Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) occurs when an infant under 1 year of age dies suddenly and unexpectedly, and the cause of death is not immediately obvious before investigation. Risk factors include sleeping in the prone position, maternal smoking during pregnancy, soft bedding, and mild infections. The triple-risk model proposes that SIDS occurs when intrinsic vulnerabilities, such as prematurity or male sex, interact with extrinsic stressors, like prone sleeping, during a critical developmental period. Current evidence suggests SIDS involves asphyxia of a vulnerable infant with defective cardiorespiratory or arousal systems.
New Medical Research Shows Prebiotics Can Improve Sleep QualityDr. Lisa Marie Cannon
Prebiotics from foods like bananas and oatmeal can improve sleep quality by reducing stress-induced insomnia, according to a new medical study. The study found that prebiotics are fiber that feed beneficial gut bacteria, which produce byproducts affecting the brain and its response to stress. While more research is still needed, the findings suggest maintaining healthy gut bacteria through prebiotics may prevent insomnia related to stress.

The document discusses Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), which is defined as the sudden unexplained death of an infant under 1 year of age. It is usually caused while sleeping and its exact cause is unknown. Risk factors include young maternal age, smoking during pregnancy, sleeping in the prone position, prematurity, and male sex. A leading hypothesis is that SIDS infants have a delayed development of the brainstem regions responsible for arousal and cardiorespiratory control. A thorough autopsy is required to confirm SIDS and rule out other potential causes of death.

The document provides background information on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. It describes how villagers in Salem, Massachusetts were accusing each other of witchcraft due to a widespread hysteria. Students are put in the role of a Puritan accused of witchcraft awaiting trial. They must decide whether to plead guilty or not guilty, and write a letter explaining their reasoning and any evidence against them. The document provides multiple links to resources about life in Salem during this time period and biographies of those accused to help students make their decision.
The document summarizes the procedures and events of the Salem Witch Trials. It describes the process of accusing and trying suspected witches, which involved complaints made to magistrates, examinations, grand jury indictments, and trials by jury. If convicted, witches were sentenced to death by hanging. Various "witch tests" were used as evidence. By late 1692, accusations targeted prominent townspeople, causing doubts about the trials. In total, 19 were hanged, 4 died in prison, and many more were imprisoned in a period that came to be seen as an injustice.

The document summarizes the Salem Witch Trials that took place in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. It describes how accusations of witchcraft led to trials that were unfair, with no proof required to convict. Over 185 people were accused of witchcraft, with 31 being convicted and 19 put to death, mostly women. The trials ended after the summer of 1692, with those accused eventually being pardoned.
The Salem Witch Trials began in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts when two young girls, Abigail Williams and Elizabeth Parris, began having fits and convulsions after being entertained by stories from Barbados by Tituba, the Parris family slave. Their strange behavior led the community to accuse Tituba, Sarah Good, and Sarah Osborne of witchcraft. When brought to trial, Tituba confessed and accused others of witchcraft, sparking hysteria in Salem. By the end of the trials in 1692, 150 people had been imprisoned and 24 had been killed as a result of being convicted as witches.

Abstract
Sleep disorders have several impacts on overall health. With the increase in sleep disorders over the last few years, there is a need to identify some of the most common causes of sleep disorders and if factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and social status may be considered as risk factors. Different studies have been done to determine the impacts of sleep disorders on an individual’s overall health. The central focus of this research is to review some of these studies, and come up with a conclusion that tends to bring out these health impacts that are associated with sleep disorders, particularly, sleep deprivation.
Introduction
Sleep is considered as a biological process and it has regularly been essential for good life and optimal health (Wells & Vaughn, 2012). Sleep has been essential in controlling brain functioning, and even in other biological and systematic processes such as metabolism, regulation of appetite, and improving one’s immunity against a number of diseases, especially in children. Normally, a good sleep is associated by the duration of the sleep, the quality, and regularity among other factors. Although a number of studies, and even media, have covered the health benefits of sleep, more than 70 million individuals in the US are still suffering from sleep-related disorders, and moreover, in Europe, approximately 45 million people are also victims of these disorders. For instance, a study conferred that of all the car accidents that occur in the US, 20% are as a result of lack of enough sleep, or other disorders associated wit either too much sleep or lack of enough sleep (Palma et al., 2013).
There are a number of consequences that may arise as a result of sleep loss and other sleep-related disorders. As conveyed by Ming et al. (2011), the most common consequences that may be related to sleep include judgment errors, which may lead to disastrous events. On the other pedestal, some of the less visible consequences of sleep disorder include increased mortality and morbidity rate, car accidents and injuries, QoL, the well-being of the family, and utilization of healthcare services among the affected persons. Some of these consequences may arise a few minutes after having less hours of sleep, or too much sleep. However, there are some long-term impacts of sleep, for instance, obesity and hypertension. Sleeping for a longer duration enhances the body’s inactivity and this is greatly associated with obesity, which may also give chance to the development of hypertension and other cardiovascular complications. According to Ming et al. (2011), there are approximately 90-100 sleep disorders which may result from factors such as environmental factors, psychosocial issues, and ot ...

This document discusses the rising rates of premature birth worldwide and the associated neurodevelopmental disabilities. While medical advances have improved survival rates for extremely premature infants, rates of long-term disabilities remain high. Brain injuries are the most common neurological consequence and can include cerebral palsy and cognitive impairments. Researchers are working to better understand brain development and identify biomarkers to predict injuries, as well as develop more targeted neuroprotective treatments beyond the only currently effective therapy of therapeutic hypothermia. Precision treatments are needed to protect the developing brain from common stresses in premature infants like hypoxia and infection.

Erratic Sleep May Make Teens Hungrier
1. Erratic Sleep May Make Teens Hungrier
THURSDAY, March 5, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Night-to-night changes in the amount of sleep teens
get may affect how much they eat, a new study suggests.
The research included 342 teens, average age 17, who slept an average of 7 hours a night. But after
nights when they slept an hour less or more than normal, the teens ate an average of 201 more
calories, 6 grams more fat and 32 grams more carbohydrates a day.
Also, they were much more likely to have nighttime snacks on school nights and weekends,
according to the study. It's scheduled for presentation Thursday at an American Heart Association
meeting in Dallas.
"According to the data from our study, it's not how long you sleep that matters. It's about day-to-day
variations in how long you sleep," study author Fan He, an epidemiologist at Penn State University
College of Medicine, said in a heart association news release.
One possible explanation for the findings is that getting less sleep may make teens more likely to be
couch potatoes the next day, sitting in front of the TV and snacking. It's also possible that the sleep
variations trigger hormone imbalances that cause teens to eat more, the researchers suggested.
2. Previous research has shown that teens who don't get enough sleep are at increased risk for obesity.
"It may be more important to have a regular sleep pattern than to sleep longer one day and shorter
on another. These findings could help us better understand how obesity develops among young
people," He said.
Teens require nine to 10 hours of sleep per night, the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
says.
Data and conclusions presented at meetings are usually considered preliminary until published in a
peer-reviewed medical journal.
