A new device to hopefully "cure" osa????????

"In this kind of research, we're not looking for little changes," says Dr. Meir Kryger, a sleep medicine specialist at Gaylord Hospital in Connecticut, who is helping to lead the study. "What we're looking for is actually cure."


Maybe I'm being optimistically naive, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one!
