Health-related behavioral changes may occur following traumatic brain injury. We focused on understanding the impact of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) on health-related behaviors and identifying factors associated with such changes. We utilized health check-up records from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database spanning January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2017.

Purpose: In this 10-year follow-up study, we evaluated the long-term postoperative results of single-layer modified Kugel (MK) herniorrhaphy without an onlay mesh.
Methods: Patients who underwent anterior modified Kugel herniorrhaphy without an onlay mesh between May 1, 2009, and June 31, 2012, were included in this study. The criterion for onlay mesh omission was that the posterior inguinal hernia defect did not exceed the memory recoil ring of the MK mesh.

Associations Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, Dry Eye Disease, and CPAP Usage Among Taiwanese Patients: A Retrospective Analysis.
Nat Sci Sleep
July 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore the link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and dry eye disease (DED), and how Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment affects DED.
- A total of 172 patients were analyzed—86 with DED and 86 without—and significant differences in OSA severity and oxygen saturation levels were found between the two groups.
- The findings suggest that higher OSA severity is linked to an increased risk of DED, particularly in patients using CPAP, which significantly raises the likelihood of developing DED.
