Nutrition and Lifestyle Sleep ===== If you attached an electroencephalograph to a person's head, you can record the person's brainwave activity.

During sleep, two slower patterns called theta waves and delta waves take over. Theta waves have oscillations in the range of 3.5 to 7 cycles per second, and delta waves

insight into the relapse mechanisms, we analyzed single nucleotide polymorphism arrays for DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs) in 18 matched diagnosis and relapse leukemias. CNAs were more abundant at relapse than at diagnosis (mean 12.5 vs 7.5 per case; P .01) with 5.3 shared on average. Their patterns revealed a direct clonal relationship with exclusively new ab- errations at relapse in only 21.4%, whereas 78.6% shared a common ancestor and subsequently acquired distinct CNA.
