Are higher serum sclerostin levels and insufficiency of vitamin D strongly associated with vertebral fractures in hemodialysis patients : a case control study?
Our data shows high prevalence of vertebral fractures in hemodialysis patients and that it is associated with elevated sclerostin levels, reflecting bone fragility in these patients.
We conclude that sleep homeostasis is achieved through behavioral regulation, that the NREM behavioral homeostat is susceptible to attenuation during CSR and that the concept of sleep intensity is not essential in a model of sleep-wake regulation.
