Walking with continuous positive airway pressure: Fig. 1— [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2006
A ventilator-dependent child had been in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) ever since birth. As a result, she had fallen behind considerably in her development.After 18 months, continuous positive airway pressure was successfully administeredviaa tracheostomy tube with a novel lightweight device.

The comparison of two different mandibular positions for oral appliance therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1567-1574, December 2022., 2022

While a large mandibular advancement with an OA decreases the number of apnea and hypopnea events, long‐term use may cause side effects, such as toothache, stiffness, and pain in the temporomandibular joint.
