Obesity leads also to

• Novel approaches to maintaining upper airway patency and promoting weight reduction in
obstructive sleep apnoea.
Tests of 159 drivers at one anonymous haulage company showed that 9 per cent suffered from severe cases of

Only one in four people with

He contributes to other large - scale clinical trials including SAVE (evaluating whether treatment of
obstructive sleep apnoea with continuous positive airways pressure can reduce the incidence of serious CV events in patients with established CVD), and CREDENCE, a randomised, double - blind, placebo - controlled trial assessing whether canagliflozin can slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
