Treatment could lower crash risk for truckers with sleep apnea.
By Carolyn Crist (Reuters Health) – Commercial truck drivers who get treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for two years may reduce their crash risk to the level of drivers without apnea, a study from Italy suggests. For professional drivers, the screening, treatment and management of sleep disorders should be mandatory to reduce accident risk and improve road safety, the study authors write in the journal Sleep Medicine. “Screening for OSA in heavy vehicle drivers should be a major public safety priority,” senior author Luigi Ferini-Strambi, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Universita Vita-Salute San Raffaele in Milan, told …

When I was pregnant with my child, he quickly acquired the name, Piglet – and for obvious reasons. Piglet made mummy eat lots. Piglet made mummy very fat. Good fat though. Healthy pregnancy blossoming mama fat. But I digress. When Piglet emerged from the womb, his name quickly and naturally shifted to The Pig. The Pig is hungry. The Pig is crying. The Pig is alseep.
