TL;DR: The findings suggest that health-care workers providing NIV and chest physiotherapy, working within 1 m of an infected patient should have a higher level of respiratory protection, but that infection control measures designed to limit aerosol spread may have less relevance for these procedures.

TL;DR: It is shown that non‐REM sleep attenuates reflex genioglossus muscle activation by stimuli of negative airway pressure, which may have implications for the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnoea.

TL;DR: Results show that expiratory narrowing produced a significant reduction of CSA at end-expiration prior to obstructive apnea.

TL;DR: Using data from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study, the hypothesis that sleep fragmentation is associated with elevated awake blood pressure was tested and the SFI was significantly associated with higher levels of awake systolic blood pressure in people with an AHI < 1.

TL;DR: The reduction in Vmax during hypopnea in subjects with IFL during eupneic control, suggests that reduced drive is associated with increased upper airway compliance in these subjects, andupper airway susceptibility to narrowing/closure is an important determinant of the response to inducedhypopnea during NREM sleep.
