Abstract Developments in long-term space exploration necessitate advancements in countermeasures against microgravity-induced skeletal muscle loss.Astronaut data shows considerable variation in muscle loss in response to microgravity.Previous experiments suggest that genetic background influences the skeletal muscle response to unloading, but no in
Once diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a titration with either continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) is planned to know the pressure required to abolish the airflow limitation during sleep.Majority of OSA patients are treated with such positive pressure therapy (PAP) devices, but it is n
