The influence of pregnancy upon acute cardiovascular responses to slow and deep breathing.
Slow and deep breathing (SDB) is a promising intervention that has provided reductions in blood pressure (BP) in primary hypertension when practised daily and has potential as an intervention to treat women who develop hypertension during pregnancy. Before SDB can be introduced in a clinical …

Obstructive sleep apnea and snoring in Icelandic children : the five-to-fifteen questionnaire and school performance
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), from reported snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), has been associated with emotional and behavioral problems in children, as well as academic decrements. This study examined reported snoring as well as objectively measured snoring and OSA in 112 children in …

Sleep Disordered Breathing and Pregnancy: Prevalence and Outcomes at Delivery
<p>Introduction<br /> Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) during pregnancy is associated with maternal and neonatal morbidity, and in-hospital mortality. A recent prevalence study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample reported an obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) prevalence of 7.3 per 10,000 in 2013, a …

CARDIAC AUTONOMIC CONTROL DURING SLEEP IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY: A PILOT STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF CPAP THERAPY
… with and without sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) and to assess the acute autonomic effects of CPAP therapy during the second night in patients with SDB. Methods We retrospectively analyzed v‐PSG recordings from MSA patients who underwent evaluation over two consecutive nights at the Pitié …

The natural history of sleep disordered breathing in 6-11 year old Caucasian and Hispanic children
Sleep disordered-breathing (SDB) including obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is increasingly recognized as an important cause of morbidity in children. Clinical symptoms of OSAS in children include snoring, nocturnal arousals, restlessness during sleep, enuresis, daytime sleepiness and …

The Effect of Tidal Interactions On Hot Subdwarf B Stars and Their Pulsations
Hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars are evolved core He-burning stars. The sdBs are formed by binary interactions on the red giant branch (RGB) which cause the stars to lose most of their H envelopes. Over half of all observed hot subdwarf B stars are found in binaries, many of which are found in close …

The effects of autonomous work environment and positive psychological capital on self-directed employee behavior: evidence from Korea
… capital (PsyCap), and self-directed behavior (SDB) in large Korean automotive parts manufacturing companies. 331 surveys from 43 teams in six organizations were gathered and analyzed by using simple OLS regression, Sobel test, and SEM analysis. Results indicated that the effects of autonomous …

Nearshore Bathymetry from Fusion of ICESat-2 and Multispectral Satellite Imagery
… bathymetry, called satellite derived bathymetry (SDB), although the accuracy of SDB is limited by the expense of collecting in situ samples to constrain accuracy. In September 2018, the ICESat-2/ATLAS lidar satellite platform was launched into orbit and the 532 nm (green) laser has been shown to …

Statistical analysis of networks with community structure and bootstrap methods for big data
… method called subsampled double bootstrap (SDB) for both independent and stationary data. SDB works by choosing small random subsets of the massive data, and then constructing a single resample from that subset using bootstrap (for independent data) or moving block bootstrap (for stationary …

Targeted and untargeted metabolomic profiling of human serum, urine and brain by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
… perturbations resulting from diabetes and from SDB. This study concluded that the changes in sugar alcohol levels which were quantified in physiological fluids confirm the metabolic similarity between mental illness and diabetes. This leads to the question regarding whether or not antidiabetic …

Time-Domain Astrophysics with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
… on the discovery of a long-period subdwarf B (sdB) star using 20 s cadence TESS data and proposes a novel formation mechanism for long-period sdB stars that relies upon stable, nonconservative mass transfer. Chapters 4 and 5 focus on pulsating stars in close binaries, and the evolutionary …

A versatile programming model for dynamic task scheduling on cluster computers
… and data structures. SIs use Super-Data Blocks (SDBs) as their operands. Each SI is assigned to a single member computer and is indivisible (i.e., its implementation is not interrupted for I/O). SIs have predictable execution times because SDB sizes are limited by predefined thresholds. These …

Unstable Ventilatory Control During Sleep After High Spinal Cord Injury: The Contribution Of Chemosensitivity And Hypoventilation
… high prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) after spinal cord injury (SCI) has been reported in the literature; however, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. My studies had 2 aims: 1) to determine the effect of the withdrawal of the wakefulness drive to breathe on the …

A survey of cataclysmic variables from the Edinburgh-Cape Blue object survey
… are hot subdwarfs which comprise the sdO, sdB, and sdOB stars. The white dwarfs account for about 17% of the total. About 18% of the objects are horizontal branch B and normal B stars. Cataclysmic variable stars and quasars comprise only a small fraction, 2 and 6 percent, respectively. Less …

Insuline resistance and insuline sensibility in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
… most common type of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep. These episodes are associated with recurrent oxyhemoglobin desaturations and arousals from sleep. Despite being a common disease, OSAS is underrecognized by most …
