The FDA has approved a new device, Excite OSA, to treat sleep apnea and snoring without needing to be worn at night. It involves a removable mouthpiece used for 20 minutes daily while awake. A study showed it reduced loud snoring by over 20% in most patients. Additionally, a study by Northwestern University found that over 800,000 American adults develop peanut allergies after age 18, with adults less likely to be diagnosed by a physician compared to children. Symptoms of peanut allergies include vomiting, hives, and trouble breathing.
