MEMORIES 2

In 2012, our research team conducted a pilot study using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for treatment of OSA in MCI patients. CPAP is a FDA approved, medically prescribed device used to treat the repeated pauses in breathing experienced during sleep in patients diagnosed with OSA. It has been used since the 1980s and currently, there are more than one million people using CPAP to treat OSA. This device delivers a mild stream of pressurized air by way of a face or nasal mask to support and keep the airway open during sleep and help keep pauses in breathing from happening... We are the Perelman School of Medicine -- the Nation's First -- and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania -- the nation's first hospital built by a medical school. Our heritage is the cornerstone for our future and the legacy which supports our pursuit of the highest standards in education, research, and patient care.
