In Parkinson's Fly Model, Dementia Induced And Blocked
Parkinson's disease is well-known for impairing movement and causing tremors, but many patients also develop other serious problems, including sleep disturbances and significant losses in cognitive function known as dementia. Now researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have modeled Parkinson's-associated dementia for the first time.
Sleep disorder may lead to bad behavior in asthmatic kids
Kids with asthma who have sleep disordered breathing (SDB) at night may exhibit behavior problems, a new study has found.
Diabetes Risk May Be Increased By Insufficient Sleep

Biomarker Of Breathing Control Abnormality Associated With Hypertension And Stroke
A study in the July 1 issue of the journal SLEEP identified a distinct ECG-derived spectrographic phenotype, designated as narrow-band elevated low frequency coupling (e-LFCNB), that is associated with prevalent hypertension, stroke, greater severity of sleep disordered breathing and sleep fragmentation in patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Results indicate that the odds ratio for prevalent stroke was 1.65 [CI: 1.
Sleep Duration Associated With Variations In Levels Of Inflammatory Markers In Women
A study in the July 1 issue of the journal SLEEP demonstrates that levels of inflammatory markers varied significantly with self-reported sleep duration in women but not men. The study found that both interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels varied with sleep duration in women following multiple adjustments for a number of confounding factors.

Doctors judge patients by their looks, studies show
Several studies have found that doctors treat patients differently depending on their race and body weight.
