Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are common conditions that may be linked through sympathetic activation and water retention. We hypothesized that diuretics, which reduce the body water content, may be more effective than amlodipine, a blood pressure (BP)-lowering agent implicated with edema, in controlling OSA in patients with hypertension. We also aimed to compare the effects of these treatments on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM).

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of prostaglandin F2α (PGF) in speeding up ovulation in weaned sows through two separate experiments.
- In the first experiment, PGF did not show any significant effect on the timing of ovulation or the number of sows that ovulated.
- In the second experiment, the hormone buserelin was more effective than PGF in reducing the time to ovulation, but neither treatment impacted the total number of piglets born.
