Complex sleep apnea unmasked by the use of a mandibular advancement device.
TL;DR: This work presents two patients who developed comparable central apnea activity when treated with either a CPAP device or a mandibular advancement device, and proposes that the current definition of CompSAS should broaden to include diagnosis in non-PAP-treated patients, who are managed witheither a dental appliance or a surgical procedure.

Clinical heterogeneity of patients with complex sleep apnea syndrome
TL;DR: Although most patients withCompSAS have cardiac comorbidities, about one third of patients do not have any risk factors of CompSAS prior to sleep testing, suggesting better tailoring of therapy to pathophysiology involved in an individual case.
Etiology of Increased Enzymuria in Different Morphological Forms of Glomerulonephritis
TL;DR: Increased urinary excretion of elastase, with concomitant high proteinuria and NAG excretion in patients with proliferative GN may indicate that leukocyte degranulation is an additional source of enzymuria in the primary i.e. glomerular inflammatory process.

Pulmonary nocardiosis in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease--case report and literature review.
TL;DR: A 70-year-old patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treated with inhaled steroids, theophylline, short-acting beta-agonists and anticholinergics, and long-term oxygen therapy, who presented with non-resolving pneumonia is reported.
New Approaches to Positive Airway Pressure Treatment in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
TL;DR: Recent developments in treatment of OSA with PAP are discussed, including devices that can recognize and differentiate sleep-disordered breathing events, adjust their output to these events, monitor usage, and communicate with the treatment team.
