Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on day/night rhythm of prothrombotic markers in obstructive sleep apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with an increased risk of atherothrombotic events. A prothrombotic state might partially explain this link. This study investigated OSA patients' day/night rhythm of several prothrombotic markers and their potential changes with therapeutic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Is 7-day event triggered ECG recording equivalent to 7-day Holter ECG recording for atrial fibrillation screening?

Prolonged ECG monitoring is standard for atrial fibrillation (AF) screening. This study investigated whether 7-day event triggered (tECG) ECG recording is equivalent to 7-day continuous Holter (cECG) ECG recording for AF screening.

A Study of Alumni Engagement and Its Relationship to Giving Behaviors

This paper examines the relationship between alumni engagement and two categories of variables, alumni characteristics and alumni giving behavior. The Valley University engagement score was developed using the entire alumni population and information available from the institutional database. The study found that, with the exception ofgeneration, there was no difference in engagement scores based on alumni characteristics. The study also found that the engagement score has a positive correlation to a variety of giving behaviors, including donor status, recent donor status,annual giving behavior (RFM), and adjusted lifetime giving.
