About Rosemarie Price
Expertise
My over 20 years experience enables me to answer questions relating to Research Consent in Medical Research. Subject's rights are not discussed enough and it is an area the general public is not aware of in that great effort and many FDA and institutional guidelines and rules carry the ethics in which research is guiding the individuals experience in research.

Experience
Varied experience (Institutional Review Board Administrator and Board Participant, Research Monitor, Research Coordinator, Clinical Trial Data Manager, Research Interviewer) in many forms of research; cancer clinical trials; Alzheimers Disease; psychiatric adolescent research and epidemiology (colon and lung cancer). I have created protocols and carried them out in the field, the hospital setting and on the phone and in the field as an interviewer. I have been an administrator in three NYC Institutional Review Boards, reviewing protocols with knoweledge of the FDA research regulations. Also, I have been on the Institutional Review Board of a well known university hospital here in NYC. Most recently, created a Standard of Practice for a Department of Orthopaedics here in NYC as a Department Research Coordinator.

Medical Research on the Internet - Too much oxygen?


Expert: Rosemarie Price - 10/29/2009

Question
Since my husband has started using a c-pap machine, he has started hurting and feeling extremely back.  Kinda like "flu-like" symptons but we know it is not the flu.  His face looks swollen and his eyes are all puffy when he awakes.  The puffiness does not leave completely during the day.  His aching continues non-stop.  Could his machine be set too high ?  Or do you think this could possibly be symptoms of an undiagnosed heart problem ?

Answer
Hello,
I would suggest he call the sleep center first and find out if there are any effects such as what you described. I personally have never heard of this type of effect.
Secondly, he needs to call his doctor.
I am not an expert in this area, however, you do need to find out what is going on.
Thank you very much.
Rosemarie Price
