Macro- and microvascular reactivity during repetitive exposure to shortened sleep: sex differences. Epidemiological studies have reported strong association between sleep loss and hypertension with unknown mechanisms. This study investigated macrovascular and microcirculation changes and inflammatory markers during repetitive sleep restriction. Sex differences were also explored. Forty-five

Effects of a 3-week dehydroepiandrosterone administration on sleep, sex steroids and multiple 24-h hormonal profiles in postmenopausal women: a pilot study. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) administration is widely evocated as a 'fountain of youth', but previous studies have provided inconsistent results. We aimed to investigate in healthy postmenopausal women the effects of a 3-week oral DHEA

are more likely between youth with similar levels of pubertal development, physical activity, and sleep. Sex-stratified models suggest that girls' friendships are more likely given a similar age at menarche. Attention to similar pubertal timing within friendship groups may offer inclusive opportunities for tailored developmental puberty education in ways that reduce stigma and improve health behaviors.

representative sample of U.S. youth (N = 10,544, mean [SE] baseline age = 9.9 [0.03] years, 48.9% female, 45.4% non-White). Participants reported daily minutes of screen time (streaming, gaming, socializing), physical activity, and sleep. Sex-stratified models estimated the association between baseline behaviors and follow-up BMI z-score, controlling for demographic characteristics, internalizing symptoms

every other day for a total of 8 sessions. Patients of the control group did not receive any intervention. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess low back pain severity. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was employed to assess ten aspects of patients' daily-life activities (pain intensity, personal care, lif-ting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and traveling

or somewhere else, without coming to until the morning.Somnambulistic sexual behaviourIt is also known as sexsomnia, or sleep sex. It is considered a variation of sleepwalking. Sexual behaviours of all types may occur during sleepwalking. It is a true automatic behaviour as opposed to motor activity during a dream. Variations can range from sexual vocalisations to violent masturbation. Complex sexual acts

increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity after TSD. The sympathoexcitation observed in postmenopausal women suggests a potential contributing mechanism for epidemiological observations and advances our understanding of the complex relations between sleep, sex, and hypertension.

The Co-Occurrence of Sexsomnia, Sleep Bruxism and Other Sleep Disorders Sleep sex also known as sexsomnia or somnambulistic sexual behavior is proposed to be classified as NREM (non-rapid eye movement) parasomnia (as a clinical subtype of disorders of arousal from NREM sleep-primarily confusional arousals or less commonly sleepwalking), but it has also been described in relation to REM (rapid

activation. The strict dependency observed between KCs and cardiac control indicates a potential role of KCs in modulating the cardiovascular system during sleep. Sex differences in the KC-cardiac response indicate the sensitivity of this measure in capturing sex differences in cardiac regulatory physiology.

of ten sections: pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing sleeping, sex life, social life and travelling. Index scores range from 0% to 100%, with higher scores relating to more disability and lower scores relating to less disability.Pain Medication Diary: Participants will be asked to record the number and doses of medications they are taking to alleviate their pain. The type

. Subject will be asked on 10 different categories of activities of daily living. They are: pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and traveling. * Patients Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) will be asked to assess the subject's impression of their painful condition, since the implanting of the spinal cord stimulator. * Concomitant by the painful condition since last visit of the study (visit 1), which covers 3 weeks of duration after the last research visit. Subject will be asked on 10 different categories of activities of daily living. They are: pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and traveling. * PGI-C will be asked to assess the subject's impression of their painful

disability index (ODI, in Chinese) at 5th and 8th week after first intervention [ Time Frame: pre-enrollment, 5th and 8th week after first intervention ]There are six statements to be ranked on a scale of 0 to 5 in each of the 10 sections of the questionnaire. The contents relate to impairments such as pain intensity and abilities in personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life

. Change in Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OLDPDQ) score [ Time Frame: Change from baseline OLDPDQ score at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks ]The OLDPDQ score is considered the 'gold standard' of low back functional outcome tools. The questionnaire is composed of ten sections (addressing pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life

that are scored ranging from 0 (minimum degree of difficulty in that activity) to 5 (maximum degree of difficulty). These questions assess the activities of daily living in patients with LBP, including pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life and travelling. If more than one statement is marked in each section, the highest score should be taken
