Even though sleep is widely considered to be a restor-ative and refreshing process, it is
characterized by complex activity of the cardiovascular autonomic mechanisms and by …

There is growing evidence that cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) and arousals are woven into
the basic mechanisms of sleep regulation. In the present study, the overnight sleep cycles …

OBJECTIVE: To assess inter-rater reliability between different scorers, from different
qualified sleep research groups, in scoring visually the Cyclic Alternating Pattern (CAP), to …

Background—Sleep has significant effects on cardiovascular neural regulation. The aim of
this study is to explore the possible change in sympathetic vasomotor activity and baroreflex …

The possibility of using heart rate variability (HRV) as an indicator of sleepiness was
investigated by analysing heart rate (HR) activity and electroencephalography (EEG) …

OBJECTIVE: To analyze in detail the frequency content of the different EEG components of
the Cyclic Alternating Pattern (CAP), taking into account the ongoing EEG background and …

Recent studies suggest that exposure to repetitive episodes of hypoxia and transient arousal
can lead to increased risk for cardiovascular disease in patients with obstructive sleep …

La stabilità della funzione è stato il concetto di riferimento da C. Bernard ad oggi, sia per la
biologia che per la medicina clinica. Solo di recente, pero', due fisici illustri, Gregoire Nicolis …
