Despite the high estimated prevalence of dysphagia in OSA, there is a paucity of evidence supporting behavioral interventions for treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on validated, standardized metrics of swallow and airway clearance capacity functions in moderate-to-severe OSA. 10 participants with OSA (mean age = 65.

- Brain metastases in prostate cancer can significantly reduce patient survival, with a median overall survival of 15 months identified in a study of 461 patients.
- Factors influencing survival include race (Hispanic patients had a median OS of 17 months), tumor size (larger tumors correlated with reduced survival), and presence of additional metastases, particularly to the liver, which led to a median OS of just 3.5 months.
- Treatment with chemotherapy or radiation showed better outcomes, with median OS increasing to 19 months and 25 months respectively, indicating the necessity of personalized treatment approaches tailored to individual patient circumstances.
Background Newborns frequently experience respiratory distress (RD), necessitating preventive management during transportation. The use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is crucial in mitigating RD in neonates, particularly during transit. This study aims to assess the feasibility and efficacy of utilizing a RAM cannula (Neotech Products, Valencia, USA) with a T-piece resuscitator to deliver CPAP during neonatal transport.
