| Sleep apnea death risk uncovered | | 2008-08-01 09:25:26 | | Sleep-disordered breathing (also known as sleep apnea) is associated with an increased risk of death, according to new results from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort, an 18-year observational study supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health. Researchers found that adults (ages 30 to 60) with sleep-disordered breathing at the start of the study were two to three times more likely to die from any cause compared to those who did not have sleep-disordered breathing.

| Sleep Apnea Linked to Night Heart Attacks | | 2008-07-23 02:56:00 | | (HealthDay News) -- A study links night-time heart attacks with the breathing disorder sleep apnea, which makes people gasp for breath every few minutes.The link is not fully established, but it seems logical, said Dr. Virend Somers, a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic who is lead author of the report in the July 29 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 a.m. and noon, Somers said. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened, he said. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.Their studies have looked at the most common form, obstructive sleep apnea, in which the tube carrying air to the lungs, collapses periodically, blocking the flow. "About 10 years ago, we showed that obstructive sleep apnea has a powerful effect on the sympathetic nervous system, causing an acute increase in adrenaline flow, h | | By: Integrative Medicine (CAM) Blog | | |

| Single Nasal Tube Solutions for Sleep Apnea | | 2007-07-23 03:45:07 | | The thing with sleep apnea these days is that it congests the nasal airway passages, thereby leading to obstructive breathing and eventual snoring in the process. There are various solutions provided such as the ever so popular CPAP masks to help aid people when they sleep but the matter of comfort has not been properly covered. Some people find it a nuisance to wear masks, taking them out of their comfort zone just to avoid sleep obstruction and get the supposed sleeping respite that people should be readily enjoying.
With this new kind of alternative, a single nasal tube which will deliver warm and humidified air at a high flow rate can improve patient outcomes with the said sleeping disorder. The study was conducted at the John Hopkins University.
