Does continuous positive airway pressure improve exercise capacity and heart rate recovery in obstructive sleep apnea?
Treatment with nCPAP is associated with an improvement in peak VO(2) and heart rate recovery in patients with OSA.
Among VLBW neonates, pre-eclampsia and IUGR are associated with a lower platelet mass, owing to their effect on platelet count. Histological chorioamnionits is associated with a larger platelet mass. A mass<10th percentile on the days following birth was associated with severe IVH and/or death, but it remains unclear whether this is a cause of, or an effect of, the IVH.
