Oral appliances such as mandibular advancement devices (MADs) form a core treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). These devices treat OSA by increasing the size of the upper airway and are recommended for patients with OSA who do not tolerate continuous positive airway pressure or prefer another treatment option (1). To effectively treat OSA, MADs must be tailored to the individual. Beyond customization to the patientβs oropharyngeal anatomy, the degree of mandibular protrusion must also be tailored

Mashup Score: 1Everything Everywhere All at Once? Identifying Exposures and Outcomes that Matter to Families within and beyond the Intensive Care Unit - 6 day(s) ago
As care for critically ill patient s has advanced, so too has our recognition of the multidimensional and persistent morbidities that affect patients and their families following an intensive care unit (ICU) stay (1). Survivors of critical illness experience impairments across multiple domains of healthβphysical, cognitive, emotional, social, and financialβthat can persist months to years after hospital discharge (2 β 4). Family members frequently serve as surrogate decision-makers for their loved ones

Mashup Score: 0
The importance of exercise intolerance has long been recognized by clinician s. It has been clearly articulated by patients and repeatedly quantified in studies describing the impact of chronic lung disease, with breathlessness being a key limiting symptom (1). The exclusive use of a lung function parameter as an endpoint in clinical trials may be limited (2). There is not a strong relationship between exercise capacity or symptom burden and measures of lung function (3). Arguably, the impact of a

The STOP (Standardized Treatment of Pulmonary Exacerbations) clinical studies were first described in 2017 (1 β 4). Initially designed as an observational study, they have evolved into a series of interventional studies designed to develop the best evidence base to inform pulmonary exacerbation (PEx) management, with the ultimate goal of using these data to ensure the best possible outcomes for affected persons with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) (2). STOP2, in particular, was a randomized trial primarily
