…But now, one scientist has a bold, new theory for why an estimated 3,500 babies a year succumb to SIDS, a mysterious and traumatic event that haunts parents for decades — inner ear dysfunction.
Dr. Daniel Rubens, an anesthesiologist at Seattle Children’s Hospital, had a hunch: If the part of the ear that controls balance is damaged, babies may be unable to reposition themselves when their breathing is compromised.

NOTE: Part of the problem I have with this new theory is that the article refers to 2 previous studies. Those studies were published in 2008 and 1985 – 7 and 30 years ago. If they were deemed to have been groundbreaking or important at the time they were published, additional studies should have been done by now.

Three small children with weak airways that were constantly collapsing are alive and well thanks to a “4-D” printed splint that saved them from almost certain suffocation.
Three years after the splints were custom made and attached to their tracheas, the children are able to breathe on their own, a team of doctors reported on Wednesday. The splints are not only precisely fitted to the children, but they’re made to grow as the children grow. That’s the fourth dimension, the researchers say.
…”Today, we see a way to cure a disease that has been killing children for generations,” said Dr. Glenn Green of the University of Michigan, who helped lead the work.
