Asthma bootcamp educates patients on treatment plans, inhalers
A free, educational bootcamp was offered by the UC Davis Asthma Network (UCAN™) providing patients 12 years and older and their parents or caregivers strategies on asthma control, treatment plans, and inhaler trainings.

Exploring neuromuscular conditions and sleep-disordered breathing
Sleep-disordered breathing is often the first sign of neuromuscular disease like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis and myotonic dystrophy. In a review published in the journal Children, UC Davis pulmonologists explored current diagnostic tools and treatments for pediatric patients with neuromuscular diseases and sleep-disordered breathing. The authors look forward to technological advances that will support home sleep studies for pediatric patients and emerging therapies that can treat neuromuscular conditions.
