(PhysOrg.com) -- Hours of analysing snoring sounds have paid off for a group of researchers from The University of Queensland and Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital. http://www.physorg.com/news177103046.html Medicine & Health Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:20:05 EST news177103046 Patients who suffer from both allergic rhinitis and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may experience escalated symptoms of stress and fatigue. http://www.physorg.com/news173882018.html Medicine & Health Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:20:01 EST news173882018 Nearly 1 in 10 patients with obstructive sleep apnea also experience "parasomnia" symptoms such as sleepwalking, hallucinations and acting out their dreams, a Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine study has found. http://www.physorg.com/news163736261.html Medicine & Health Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:18:07 EST news163736261 Patients with undiagnosed or untreated obstructive sleep apnea are especially vulnerable to the effects of sleep deprivation and even legal doses of alcohol when it comes to lowered driving performance and increased risk of vehicular accidents, according to new research to be announced on May 19 at the American Thoracic Society's 105th International Conference in San Diego. http://www.physorg.com/news162047568.html Medicine & Health Wed, 20 May 2009 14:13:19 EST news162047568 Diagnosing and treating obstructive sleep apnea may soon become much less expensive and arduous, thanks to new research showing that a simplified program using experienced nurses, home ambulatory diagnosis and auto-titrating continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines to titrate CPAP pressures is not inferior to the traditional model which relies on specialist physicians and sleep studies. http://www.physorg.com/news155559550.html Medicine & Health Fri, 06 Mar 2009 10:59:40 EST news155559550 (PhysOrg.com) -- A team of researchers from the University of Sydney has developed an innovative method to analyse digital photographs of faces in order to determine an individual's risk of developing Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). http://www.physorg.com/news151083366.html Medicine & Health Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:36:06 EST news151083366 Obstructive sleep apnea decreases blood flow to the brain, elevates blood pressure within the brain and eventually harms the brain's ability to modulate these changes and prevent damage to itself, according to a new study published by The American Physiological Society. The findings may help explain why people with sleep apnea are more likely to suffer strokes and to die in their sleep. http://www.physorg.com/news150461826.html Medicine & Health Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:57:06 EST news150461826 If a good night's sleep helps the brain and body perform better, it's a good guess that sleep problems can cause more than just fatigue. Numerous studies have shown a connection between sleep disorders and medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and metabolic disorders, including the risk of obesity and diabetes mellitus. http://www.physorg.com/news145547456.html Medicine & Health Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:50:56 EST news145547456
