According to the Mehr news agency, citing the Vice President for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, sleep and the problems caused by not having a quality sleep, in addition to the brain, also involve other vital organs of the body. Researchers are always looking to solve these problems, and the National Science Foundation of Iran supports research projects in this regard.
Alireza Imani, Professor of Tehran University of Medical Sciences and PhD in Medical Physiology from Tehran University of Medical Sciences, in explaining his plan, said: Despite significant progress in recent years, cardiovascular diseases are still one of the main causes of death in the world. . Heart failure is one of the most important causes of death related to heart diseases and its prevalence is increasing with the aging of the population. Today, extensive medical treatments try to reduce the death rate caused by cardiovascular events, but despite this, congestive heart failure, which usually develops after a heart attack; As a main and major problem in the medical and social fields.
He added: Heart failure is known as a complex clinical syndrome that is the result of functional and structural changes in the heart and disrupts the ability to effectively pump blood from the patient’s heart to other tissues to meet their metabolic needs, and signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, It includes cough, fluid accumulation in the lungs and other tissues, premature fatigue, physical limitation, and cardiac arrhythmias.
This researcher further stated: In this study, based on the available evidence, we decided to investigate the effect of experiencing acute insomnia before myocardial infarction on the inhibition or release of oxytocin from the neurons of the paraventricular nucleus, and in this regard, the relationship between the level of oxytocin and the change in system function. To evaluate the sympathetic effect of acute insomnia.
He added: One of the reasons that made us focus on the role of acute insomnia in the present plan was that many members of the medical community work 24-hour shifts at least once a week and experience acute sleep deprivation during these shifts. This acute insomnia causes activation of the sympathetic system.
In the end, Imani pointed out: Despite the concerns about the harmful effects of insomnia, we have shown in our previous studies that acute insomnia does not necessarily have harmful effects, and perhaps these results can be applied to clinical conditions such as those experienced by many members of the medical community. they do, generalize and somehow it is possible to reduce the concern of these people in this regard.
