A Comparative Study between Postextubation of Preterm Neonates into High-Flow Nasal Cannula versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Neonatology, 2021 Background: For respiratory support in premature newborns, there has been a trend toward less trachealintubation, less mechanical ventilation, and more nasal respiratory support which can result in the improvement ofsuccessful extubation rate.

Long-term prediction of adherence to continuous positive air pressure therapy for the treatment of moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, poor adherence is a limiting factor, and a significant proportion of patients are unable to tolerate CPAP.

Multidisciplinary Alternatives to CPAP Program for CPAP-Intolerant Patients [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 2017 Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) intolerance remains a persistent problem for many obstructive sleep apnea patients. Clinicians and researchers continue to search for other effective treatment modalities given the well-documented sequelae associated with untreated obstructive sleep apnea.

The Bidirectional Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Metabolic Disease [PDF]
, 2018 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder, effecting 17% of the total population and 40–70% of the obese population (1, 2). Multiple studies have identified OSA as a critical risk factor for the development of obesity, diabetes, and ...

Cerebral vasoreactivity in response to a headof-bed position change is altered in patients with moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]
, 2018 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can impair cerebral vasoreactivity and is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease. Unfortunately, an easy-to-use, non-invasive, portable monitor of cerebral vasoreactivity does not exist. Therefore, we

Locally covariant quantum field theory with external sources [PDF]
, 2014 We provide a detailed analysis of the classical and quantized theory of a multiplet of inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon fields, which couple to the spacetime metric and also to an external source term; thus the solutions form an affine space.
