Is Isotope dilution hydrometry used in clinical practice?
NO

respiratory effort related arousals(RERA) during sleep
Which is more sensitive RDI or AHI?
RDI
Why does naltrexone alone not cause weight loss?
Naltrexone relies on buproprion to cleave POMC into alpha MSH and B endorphin. The Bendorphin binds to opiate receptors which causes a negative feedback loop on POMC. Thus naltrexone binds to it displacing bendorphins
