Commercial truck accidentrs are a significant public health hazard causing thousands of deaths and injuries each year, with driver fatigue and sleepiness being major causes.

Surgical interventions for many obese children suffering from obstructive sleep apnea may not cure the problem, according to recently released research findings.
