinky: An Open-Source Spindle and K-Complex Detection Toolbox Validated on the Open-Access Montreal Archive of Sleep Studies (MASS)

Christian O'Reilly

Sleep spindles and K-complexes are among the most prominent micro-events observed in electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings during sleep. These EEG microstructures are thought to be hallmarks of sleep-related cognitive processes. Although tedious and tim ...

Regulation of Mammalian Physiology by interconnected Circadian and Feeding Rhythms

Cédric Gobet, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin, Florian Atger

Circadian clocks are endogenous timekeeping systems that adapt in an anticipatory fashion the physiology and behavior of most living organisms. In mammals, the master pacemaker resides in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and entrains peripheral clocks using a w ...

Comparison of acute non-visual bright light responses in patients with optic nerve disease, glaucoma and healthy controls

Lorette Leon

This study examined the effect of optic nerve disease, hence retinal ganglion cell loss, on nonvisual functions related to melanopsin signalling. Test subjects were patients with bilateral visual loss and optic atrophy from either hereditary optic neuropat ...

Low-loss Millimeter-wave Phase Shifters Based on Mechanical Reconfiguration

Juan Ramon Mosig, Herbert Shea, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Samuel Rosset, Pietro Romano, Oluwaseun Adelowo Araromi

We propose different concepts of mechanically reconfigurable true-time-delay phaseshifters using micro-actuators at millimeter-waves (MMW). The mechanical reconfiguration allows to achieve phase shift reconfiguration with very low losses. One of the propos ...

Optimal Investment and Premium Policies Under Risk Shifting and Solvency Regulation

Damir Filipovic

Limited liability creates an incentive for insurers to increase the risk of the assets and liabilities at the expense of policyholders. We show that solvency capital requirements restrict the set of feasible investment and premium policies and can thereby ...

Dual orexin receptor antagonists - promising agents in the treatment of sleep disorders

Damien Lapray

Insomnia is a serious medical and social problem, its prevalence in the general population ranges from 9 to 35% depending on the country and assessment method. Often, patients are subject to inappropriate and therefore dangerous pharmacotherapies that incl ...

Effects of total sleep deprivation on the perception of action capabilities

Jean-Baptiste Mignardot

Changes in a subject's state have been shown to modulate the perceptual update of his or her action capabilities. In parallel, sleep deprivation impairs in cognitive functions. It involves common neural structures that support the perception of successfull ...

Effects of prior light exposure on early evening performance, subjective sleepiness, and hormonal secretion

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Friedrich Linhart, Apiparn Borisuit

In sighted humans, light intensity, timing, exposure duration, and spectral composition of light are important to entrain the endogenous circadian pacemaker to the 24-h day-night cycle. We tested the impact of two realistic office lighting conditions durin ...

Light and chronobiology: Implications for health and disease

Mirjam Münch

Environmental light synchronizes the primary mammalian biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, as well as many peripheral clocks in tissues and cells, to the solar 24-hour day. Light is the strongest synchronizing agent (zeitgeber) for the circadia ...

The Impact of Sleep Fragmentation on Sleep Homeostasis, Brain and Peripheral Energy Metabolism and Spatial Learning

Maxime Olivier Baud

The quality of sleep has recently come to the forefront of public health concerns in industrialized nations. Indeed, voluntary sleep curtailment is widespread, sleep disorders are increasingly recognized and both correlate with the current epidemiology of ...
