But while you're looking for that: Five factors here: --small rises and falls of TV at compressed vertical scales used look insignificant; Thank you Captain Obvious --rolling averages of TV lag real time reductions of TV; Thank you again Captain Obvious --local high I/E ratios, duty cycles and respi...

Thank you for that remainder, Morbius, and BTW, did PR assign you a mission here, where his embarrassing early-thread dicta (e.g., "there is no connection between flow limitations and tidal volume") are being read too widely? Wellll, let's talk about that a little. Cause actually, in many of the ex...

CompSAS because of the increased pressures?

And that's a very aggressive attack we're talking about here.

Perhaps explaining the prolonged duty cycle, i.e., the lung's elasticity has been compromised.

For that matter, I would also take all that text under the graphs and edit to: 0330. Rolled on back. Therapy is less gooder. OTOH, if I were to renege on my promises of Now, my responses will not be quite as thorough as yours because 1. Using something like WordPad prevents post loss but I ain't do...

1) All I, an unknowing novice, write about sleep should be taken with a cup of salt and will, I hope, be challenged with constructive criticism.

OK.

Everything under "Post-OA RR&TV relationship:" is wrong.

A quotation from your offtopic NIH item https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2792969/ about a doctor's laudable study about treating OA with auto-PEEP: "Second: How effective is this form of therapy? The data from the current study would suggest that expiratory nasal resistors do reduce apn...

clinicians coruscating among hoi polloi -

I only coruscate with my wife.

And even then, I need to feed her a few drinks to loosen her up.

Fifth: Morbius, you wrote "One wonders if all that arousal-free FL during SWS was a result of +duty cycle (Auto-PEEP helping to treat OSA)" No...

No? What do mean "No"? You KNOW you weren't in SWS?

Other than those points, I have NFI what you're trying to say.

My bumbling novice work ...

Humblebrag.

I really hate that.

Second, Your link, Morbius, to NIH paper about treating apnea with auto-PEEP: Actually, the thought I was hoping to highlight from DPW was the role of FRC (which might be attained by inverse I:E ratio). As far as Provent goes, I believe we sufficiently raked it over the coals when it first came out...

Yup.

Your buddy Ali Azarbarzin invented it:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl ... Suppl.docx

But if discussion continues, then besides Can you highlight those observations that are clinically relevant? can you post how increased duty cycle represents the Second Coming of Satan? Because increased (or even inverse) I:E Ratios (the ultimate result of +duty cycle) might not be a bad thing. AAMO...
