Finnish researcher Väinö Virtanen has developed a method for analysing snoring sounds by using a PC with a microphone connection and a wireless microphone. The objective was to create an application that could be used at home to monitor snoring. By utilizing this technology, researchers from Tampere University of Technology and the University of Helsinki have investigated sleep disorders and further refined related screening technologies. The collaboration has already spawned the smart alarm clock HappyWakeUp that was launched last year. It is the first health-promoting mobile phone application in the world. http://www.physorg.com/news177849516.html Medicine & Health Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:54:46 EST news177849516 Radiofrequency ablation, a procedure that uses heat to shrink the tissue of the soft palate, is an effective and minimally invasive procedure that can be used to treat patients who snore. http://www.physorg.com/news173955203.html Medicine & Health Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:53:44 EST news173955203 If you are pregnant and your mate complains your frequent snoring is rattling the bedroom windows, you may have bigger problems than an annoyed, sleep-deprived partner. http://www.physorg.com/news163905587.html Medicine & Health Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:20:05 EST news163905587 A study in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that objectively measured heavy snoring is an independent risk factor for early carotid atherosclerosis, which may progress to be associated with stroke. http://www.physorg.com/news139457674.html Medicine & Health Mon, 01 Sep 2008 03:14:34 EST news139457674 A predisposition to adult snoring can be established very early in life.
