...none had had a stroke when the study began - and their daytime drowsiness was assessed using a standard sleepiness scale. Of the group, 44% were never-dozers, 47% were sometimes-dozers and 9% were always-dozers. During the follow-up period, the group had 40 strokes and 127 other vascular events, such as heart attack. The data showed not only an increase in stroke risk with excessive daytime sleepiness, but also an increased risk of heart attack and vascular death: compared with well-rested people, moderately sleepy people had a 1.6 times higher risk; for severely sleepy people, the risk...
...sleepiness scale] is that we're not really able to differentiate what type of sleep disturbances these people were having." While the scale indicates that people are sleepy during the day and therefore not resting well at night, it doesn't say why. In terms of stroke and other vascular risks, says Boden-Albala, "The question really is, Is it sleep apnea or is it the physiological consequence of not getting enough sleep...
...sleep apnea, which is known to cause severe blood-pressure variations. But, according to Boden-Albala, a growing body of research, including her own past work, suggests that sleep deprivation is linked to a variety of conditions, such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension, that may also contribute to vascular risk. "There's more to it than just sleep apnea but we need to figure out why," says Boden-Albala...
...have is complete creative freedom.’ And that’s something he held to with everyone in his sphere. He was just pure passion, pure curiosity. He loved to share and loved to teach.” Ingber is the Judah Folkman professor of vascular biology in the Department of Pathology at HMS.

...name to colleagues and patients and only the grandest descriptors come to their lips - words like "giant in his field," "visionary," "genius," and "ahead of his time." Credited with revolutionizing cancer treatment with the theory that preventing angiogenesis, or new blood-vessel growth, would starve tumors, the director of vascular biology at Children's Hospital and professor of pediatric surgery at Harvard Medical School died on Monday in Denver...
