Effect of Noise on Sleep and Autonomic Activity in Children according to Source.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Noise has been a major issue in children due to its effect on emotional symptoms and sleep problems. The present study investigated the effect of noise on sleep and autonomic activity in children according to three variables, namely, road traffic noise, aircraft noise, and noise sensitivity (NS).

Methods

The study is epidemiological in nature. A total of 474 subjects of four elementary schools were evaluated in conjunction with the 2014 noise map data gathered from two metropolitan regions, Seoul and Ulsan, in South Korea. Each subject completed the children's sleep habits questionnaire, and heart rate variability (HRV) was recorded. Analysis of covariance was performed using monthly income as a covariate.

Results

Aircraft noise was associated with night waking (P = 0.047), whereas no significant association was observed between sleep and road traffic noise. After stratifying by NS, no significant results were obtained for road traffic noise. However, high levels of aircraft noise in the high-NS group were associated with high degrees of bedtime resistance (P = 0.049). In terms of HRV, no significant difference was observed in the results between groups.

Conclusion

Road traffic noise did not significantly alter sleep or autonomic activity in children, whereas aircraft noise exerted a negative effect on sleep. The findings suggest that the impact of noise on sleep in children varies depending on noise sources.

Autonomic Nerve Activity Features According to Dry Eye Type.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the association between autonomic nerve activity and symptom intensity according to the type of dry eye (DE).MethodsThis prospective, cross-sectional, comparative study included 25 eyes of 25 patients with short tear break-up time DE (sBUTDE; mean age = 57.4 ± 11.4 years, range = 30-74 years) and 24 eyes of 24 patients with aqueous tear-deficient DE (ADDE; mean age = 62.3 ± 10.7 years, range = 29-76 years) were studied. Autonomic nerve activity was examined, and the Japanese version of the Ocular Surface Disease Index (J-OSDI) and a stress check questionnaire were administered. Autonomic nerve activity was continuously measured for 10 minutes. The parameters were low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) components of heart rate variability, reflecting cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve activity, and parasympathetic nerve activity alone, respectively; and the coefficient of variation of R wave-to-R wave (RR) interval (cvRR), component coefficient of variation of LF (ccvLF), and component coefficient of variation of HF (ccvHF), reflecting fluctuation of RR interval, LF, and HF, respectively.ResultsHigher J-OSDI scores were associated with higher HF, ccvHF, and subjective stress in sBUTDE, showing a significant correlation (r = 0.53, P < 0.01; r = 0.55, P = 0.01; and r = -0.66, P = 0.01); no correlations were observed between the J-OSDI score and autonomic parameters and stress in ADDE.ConclusionsDE symptoms were significantly associated with the magnitude and fluctuation of parasympathetic activity in sBUTDE. Thus, among the autonomic parameters, parasympathetic activity is involved in the development of symptoms in sBUTDE, whereas the involvement of the autonomic nervous system may be minimal in ADDE.

Snoring: a source of noise pollution and sleep apnea predictor.

Project description:Snoring is a highly prevalent condition associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep disturbance in bed partners. Objective measurements of snoring in the community, however, are limited. The present study was designed to measure sound levels produced by self-reported habitual snorers in a single night. Snorers were excluded if they reported nocturnal gasping or had severe obesity (BMI > 35 kg/m2). Sound was measured by a monitor mounted 65 cm over the head of the bed on an overnight sleep study. Snoring was defined as sound ≥40 dB(A) during flow limited inspirations. The apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and breath-by-breath peak decibel levels were measured. Snore breaths were tallied to determine the frequency and intensity of snoring. Regression models were used to determine the relationship between objective measures of snoring and OSA (AHI ≥ 5 events/h). The area under the curve (AUC) for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to predict OSA. Snoring intensity exceeded 45 dB(A) in 66% of the 162 participants studied, with 14% surpassing the 53 dB(A) threshold for noise pollution. Snoring intensity and frequency were independent predictors of OSA. AUCs for snoring intensity and frequency were 77% and 81%, respectively, and increased to 87% and 89%, respectively, with the addition of age and sex as predictors. Snoring represents a source of noise pollution in the bedroom and constitutes an important target for mitigating sound and its adverse effects on bed partners. Precise breath-by-breath identification and quantification of snoring also offers a way to risk stratify otherwise healthy snorers for OSA.

Estimation of the source-by-source effect of autorepression on genetic noise.

