Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Excerpt

The original SAGES LINX Safety and Efficacy Analysis (SEA) was completed and published online in 2013. The literature presented in this first document was based on the pre-market and the initial post-market experience that had been published in the peer reviewed literature at the time. In the 3 years that have passed since the original SAGES Technology and Value Assessment Committee (TAVAC) LINX SEA was published, sufficient new data has become available to necessitate an update and a fresh look at the SAGES recommendations with regards to this technology. …
