The spike could be related to poor health care procedures, or a higher vigilance for testing, or even a natural seasonal cycle of the virus, but it raises important questions that demand answers.
VIGALL originally was intended for classification of EEG-vigilance stages during rest and hence it is possible that stages with high theta power during the cognitive performance test within this study were misinterpreted as low subvigil stages B2/3 although they might reflect a higher vigilance stage.
We postulated that a low prestimulus EEG-vigilance state (B-stages) leads to longer RTs and that a high vigilance state (A-stages) entails shorter RTs.
All together, these observations justify a high vigilance towards infectious manifestations if temperature modulation measures, namely therapeutic hypothermia and controlled normothermia, are used in critical care patients.
However, cricoid pressure should ideally be maintained until after delivery, following which it may be cautiously released; a high vigilance for regurgitation should be maintained throughout surgery.
2. A high vigilance towards the child's state and the evaluation of the threat in order to decide what to do is an important finding in this study and a specific element of the activated care giving system.
With its increasing prevalence in health care settings, especially in intensive care environments due to its propensity to form biofilms, it is of utmost importance for physicians to have a high vigilance for this opportunistic pathogen.
These findings underline importance of maintaining focus on preventive measures to reduce injecting drug use, sharing of contaminated needles and unprotected sex, but also that clinicians should maintain a high vigilance to identify patients with new HCV infection early and provide counseling to minimize the risk of onwards transmission and consider the need for HCV treatment.
But, he added, except for higher vigilance and a moderation of discussion "tone," the site was not ready to institute new rules of behavior.
Vigilance has a significant impact on the accuracy of reproducing rhythms (t(17) = −2.733, p < 0.05) as subjects reproduced rhythms more precisely after higher vigilance stage A (MW = 0.046, SD = 0.049) than after lower vigilance stage B (MW = 0.065, SD = 0.067).
According to Aftanas and Golocheikine [ 26] the event-related power (event-related band power, EBP) associated with its induced component (induced band power, IBP) is usually related to an increase in neuronal excitation, such as that observed during the increase in cognitive activity, reflecting an externalized attention which appears in higher vigilance and anticipation states.
