Download or read book 24 Hour Heart Rate Variability Analysis HRV in Childhood written by Reiner Buchhorn and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based upon the hypothesis that prognosis in childhood heart failure depends on autonomic dysfunction, the author introduced a new heart failure model and a medical therapy with beta-blockers in 1996. The author used the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) in 24 hours Holter ECG's for the understanding of the pathophysiology of childhood heart failure and for objective control of medical therapy. The success of this clinical model was the inspiration of a new approach to mental disease in childhood. In the last decades, an increase of new paediatric problems requiring medical care like eating disorders, behavioural and attention problems has been observed. All these diseases are related to autonomic dysfunction and have a high impact on cardiovascular prognosis. Based upon the hypothesis that behavioural problems are accompanied by changes in the autonomic nervous system, the author performed analysis of HRV in 24 hours Holter ECG's in these patient groups: healthy children with respect to school affiliation; a historical control group from literature published in 1997; attention deficit disorder with and without hyperactivity; anorexia nervosa and obesity. This data was compared to children with an increased cardiovascular risk due to congenital heart disease. In order to analyse the effect of autonomic function on human growth, we measured HRV in children with growth failure. A new HRV Score was established for the comparison of autonomic function in different age groups. The author could demonstrate a decrease of vagal activity in healthy children in children of today and speculate that insufficient vagal maturation may be a reason for an increasing prevalence of mental and cardiovascular disease. Looking for the reason of this vagal shift, caloric over nutrition, omega-3-fatty acid deficiency, high intensity of information and communication technology usage and some environmental toxins reduce HRV in childhood.

Download or read book Juvenile Onset Huntington s Disease written by Peggy C. Nopoulos and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Special Issue “Juvenile Onset Huntington’s Disease” highlights the growing interest in understanding the unique aspects of this ultra-rare disorder. After decades of research, gene therapy trials are underway for Adult Onset Huntington’s Disease (AOHD). However, patients with Juvenile Onset Huntington’s Disease (JOHD) are often excluded from these efforts, leaving many questions regarding its phenomenology. The current issue includes seven articles spanning work on the difficult emotional experiences of parents of children with JOHD; a review of the clinical manifestations of JOHD; behavioral issues in JOHD; CAG repeat and age of motor onset; autonomic nervous system dysfunction; and abnormality in MRI metabolic markers. Finally, a review of the therapeutic advances is included, highlighting future possibilities of clinical trials in JOHD subjects. The HD community—patients, family members at-risk for HD, caregivers, health-care professionals and scientists—is keen on expanding our understanding of JOHD. In the flurry of research on AOHD, those with JOHD were seemingly ‘left behind.’ The study of patients who are afflicted early in life with HD has become imperative, with this Special Issue representing just the beginning of the required effort to address this urgent need.
Download or read book Heart Rate Variability Analysis with the R package RHRV written by Constantino Antonio García Martínez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-10-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to the fundamental concepts of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and its most important analysis algorithms using a hands-on approach based on the open-source RHRV software. HRV refers to the variation over time of the intervals between consecutive heartbeats. Despite its apparent simplicity, HRV is one of the most important markers of autonomic nervous system activity and it has been recognized as a useful predictor of several pathologies. The book discusses all the basic HRV topics, including the physiological contributions to HRV, clinical applications, HRV data acquisition, HRV data manipulation and HRV analysis using time-domain, frequency-domain, time-frequency, nonlinear and fractal techniques. Detailed examples based on real data sets are provided throughout the book to illustrate the algorithms and discuss the physiological implications of the results. Offering a comprehensive guide to analyzing beat information with RHRV, the book is intended for masters and Ph.D. students in various disciplines such as biomedical engineering, human and veterinary medicine, biology, and pharmacy, as well as researchers conducting heart rate variability analyses on both human and animal data. The second edition of the book has been updated to RHRV version 5.0. This version introduces a functionality to perform heart rate variability analysis on entire populations. This functionality automates and streamlines both the calculation of HRV indices in the time, frequency, and nonlinear domains, as well as the subsequent statistical analysis.

Download or read book Treatment of Functional Seizures in Children and Adolescents written by Blanche Savage and published by Australian Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-12-24 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this treatment manual for functional seizures in children, adolescents, and young adults — ‘young people’ — we present the program developed by the mind-body team at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, a tertiary care paediatric hospital located in New South Wales, Australia. The team’s Mind-Body Program, organised as part of a consultation-liaison psychiatry service within the Department of Psychological Medicine, works with young people, up to the age of 18 years, who present with functional somatic symptoms, including functional seizures. This manual describes the treatment interventions we have developed over the last 20 years through clinical trial and error, by translating research findings into our clinical practice, and by evaluating our own treatment interventions through prospective cohort studies.

Download or read book Functional Somatic Symptoms in Children and Adolescents written by Kasia Kozlowska and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book sets out the stress-system model for functional somatic symptoms in children and adolescents. The book begins by exploring the initial encounter between the paediatrician, child, and family, moves through the assessment process, including the formulation and the treatment contract, and then describes the various forms of treatment that are designed to settle the child’s dysregulated stress system. This approach both provides a new understanding of how such symptoms emerge – typically, through a history of recurrent or chronic stress, either physical or psychological – and points the way to effective assessment, management, and treatment that put the child (and family) back on the road to health and well-being.
