Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation02:19

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

4.2K
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

992
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

  • Chronobiology
  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Machine Learning in Health

Background:

  • Wearable devices are crucial for studying daily activity patterns in clinical research.
  • Analyzing data from wearable devices for activity patterns presents significant challenges for researchers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel method for characterizing sleep-activity rhythms using actigraphy.
  • To describe early childhood daily rhythm formation.
  • To examine the association between daily rhythms and physical development in infants.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a machine learning-based Penalized Multiband Learning (PML) algorithm utilizing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for periodicity inference.
  • Applied the PML algorithm to Actiwatch data from 262 infants aged 6-24 months.
  • Compared PML with autocorrelation and Fisher test; analyzed associations with Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-Second Edition (PDMS-2) using linear regression.

Main Results:

  • Penalized Multiband Learning (PML) identified dominant periodicities (1-day, one-third-day, half-day) in infant activity rhythms, evolving with age.
  • Significant associations were found between motor development (PDMS-2) and specific periodicities at 12 months.
  • Motor subcategories like locomotion and gross motor skills correlated with one-third-day periodicity.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed PML algorithm effectively analyzes circadian rhythms from wearable device time-series data.
  • This method accurately characterizes sleep-wake rhythm development in early childhood.
  • Established a link between daily rhythm formation and motor development during infancy.
