Does clustering of infrared spectra reveal histological zones in intact articular cartilage?
FTIR microspectroscopy in combination with cluster analysis allows detailed examination of spatial changes in AC. As far as we know, no previous single technique could reveal a layered structure of AC without any a priori information.
Hypertensive OSA patients can exhibit large falls in BP with CPAP at 1 month, with further significant reductions at 3 and 6 months. Overall, the fall in BP was proportional to the initial elevation of the BP with many patients achieving normal BP at 6 months.
