Scientists may have found a pill for sleep apnea

A European clinical trial found that the drug sulthiame significantly reduced breathing interruptions in people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. Patients taking higher doses experienced up to 47% fewer pauses in breathing and improved oxygen levels during sleep. The drug helps stabilize breathing signals in the brain, reducing airway collapse. Scientists say the findings could pave the way for a pill-based alternative to CPAP machines.

Omega-3 fish oil supplements cut heart attacks and strokes by 43% in dialysis patients

A major international trial has found that daily fish oil supplements significantly reduced life-threatening cardiovascular events in dialysis patients. People who took four grams per day had a 43% lower risk of heart attack, stroke, cardiac death, or vascular-related amputations compared with those on placebo. The findings stand out because few treatments have successfully lowered heart risk in this high-risk group.
