Article Synopsis
- Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is crucial for managing chronic breathing issues in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but upper airway obstructions can impact treatment success.
- A study analyzed DMD patients using overnight polygraphy during NIV to identify a new pattern of expiratory obstructive events that hinder breathing.
- Out of 11 patients, 36% experienced these obstructions, which prevent normal inhalation until expiration occurs, suggesting the need for routine checks in patients using NIV.

Purpose This study tested the hypotheses that both patients receiving cochlear implants (CIs) and their significant others (SOs) would demonstrate improvements in perceived hearing handicap over time following cochlear implantation and that the SOs would demonstrate delayed patterns of perceived improvement compared to the patients who directly experienced the changes in hearing function provided by the CI. Method A study sample of 19 pairs of postlingually deafened adult candidates with CIs and their SOs answered questions about the patients' hearing handicap. Patient- and SO-reported scores were obtained preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months after CI activation.
