Article Abstract
Background: Poor sleep is associated with longer recovery following adolescent concussion, making the longitudinal assessment of sleep important for monitoring recovery and identifying sleep disruptions. An important consideration for successful monitoring of sleep following concussion is the feasibility and adherence of a given sleep monitoring tool when used in an at-home environment. Understanding the usability of different sleep monitoring tools is essential for determining their applicability for longitudinal assessment in an ecologically valid environment.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to: (1) report on the adherence and feasibility of at-home sleep monitoring in adolescents following concussion, and (2) compare outcomes of subjective and wearable measures of sleep between adolescents with and without a concussion.
Patients And Methods: Participants included adolescents within 21 days of a concussion and uninjured controls that participated in four separate, prospective and longitudinal investigations of sleep following concussion. Sleep data was measured with: (1) Dreem Headband; (2) Philips Actiwatch; (3) Fitbit; and (4) subjective sleep diary. Sleep data was collected nightly, and adherence was defined as percentage of nights the participant used the sleep-monitoring tool over the study duration. Independent -tests and effect sizes were calculated for the following sleep data outcomes as measured by each of the monitoring tools: duration, efficiency, latency, wake after sleep onset.
Results: Sleep data for a total of 183 adolescents (104 with concussion, 79 uninjured controls) was assessed. Adherence rates across all devices ranged from 53% to 98%, with the subjective sleep diary showing the highest adherence rate for both groups (concussion: 91%, control: 94%). Across the four different monitoring tools, adolescents with a concussion demonstrated longer duration, latency, wake after sleep onset, and lower (worse) efficiency, with medium to large effect sizes.
Conclusion: The results indicate that at-home sleep monitoring is a feasible approach for tracking sleep in adolescents following concussion.

Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy for Central Sleep Apnea in Patients with Heart Failure: A Multi-site, Double-blind, Sham-controlled Randomized Clinical Trial (LOFT-HF).

Rationale: There are insufficient data to inform the management of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT) has been postulated to benefit CSA patients with HFrEF, but has not been rigorously studied.

Mean airway pressure, a monitored variable continuously available on the modern ventilator, is the pressure measured at the airway opening averaged over the time needed to complete the entire respiratory cycle. Mean airway pressure is well recognized to connect three key physiologic processes in mechanical ventilation: physical stretch, cardiovascular dynamics, and pulmonary gas exchange. Although other parameters currently employed in adults to determine "safe" ventilation are undoubtedly valuable for daily practice, all have limitations for continuous monitoring of ventilation hazard.

Clin Kidney J
September 2025
Hypertension is a pervasive and progressive complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, affecting up to 90% of those in advanced stages or on dialysis. A particularly insidious aspect of this condition is nocturnal hypertension, characterized by high blood pressure (BP) during sleep and a blunted or absent nighttime BP dipping-phenomena associated with accelerated CKD progression and increased cardiovascular risk. Despite its strong prognostic significance, nocturnal hypertension remains underdiagnosed due to limited use of ambulatory BP monitoring.

Background: Limited data are available regarding the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), particularly Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SDB and CSR, as well as the factors associated with these conditions, in patients with AF without LV systolic dysfunction.
Methods: Patients with paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal AF underwent echocardiography and cardiorespiratory polygraphy.

Objective: To explore the exercise capacity in obese patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) through cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients with simple obesity (36 cases) and obese patients with severe OSAS (45 cases) admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine and the Department of General Practice of the Affiliated Wuxi People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2019 to January 2024 were collected. Additionally, we included 33 patients (BMI<28 kg/m,AHI<5/hour) as a control group.
