Join Pontus Siren on a discussion around the possible missing link in SIDS research: SIDS and the Diaphragm.

The cause of death in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is unknown. Scientists know that risk factors include the prone sleeping position, prematurity, low birth weight, and non-lethal infections. SIDS likely has a respiratory origin, but the diaphragm that powers the vital respiratory pump has not been adequately investigated in the context of SIDS. Diaphragm failure is a well-known cause of death in adults, and SIDS-Critical Diaphragm Failure (SIDS-CDF) hypothesis posits that the diaphragm plays a central role in SIDS. Pontus Siren investigates the diaphragm in the context of SIDS.
