Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Barry Dicicco"
- Barry Dicicco's research primarily focuses on the intersection of sleep disorders, cognitive decline, and cancer staging methodologies, with significant contributions to understanding how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) impacts cognitive health in older adults.
- His 2019 study highlights that adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment may slow cognitive decline in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and sleep apnea, suggesting the need for further research on treatment efficacy.
- In addition to sleep research, Dicicco has explored the use of advanced imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) and positron-emission tomography (PET) in mediastinal staging of non-small cell lung cancer, indicating a comprehensive approach to both sleep-related and oncological health issues.
