Cycling behavior and memory formation.

12 Oct 2009 Circadian research has spent considerable effort in the determining clock output pathways, including identifying both physiological and behavioral processes that demonstrate significant time-of-day variation. Memory formation and consolidation ... Read more...

Risks of complications by attending physicians after performing nighttime procedures.

12 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Few data exist on the relationships between experienced physicians' work hours and sleep, and patient safety. OBJECTIVE: To determine if sleep opportunities for attending surgeons and obstetricians/gynecologists are associated with the risk ... Read more...

[Sleep disorders in the elderly]

6 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Sleep disorders are common in the elderly, and may lead to substantially impaired quality of life. Many of these disorders are not diagnosed or treated. This article covers treatment options and characteristics of common sleep disorders ... Read more...
