TL;DR: This first validation of a fatigue scale in a large sample size demonstrates that the FSS is a simple and reliable instrument to assess and quantify fatigue for clinical and research purposes.

TL;DR: The simplicity, reliability and the apparent lack of relevant influences of language and cultural background on performance of the ESS makes it a valuable tool for clinical management and research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether dexamethasone or tadalafil reduced the incidence of high altitude pulmonary edema and acute mountain sickness (AMS) in adults with a history of HAPE.

TL;DR: CPAP withdrawal usually leads to a rapid recurrence of OSA, a return of subjective sleepiness, and is associated with impaired endothelial function, increased urinary catecholamines, blood pressure, and heart rate, and the proposed study model appears to be suitable to evaluate physiological and therapeutic effects in OSA.

TL;DR: These statements report the results of an European Respiratory Society Task Force addressing actual diagnostic and therapeutic standards based on a systematic review of the literature and a systematic two-step decision process.
