Pulse transit time: an appraisal of potential clinical applications.
TL;DR: Current techniques for investigating patients with suspected sleep disordered breathing are inadequate and the difficulty in identifying and quantifying the spectrum of respiratory events responsible for the sleep fragmentation and disabling excessive daytime sleepiness that is characteristic of obstructive sleep apnoea and its related conditions.

Large lung bullae in marijuana smokers
TL;DR: Four men with multiple large upper zone lung bullae but otherwise relatively preserved lung parenchyma had a history of significant exposure to marijuana, suggesting a possible causal role for marijuana in the pathogenesis of this unusual pattern of bullous emphysema.

TL;DR: Cartman as mentioned in this paper won first place in the competition finals by stowing 14 (out of 16) and picking all 9 items in 27 minutes, scoring a total of 272 points.

Obstructive sleep apnoea and the autonomic nervous system
TL;DR: Normalizing respiration with CPAP therapy prevents the acute cardiovascular changes and reduces the acute sympathetic over-activity, and in compliant patients, restores abnormal vagal responses to normal and reduces excess chronic sympathetic activity.

TL;DR: An additional robotic design aspect, precision vs. redundancy, is proposed that should be considered alongside the previously proposed design aspects of modularity vs. integration, generality vs. assumptions, computation vs. embodiment and planning vs. feedback.
