Introduction: Sleepiness may predispose drivers to road traffic accidents. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome is the most common medical cause of sleepiness. Hence increased neck circumference (NC) and obesity are known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome risk factors. This study was conducted to assess OSAS role in occurrence of road traffic accidents in sleeping drivers of commercial heavy veh...

Background and Purpose: Quadriceps weakness and disruption of proprioceptive function are common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and consequently the surgery. Postoperative self-reported outcomes are affected by the preoperative defect. The purpose of this review study was to examine whether preoperative exercises can affect self-reported outcomes. Methods: The study started sear...

sleeping through different mechanism causes the removal of fatigue and regaining power to start daily activities. sleep with high quality plays an essential role in body and mental health. the previous studies indicated that problems derived from sleeping can lead to the emergence of many physical and mental disorders, including lack of appetite, physical and mental tiredness, lack of concentra...

Background: While outcomes of primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) are generally favorable, resultsafter revision procedures are less reliable. This study examines the functional outcomes, complications, and implantsurvival in patients who underwent revision of aTSA to aTSA.Methods: Patients who underwent revision aTSA were identified from 2008-2015. Demographic, clinical, surgic...

situation awareness is an important factor in the incidence of industrial accidents. improving situation awareness may help to prevent occupational accidents. determination of factors influencing the situation awareness will help to plan and implement the measures for improving working conditions and making a safer workplace. in this study, was examined the role of work overload and sleepiness ...

objective: an important factor in the prevention of industrial accidents is the employees’ ability to maintain their awareness of the work situation, understand the information it holds, and predict the development of the situations. in this study, we examined the role of work stress and sleepiness in predicting work situation awareness among workers.  methods: the present study was a cross-sec...

BACKGROUND Mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder in adults; however, whether mild OSA has significant neurocognitive and cardiovascular complications is uncertain. OBJECTIVES The specific goals of this Research Statement are to appraise the evidence regarding whether long-term adverse neurocognitive and cardiovascular outcomes are attributable to mild OSA in adults...

It has been speculated that humans have an inherent ability to overcome sleepiness that counteracts homeostatic sleep pressure. However, it remains unclear which cortical substrate activities are involved in the ability to overcome sleepiness during the execution of cognitive tasks. Here we sought to confirm that this ability to overcome sleepiness in task execution improves performance on cogn...

background: chronic daily headache (cdh) has gained little attention in functional neuro-imaging. when no structural abnormality is found in cdh, defining functional correlates between activated brain regions during headache bouts may provide unique insights towards understanding the pathophysiology of this type of headache. methods: we recruited four cdh cases for comprehensive assessments, in...