Project description:Transcriptional autorepression has been thought to be one of the simplest control circuits to attenuate fluctuations in gene expression. Here, we explored the effect of autorepression on fluctuations from different noise sources. We theoretically represent the fluctuations in the copy number of proteins as the sum of several terms, each of which is related to a specific noise source and expressed as the product of the source-specific fluctuations under no autorepression (path gain) and the effect of autorepression on them (loop gain). Inspection of each term demonstrates the source-independent noise-attenuating effect of autorepression as well as its source-dependent efficiency. Our experiments using a synthetic autorepression module revealed that autorepression attenuates fluctuations of various noise compositions. These findings indicate that the noise-attenuating effect of autorepression is robust against variation in noise compositions. We also experimentally estimated the loop gain for mRNA noise, demonstrating that loop gains are measurable parameters. Decomposition of fluctuations followed by experimental estimation of path and loop gains would help us to understand the noise-related feature of design principles underlying loop-containing biological networks.

Altered slow-wave sleep activity in children with rapid-onset obesity with hypothalamic dysregulation, hypoventilation, and autonomic dysregulation syndrome.

Project description:Study objectivesRapid-onset obesity with hypothalamic dysregulation, hypoventilation, and autonomic dysregulation (ROHHAD) is a rare condition. Little is known about sleep/wake and slow-wave activity in this condition, although the central hypothalamic dysfunction associated with autonomic dysregulation would make the occurrence of SWA deregulation most likely.MethodsTwo children with clinical presentation of ROHHAD syndrome were evaluated, diagnosed, and treated. Their polysomnographic studies were compared with 4 matched children with obstructive sleep apnea and 6 controls.ResultsChildren that were clinically diagnosed with ROHHAD exhibited significantly weaker slow-wave activity power and shallower slow-wave activity slopes during the first 2 sleep cycles compared with children with obstructive sleep apnea or controls.ConclusionsThis study shows that children with ROHHAD have suppressed slow-wave activity, possibly because of hypothalamic dysregulation that may contribute to their rapid-onset obesity and excessive daytime sleepiness.

Effect of mild hyperglycemia on autonomic function in obstructive sleep apnea.

Project description:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been hypothesized to cause a hypersympathetic state, which may be the mechanism for the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease in OSA. However, there is a high prevalence of hyperglycemia in OSA patients, which may also contribute to autonomic dysfunction.Thirty-five patients with OSA and 11 controls with average body mass index (BMI) of 32.0 ± 4.6 underwent polysomnography, glucose tolerance testing, autonomic function tests, lying and standing catecholamines, overnight urine collection, and baseline ECG and continuous blood pressure measurements for spectral analysis. A linear regression model adjusting for age and BMI was used to analyze spectral data, other outcome measures were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test.Twenty-three OSA patients and two control patients had hyperglycemia (based on 2001 American Diabetes Association criteria). Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) correlated with total power and low frequency (LF) power (r = 0.138, 0.177, p = 0.031; and r = 0.013) but not with the LF/high frequency (HF) ratio (p = 0.589). Glucose negatively correlated with LF systolic power (r = -0.171, p = 0.038) but not AHI (p = 0.586) and was marginally associated with pnn50, total power, LF, and HF power (p ranged from 0.07 to 0.08).These data suggest that patients with OSA and mild hyperglycemia have a trend towards lower heart rate variability and sympathetic tone. Hyperglycemia is an important confounder and should be evaluated in studies of OSA and autonomic function.

Sleep Phases in Crayfish: Relationship Between Brain Electrical Activity and Autonomic Variables.

Project description:In vertebrates like mammals and birds, two types of sleep have been identified: rapid eye movement and non-rapid eye movement sleep. Each one is associated with specific electroencephalogram patterns and is accompanied by variations in cardiac and respiratory frequencies. Sleep has been demonstrated only in a handful of invertebrates, and evidence for different sleep stages remains elusive. Previous results show that crayfish sleeps while lying on one side on the surface of the water, but it is not known if this animal has sleep phases. Heart rate and respiratory frequency are modified by diverse changes in the crayfish environment during wakefulness, and previously, we showed that variations in these variables are present during sleep despite that there are no autonomic anatomical structures described in this animal. Here, we conducted experiments to search for sleep phases in crayfish and the relationships between sleep and cardiorespiratory activity. We used the wavelet transform, grouping analysis with k-means clustering, and principal component analysis, to analyze brain and cardiorespiratory electrical activity. Our results show that (a) crayfish can sleep lying on one side or when it is motionless and (b) the depth of sleep (measured as the power of electroencephalographic activity) changes over time and is accompanied by oscillations in cardiorespiratory signal amplitude and power. Finally, we propose that in crayfish there are at least three phases of sleep.

Comparing the cardiac autonomic activity profile of daytime naps and nighttime sleep.

