    Notes: Abstract Paroxetine is a selective and potent serotonin reuptake inhibitor and its efficacy for the treatment of depression has been proven. Under acute and subchronical treatment regimens, disturbances of the regular sleep pattern are a reported side effect of the drug. The present study was therefore performed to investigate the impact of subchronic treatment with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor paroxetine on the microstructure of the sleep EEG. The study especially addressed the question of subchronic effects of paroxetine medication (30 mg/day) in eight healthy male volunteers in a double blind, placebo-controlled crossover design. Conventional sleep EEG parameters and a spectral power analysis for different sleep stages after 4 weeks of treatment were computed. Additionally, the correlation of certain EEG rhythms across the night was calculated in order to detect subtle dynamical EEG alterations, not necessarily obvious when regarding conventional EEG analysis. Although we could not detect any alterations of the spectral power values in certain frequency bands either during NREM nor during REM sleep following subchronic paroxetine medication, the dynamical EEG attributes across the night revealed a significant enhancement of the correlation between certain EEG rhythms mainly during NREM sleep.

    Notes: To investigate the influence of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of cellular phone GSM signals on human sleep electroencephalographic (EEG) pattern, all-night polysomnographies of 24 healthy male subjects were recorded, both with and without exposure to a circular polarized EMF (900 MHz, pulsed with a frequency of 217 Hz, pulse width 577 μs, power flux density 0.2 W/m2. Suppression of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep as well as a sleep-inducing effect under field exposure did not reach statistical significance, so that previous results indicating alterations of these sleep parameters could not be replicated. Spectral power analysis also did not reveal any alterations of the EEG rhythms during EMF exposure. The failure to confirm our previous results might be due to dose-dependent effects of the EMF on the human sleep profile. Bioelectromagnetics 19:199-202, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
