Article Synopsis
- Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is the standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but many patients struggle to consistently use it; understanding their blood oxygen levels may help improve adherence.
- This study investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of a program (mPAP) that integrates data from consumer wearable devices with PAP usage reports to enhance patient self-management of therapy.
- The trial will involve 50 veterans with OSA who will be split into intervention and control groups to assess how well wearable device feedback influences their PAP usage over a 28-day period.

- * A case study of a 16-month-old girl initially diagnosed with Sweet syndrome revealed that she actually had leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I (LAD-I), which is a genetic immune disorder.
- * This discovery marks the first documented connection between Sweet syndrome and LAD-I, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluations for patients with Sweet syndrome who do not respond to standard treatments.
Background: The BRAVO pH monitor system can benefit patients with ongoing GERD symptoms despite treatment and/or atypical symptoms. We aim to investigate the number and type of complications associated with the BRAVO pH capsule.
Methods: From April 2016 through February 2021, we analyzed post-marketing surveillance data from the FDA Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database.
COVID-19 Mask Mandates in NY and Their Effect on the Incidence of Flu.
J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect
January 2023
Objective: The goal of the study is to quantify the reduction in the cases of influenza and how this decrease in incidence correlates with the execution of masking requirements in public as well as social distancing.
Methods: Influenza statistics were collected from Northwell Health, a 23-hospital system located throughout New York State. Positive influenza results were collected representing the 2018-2019 Flu season, 2019-2020 Flu season, and compared to the 2020-2021 Flu season, which corresponded to the mask mandates and social distancing measures implemented in NYS.
