Methods: In two 12-week, randomized, placebo-controlled trials and one 1-year open-label extension study, changes in weight were evaluated from baseline to end of study (week 12 or week 40 of the open -label extension [after up to 52 weeks of solriamfetol treatment]) in participants with OSA or narcolepsy. Results: After 12 weeks of solriamfetol treatment, median percent change in weight from baseline across all solriamfetol doses was-0.84%, compared with 0.54% for placebo, in participants with OSA; and-0.07%, compared with 3.08% for placebo, in participants with narcolepsy. After up to 52 weeks of solriamfetol treatment, overall median percent change in weight from baseline was-1.76%, which showed a dose-dependent pattern (75 mg, 0.57%; 150 mg,-1.2%; 300 mg,-2.5%).Results were similar in subgroups of participants with OSA or narcolepsy, with overall median percent changes in weight of-2.2% and-1.1%, respectively. After up to 52 weeks of solriamfetol treatment, the percentage of participants with weight loss >= 5% relative to baseline was 25.7% overall and increased in a dose -dependent manner (75 mg, 4.5%; 150 mg, 17.3%; 300 mg, 32.4%). Results were similar among sub-groups of participants with OSA or narcolepsy, with 26.4% and 24.2% of participants experiencing weight loss >= 5%, respectively. No weight-related treatment-emergent adverse events were serious. Conclusions: Solriamfetol treatment was associated with decreases in body weight in a dose-related manner.(c) 2022 The Authors.

Show moreAdvances in neonatal care have resulted in improved outcomes for high-risk newborns with technologies playing a significant part although many were developed for the neonatal intensive care unit. The care provided in the delivery room (DR) during the first few minutes of life can impact short- and long-term neonatal outcomes. Increasingly, technologies have a critical role to play in the DR particularly with monitoring and information provision. However, the DR is a unique environment and has major challenges around the period of foetal to neonatal transition that need to be overcome when developing new technologies. This review focuses on current DR technologies as well as those just emerging and further over the horizon. We identify what key opinion leaders in DR care think of current technologies, what the important DR measures are to them, and which technologies might be useful in the future. We link these with key technologies including respiratory function monitors, electoral impedance tomography, videolaryngoscopy, augmented reality, video recording, eye tracking, artificial intelligence, and contactless monitoring. Encouraging funders and industry to address the unique technological challenges of newborn care in the DR will allow the continued improvement of outcomes of high-risk infants from the moment of birth. Impact Technological advances for newborn delivery room care require consideration of the unique environment, the variable patient characteristics, and disease states, as well as human factor challenges. Neonatology as a speciality has embraced technology, allowing its rapid progression and improved outcomes for infants, although innovation in the delivery room often lags behind that in the intensive care unit. Investing in new and emerging technologies can support healthcare providers when optimising care and could improve training, safety, and neonatal outcomes. Show less
