UARS and brain damage?
I recently came across a reference to a newer study on sleep apnea as a cause of brain damage. I have a diagnosis of UARS, which I understand to be on a continuum with OAS and treated the same as OAS (however, the nature of the nervous system in the two diagnoses seem to be very different). Does anyone know if there is a correlation between UARS and brain damage?

Hi Saralynn-
Where did you see the reference? I can take a look at the study and give you more if an idea of what the study is saying. As well as being a respiratory therapist working at a sleep clinic, I am also a scientist finishing her PhD. I can try and help you to figure out the correlation.

I have used the S9 for a few weeks now and have the software to monitor the effect of changing masks and settings. the FX pillows are very comfortable but the amount of leakage at times in the night has tripled my AI. I have gone back to the Swift 1…
Thanks Cindy. I am copying the text of the bill below so that everyone can take a look at what we're talking about. It does in fact look like a bill setting standards for the practice of polysomnographic technology in New York. I guess coming at thi…

You're my kind of person, Judy. I like how you get the job done.