Project description:Heart rate variability (HRV) is a reliable technique to evaluate autonomic activity and shows marked changes across a night of sleep. Previous nighttime sleep findings report changes in HRV during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM), which have been associated with cardiovascular health benefits. Daytime sleep, however, has been linked with both positive and negative cardiovascular outcomes. Yet, no studies have directly compared HRV profiles during an ecologically-valid daytime nap in healthy, well-rested adults to that of nighttime sleep. Using a within-subjects design, 32 people took a daytime nap and slept overnight in the lab at least one week apart; both sleep sessions had polysomnography, including electrocardiography (ECG), recorded. We measured inter-beat intervals (RR), total power (TP), low frequency power (LF; .04-.15 Hz), and high frequency power (HF; .15-.40 Hz) components of HRV during NREM and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Compared to the nap, we found longer RR intervals and decreased heart rate during the night for both Stage 2 and SWS and increased TP, LF and HF power during nighttime Stage 2 sleep only; however, no differences in the LFHF ratio or normalized HF power were found between the nap and the night. Also, no differences in REM sleep between the nap and night were detected. Similar relationships emerged when comparing the nap to one cycle of nighttime sleep. These findings suggest that longer daytime naps, with both SWS and REM, may provide similar cardiovascular benefits as nocturnal sleep. In light of the on-going debate surrounding the health benefits and/or risks associated with napping, these results suggest that longer daytime naps in young, healthy adults may support cardiac down-regulation similar to nighttime sleep. In addition, napping paradigms may serve as tools to explore sleep-related changes in autonomic activity in both healthy and at-risk populations.

Cortical source localization of sleep-stage specific oscillatory activity.

Project description:The oscillatory features of non-REM sleep states have been a subject of intense research over many decades. However, a systematic spatial characterization of the spectral features of cortical activity in each sleep state is not available yet. Here, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings during night sleep. We performed source reconstruction based on the individual subject's anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and spectral analysis on each non-REM sleep epoch in eight standard frequency bands, spanning the complete spectrum, and computed cortical source reconstructions of the spectral contrasts between each sleep state in comparison to the resting wakefulness. Despite not distinguishing periods of high and low activity within each sleep stage, our results provide new information about relative overall spectral changes in the non-REM sleep stages.

RBDtector: an open-source software to detect REM sleep without atonia according to visual scoring criteria.

Project description:REM sleep without atonia (RSWA) is a key feature for the diagnosis of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). We introduce RBDtector, a novel open-source software to score RSWA according to established SINBAR visual scoring criteria. We assessed muscle activity of the mentalis, flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), and anterior tibialis (AT) muscles. RSWA was scored manually as tonic, phasic, and any activity by human scorers as well as using RBDtector in 20 subjects. Subsequently, 174 subjects (72 without RBD and 102 with RBD) were analysed with RBDtector to show the algorithm's applicability. We additionally compared RBDtector estimates to a previously published dataset. RBDtector showed robust conformity with human scorings. The highest congruency was achieved for phasic and any activity of the FDS. Combining mentalis any and FDS any, RBDtector identified RBD subjects with 100% specificity and 96% sensitivity applying a cut-off of 20.6%. Comparable performance was obtained without manual artefact removal. RBD subjects also showed muscle bouts of higher amplitude and longer duration. RBDtector provides estimates of tonic, phasic, and any activity comparable to human scorings. RBDtector, which is freely available, can help identify RBD subjects and provides reliable RSWA metrics.

Effect of mandibular advancement splint therapy on cardiac autonomic function in obstructive sleep apnoea.

Project description:PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of mandibular advancement splint (MAS) therapy on cardiac autonomic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis.MethodsElectrocardiograms (ECG) derived from polysomnograms (PSG) of three prospective studies were used to study HRV of patients with OSA before and after MAS treatment. HRV parameters were averaged across the entire ECG signal during N2 sleep using 2-min epochs shifted by 30 s. Paired t-tests were used to compare PSG and HRV measures before and after treatment, and the percent change in HRV measures was regressed on the percent change in apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI).ResultsIn 101 patients with OSA, 72% were Caucasian, 54% men, the mean age was 56 ± 11 years, BMI 29.8 ± 5.3 kg/m2, and treatment duration was 4.0 ± 3.2 months. After MAS therapy, there was a significant reduction in OSA severity (AHI, - 18 ± 16 events per hour, p < 0.001) and trends towards increased low-frequency to high-frequency ratio, low-frequency power, and reduced high-frequency power (LF:HF, - 0.4 ± 1.5, p = 0.01; LF, - 3 ± 16 nu, p = 0.02, HF, 3.5 ± 13.7 nu, p = 0.01). Change in NN intervals correlated with the change in AHI (β(SE) = - 2.21 (0.01), t = - 2.85, p = 0.005). No significant changes were observed in the time-domain HRV markers with MAS treatment.ConclusionThe study findings suggest that successful MAS treatment correlates with changes in HRV, specifically the lengthening of NN intervals, a marker for improved cardiac autonomic adaptability.
