On December 15, Tang Xiaoou, the world's top scientist in the field of artificial intelligence and the founder of SenseTime, passed away due to ineffective medical treatment. According to media reports, SenseTime insiders revealed that Tang Xiaoou unfortunately passed away in his sleep at the age of 55.
Tang Xiaoou is an influential scientist in the field of computer vision, whose research covers multimedia, computer vision, pattern recognition and video processing, and is widely recognized as an outstanding representative in the field of artificial intelligence. Many people deeply regret his passing.
Vigilant! These diseases tend to "flare up at night."
It is often said that "a small illness and a small pain in the body can be solved by sleeping", and "there is no problem that cannot be solved by sleeping", all of which emphasize the health benefits of good sleep. However, in some cases, the sleep period may also be the "devil's time", and many diseases like to "attack" at night, which catches people off guard.
1. Sleep apnea syndrome
It is a serious disease that manifests itself as frequent intermittent pauses in breathing. This condition does not equate to healthy sleep and can even lead to sudden death.
Apnea during sleep can lead to severe hypoxia of the brain and blood, which can lead to serious consequences such as hypoxemia, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction. If the apnea lasts for more than 2 minutes at night, the patient may even die.
2. Cardiovascular disease
According to the study of "Analysis and Prevention of Night Emergencies in Heart Disease Patients", acute myocardial infarction, various types of arrhythmias, heart failure and other cardiac diseases have a probability of causing sudden cardiac death. Clinical practice data have found that sudden death events are more likely to occur between 0:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
3. Cerebrovascular disease
Cerebrovascular disease is also one of the important causes of sudden death. Relevant data point out that about 10% of cerebral infarction cases occur in the sleep, which makes it more difficult to determine the time of cerebral infarction, and it is easy to miss the best time for treatment.
4 symptoms at night, or cancer warning
In addition to the above-mentioned diseases, experimental studies have found that cancer cells are also more active at night.
In the journal Nature, researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Basel jointly conducted a study of 30 hospitalized patients with advanced breast cancer, 21 of whom had early-stage breast cancer and 9 of whom had advanced breast cancer with metastases.
Blood samples were collected and analyzed at 4:00 am and 10:00 am on the same day, and the results showed that 78.3% of circulating tumor cells appeared in the blood samples collected at 4:00 am. In this regard, researchers believe that the time when people enter the state of sleep is the time when cancer cells are "active".
Therefore, when you find that you have the following symptoms in your sleep, you must find out the cause in time, and be vigilant is an early warning of cancer disease!
1. Frequent cramps
There are many causes of night cramps, both physiological and pathological. In general, occasional sleep cramps are normal and do not cause damage to the body. However, if sleep cramps persist and no cause is found, cancer cells should be suspected.
Due to the abnormal metabolism of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other substances in the body, cancer patients can easily affect the normal contraction of muscles, which in turn leads to frequent cramps.
2. Unknown pain, exacerbated at night
Unexplained pain in an area of the body that cannot be relieved after adequate rest or that worsens significantly at night should be taken seriously. This may be pain caused by bone metastases of cancer cells.
3. Frequent night sweats
Night sweats can be triggered by many tumor-related diseases, the most common of which is lymphoma. The most significant symptoms of lymphoma are night sweats, low-grade fever and abnormal weight loss, which must be taken seriously when combined.
4. Dry cough that can't be stopped
If you continue to have a dry cough during night sleep, it may be associated with ground-glass nodules in the lungs and lung cancer, so you must pay enough attention to it at this time.
In general, no matter what kind of symptoms the body is experiencing, it should not be taken lightly, and it is necessary to seek medical attention to find out the cause.
