Preliminary Assessment of Zopiclone (Imovane(Trademark)) use in Camp Mirage Aircrew

Michel A Paul Gary Gray James C. Miller

Abstract : Introduction. Based on previous work done at DRDC Toronto, the Aerospace and Undersea Medical Board drafted aeromedical policy to allow short term (maximum 5 days consecutive) flight surgeon supervised use of certain sleeping medications in aircrew during operations that are known to impact on aircrew sleep. Because of alternating day, off-circadian operations, there was a recent locally initiated change in the use of zopiclone in Camp Mirage aircrew to alternate day use throughout the 56-day rotations. DRDC Toronto was asked to evaluate this off-nominal use of zopiclone in CF aircrew. Methods. FASTTM (Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool) a performance modeling program was used to predict the impact of zopiclone and to compare an alternative duty schedule (3 days of work followed by three days off) against the current schedule (cycles one 1 day of work and 1 day off) across three mission take-off times (0300 hrs, 0700 hrs, and alternating 0700 hrs & 0300 hrs). Crew duty data and sleep behaviours (reported to the attending Flight Surgeon) were used as inputs to FASTTM in order to generate 12 cognitive effectiveness models. Results. The models predict that the current schedule provides better sustained performance than a 3 days on/3 days off schedule, especially for the 0300 hrs take-off missions. The current use of zopiclone to support early circadian pre-mission sleep predicts a 4% to 6% increase in average mission cognitive effectiveness relative to no use of zopiclone. Discussion. These performance models were based on reported sleep behaviours as distinct from actgraphically measured sleep. This modelling effort, although worthwhile in the short term, should be repeated based on actigraph data in order to provide objective sleep behaviour for recalculating the performance models.

Efficacy of postoperative seizure prophylaxis in intra-axial brain tumor resections

Journal of Neuro-Oncology (2014)

Shaheryar F. Ansari Bradley N. Bohnstedt Susan M. Perkins Sandra K. Althouse James C. Miller

The effectiveness of seizure prophylaxis in controlling postoperative seizures following craniotomy for tumor resection is unclear. Most patients are seizure-free before surgery. To prevent seizures, it is common to treat tumor craniotomy patients postoperatively with an antiepileptic drug (AED). The authors retrospectively analyzed seizure occurrence with and without postoperative prophylactic AEDs. Between 2005 and 2011 at the authors’ institution, 588 patients underwent craniotomy for brain tumors and were screened. Data on seizures, AED use, histopathology, comorbidities, complications, and follow-up were collected. Exclusion criteria included lack of follow-up data, previous operation, preoperative seizures, or preoperative AED prophylaxis. The incidence of postoperative seizures in patients with and without prophylactic AEDs was compared using logistic regression analysis. A total of 202 patients (50.5 % female) were included. The most common tumor diagnosis was metastasis (42.6 %). Of the 202 patients, 66.3 % were prescribed prophylactic AED after surgery. Forty-six of 202 (22.8 %) suffered a postoperative seizure. The odds of seizure for patients on prophylactic AED was 1.62 times higher than those not on AED (p = 0.2867). No difference was found in seizure occurrence between patients with glioblastoma multiforme compared with other tumor types (odds ratio 1.75, p = 0.1468). No difference was found in time-to-seizure between the two groups (hazard ratio 1.38, p = 0.3776). These data show no statistically significant benefit to prophylactic postoperative AED and a nonsignificant trend for increased seizure risk with AEDs. A randomized, placebo-controlled trial is needed to clarify the benefit of postoperative AED use for brain tumor resection.

Crop Supply Response under Risk: Impacts of Emerging Issues on Southeastern U.S. Agriculture

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics (2011)

Yan Liang James C. Miller Ardian Harri Keith H. Coble

In this paper we consider factors that affect both crop prices and yields in order to examine supply responses of major crops in the Southeast. Due to the variable nature of crop production in the Southeast, previous studies that ignore price and yield risk may fail to capture one of the salient features of the region's agriculture. Our results indicate supply elasticity values for corn, cotton, and soybeans of approximately 0.670, 0.506, and 0.195, respectively. Compared with the results of studies in other regions, corn and cotton acres respond more to price changes and soybean acres respond less to price changes.

Development of a Basic Flight Instruction Tutoring System (BFITS) Research Station

James C. Miller Michael T. Kirk John S. Flynn Morgan P. Hurt Jeffrey C. Schlueter

Abstract : The Basic Flight Instruction Tutoring System (BFITS) was designed to observe and track the behavior of students as they attempt to learn basic flight procedures. Several modifications were required to adapt the BFITS to the needs of researchers at the United States Air Force Academy. These modifications were accomplished by a team of five cadets enrolled in Behavioral Sciences 473, Human Factors Engineering, and their instructor. A limited test and evaluation assured that the BFITS research station worked as desired. The BFITS is a rich resource for investigations of fundamental learning processes associated with novice pilot learning. It may be used extensively as a tool to support faculty and cadet investigations of those processes.

Sleep electroencephalogram delta-frequency amplitude, night plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha, and human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (1995)

Denis F. Darko James C. Miller C. Gallen Joleen T. White J.A. Koziol

We tested the hypothesis that increases in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) induced by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are associated with the increases in slow-wave sleep seen in early HIV infection and the decrease with sleep fragmentation seen in advanced HIV infection. Nocturnal sleep disturbances and associated fatigue contribute to the disability of HIV infection. TNF-alpha causes fatigue in clinical use and promotes slow-wave sleep in animal models. With slow progress toward a vaccine and weak effects from current therapies, efforts are directed toward extending productive life of HIV-infected individuals and shortening the duration of disability in terminal illness. We describe previously unrecognized nocturnal cyclic variations in plasma levels of TNF-alpha in all subjects. In 6 of 10 subjects (1 control subject, 3 HIV-seropositive patients with CD4+ cell number > 400 cells per microliters, and 2 HIV-positive patients with CD4+ cell number < 400 cells per microliters), these fluctuations in TNF-alpha were coupled to the known rhythm of electroencephalogram delta amplitude (square root of power) during sleep. This coupling was not present in 3 HIV-positive subjects with CD4+ cell number < 400 cells per microliters and 1 control subject. In 5 HIV subjects with abnormally low CD4+ cell counts ( < 400 cells per microliters), the number of days since seroconversion correlated significantly with low correlation between TNF-alpha and delta amplitude. We conclude that a previously unrecognized normal, physiological coupling exists between TNF-alpha and delta amplitude during sleep and that the lessened likelihood of this coupling in progressive HIV infection may be important in understanding fatigue-related symptoms and disabilities.

Analyzing Producer Preferences for Counter-Cyclical Government Payments

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics (2003)

James C. Miller Barry J. Barnett Keith H. Coble

A dynamic-stochastic model is developed to evaluate preferences among alternative countercyclical payment programs for representative farms producing corn or soybeans in Iowa and cotton or soybeans in Mississippi. Countercyclical payment programs are found to not necessarily be preferred to fixed payment programs.
