Additional Edit to Treatment (CPAP)

CPAP seems to benefit patients with more severe sleep apnea the most."

editMore modern pictures
editI replaced the picture of the ancient CPAP device with one of a newer model. It would be nice if we could get some more up to date pictures of CPAP masks as well.
