A new imaging technique using swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) shows promise for improving the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). By integrating an acousto-optic modulator, the system extends its range to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the upper airway during both awake and sleep states. In a study involving a 28-year-old patient with sleep disorder breathing, researchers identified significant airway obstruction, particularly in the oropharynx, and pinpointed obstruction sites using computational fluid dynamics. This innovative approach could enhance surgical decision-making and improve outcomes for OSA patients by providing more accurate, detailed airway assessments.

The University of Plymouth and International Osteopathic Education (IOE) are collaborating to deliver a new Master of Osteopathic Medicine programme. Students will learn the fundamentals of human health, with the course covering elements of physiology, anatomy, biomechanics and clinical examinations. They will also develop detailed understanding of osteopathic tests, techniques and treatments and how to use them correctly in the clinical setting.
