Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Continuous positive airway pressure increases CSF flow and glymphatic transport
Respiration can positively influence cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in the brain, yet its effects on central nervous system (CNS) fluid homeostasis, including waste clearance function via glymphatic and meningeal lymphatic systems, remain unclear.

Is surgery effective for reducing symptoms in adults with obstructive sleep apnea? [PDF]
Current evidence is insufficient to recommend surgery for symptom relief for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. More convincing evidence exists supporting the use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or dental appliances for reducing ...

Clinically Important Endpoints in Individuals With Leukodystrophy: A Multisite Study
ABSTRACT Importance Leukodystrophies are a diverse group of rare disorders that disrupt central myelination. These disorders present with a broad spectrum of neurological severity and are associated with a range of potential secondary complications, such as scoliosis and failure of independent feeding.

Continuous positive airway pressure ameliorated severe pulmonary hypertension associated with obstructive sleep apnea. [PDF]
A 52-year-old obese woman was admitted to our institution for evaluation of dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Polysomnography revealed severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with an apnea hypopnea index of 99.8.

Early conscious prone positioning in patients with COVID-19 receiving continuous positive airway pressure: A retrospective analysis [PDF]
The global pandemic of COVID-19 has challenged the management of hypoxaemic respiratory failure and strained intensive care unit resources. While prone positioning (PP) is an established therapy in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory ...

Abstract Background Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.
