Medicine & Healthcare Respiratory therapy

To enhance the life quality of patients with sleep disordered breathing, researchers and clinicians led by an SUTD scientist used computational modelling to design custom-fit masks that have improved positive airway pressure treatment.

Potential benefits of method include subjecting patients to fewer exams and reducing health care costs

Researchers have revealed in an animal model that ImmuBalance, a fermented soybean product, is effective in suppressing airway inflammation caused by asthma. Results showed a decreased presence of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, a decrease in mucus production in the bronchial epithelium, and a suppression of proteins that induce eosinophilic inflammation.
