Extractions: Facts About Sleep Apnea is a four-page brochure that discusses sleep apnea and how it is treated. There is also an Spanish version . Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood. First described in 1965, sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. It owes its name to a Greek word, apnea, meaning "want of breath." There are two types of sleep apnea: central and obstructive. Central sleep apnea, which is less common, occurs when the brain fails to send the appropriate signals to the breathing muscles to initiate respirations. Obstructive sleep apnea is far more common and occurs when air cannot flow into or out of the person's nose or mouth although efforts to breathe continue. 4 pages.

http://www.sleepdisorderchannel.net/osa/

Extractions: Sleep apnea afflicts more than 12 million people in the United States. It takes its name from the Greek word apnea, which means "without breath." People with sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, often for a minute or longer, and as many as hundreds of times during a single night. Sleep apnea can be caused by complete obstruction of the airway (obstructive apnea) or partial obstruction (obstructive hypopnea; hypopnea is slow, shallow breathing), both of which can disrupt sleep. There are three types of sleep apnea obstructive, central, and mixed. Of these, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common. OSA occurs in approximately 2% of women and 4% of men over the age of 35. Physiology and Causes Complications Physiology and Causes The cause of OSA is unclear. The site of obstruction in most patients is the soft palate, extending to the region at the base of the tongue. The body has no rigid structure, such as cartilage or bone, in this area to keep the airway open. During the day, muscles in the region keep the passage open. As a person with OSA falls asleep, these muscles relax to a point where the airway collapses and becomes obstructed. When the airway closes, breathing stops, and the sleeper awakens to open the airway. The arousal from sleep usually lasts only a few seconds, but brief arousals disrupt continuous sleep and prevent the person from reaching the deep stage of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which the body needs to rest and replenish its strength. Once normal breathing is restored, the person falls back to sleep, only to repeat the cycle throughout the night.

Extractions: NEW The August edition of our patient newsletter, The Saratoga Snorer Pulmonary Physicians of Saratoga Sleep Lab specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and sleep disorders . They are dedicated to serving Saratoga Springs and the surrounding area. If you have three or more of the above symptoms speak with your physician about having a sleep study. People most likely to have or develop sleep apnea are those who snore loudly, are overweight, or have some physical abnormality in the nose, throat or other parts of the upper airway. Sleep apnea seems to run in some families suggesting a possible genetic basis. Sleep Apnea is treatable through a variety of methods, both surgical and non-surgical. The specific therapy for sleep apnea is tailored to the individual patient based on medical history and the results of a diagnostic sleep study. Some people may need additional testing called a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT). This test is used to assess and evaluate daytime sleepiness. The test is a series of naps administered at two-hour intervals throughout the day.

Sleep Apnea Masks
Details about the product and contact information.
http://www.sleepapneamasks.com.au/

Extractions: Collin Anderson , an Australian Consulting Engineer and sleep apnea sufferer, believed in order to have a restful nights sleep a mask would have to be custom made to the persons face. After 7 years of research, development and testing, we believe we have produced the worlds best mask because of our patented design features. These features address all the problems such as leakage, pressure sores (caused by excessive strap pressure), noise, and visibility, cleaning problems, sore ear lobes, moisture and Co2 build up etc.etc. A Sleep Apnea Mask custom made to your exact facial shape. The Anderson Mask is the only one of its type available anywhere in the world. Click here for more information... As a comparison, conventional masks have a huge sealing area of approximately 4 square inches. This requires a heavy strap pressure and so the larger the sealing area the more strap pressure required. Your new Personally Moulded Sleep Apnea Mask is only 1/8 of the sealing area of a conventional mask therefore, a lot less strap pressure and a lot more comfort.

Extractions: Sleep apnea can cause depression New Technology Publishing HealthyResources COPD Courage and Information: COPD book ... BROKEN LINKS Sleep apnea can cause symptoms of apparent clinical depression which may respond quickly to treatment of the sleep disorder. A knowledge of the intellectual and emotional impact of sleep apnea may be important in making a correct differential diagnosis. Unfortunately, many physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists may be unaware of this connection which may lead to apparent symptoms of depression. If there is a possibility that a patient's depression is caused by sleep apnea, they should undergo evaluation and, if necessary, receive treatment for their sleep disorder. In addition, people with sleep apnea may need support in addressing emotional aspects of treatment and recovery. Informed, trained therapists can provide essential therapy and support to the patient and the patient's family in the recovery process. The impact of sleep apnea and snoring on sleep and health in the individual and for the public should not be ignored. According the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research: "Forty million Americans are chronically ill with various sleep disorders...Sleep apnea alone is the cause of excessive daytime sleepiness experienced by almost 20 million Americans... Overwhelming evidence from testimony and specific surveys suggests that the vast majority of Americans with sleep disorders remain undiagnosed and untreated. ... " (

http://www.aafp.org/afp/991115ap/2279.html

Extractions: Advanced Search O bstructive sleep apnea is a disorder in which complete or partial obstruction of the airway during sleep causes loud snoring, oxyhemoglobin desaturations and frequent arousals. As a result, affected persons have unrestful sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. The disorder is associated with hypertension, impotence and emotional problems. Because obstructive sleep apnea often occurs in obese persons with comorbid conditions, its individual contribution to health problems is difficult to discern. The disorder has, however, been linked to angina, nocturnal cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, stroke and motor vehicle crashes. Even though obstructive sleep apnea is fairly common, it often remains undiagnosed in primary care practice. Because the disorder is associated with significant morbidity and even some mortality, family physicians need to be familiar with its clinical presentation and treatment. Pathophysiology Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by repetitive upper airway obstruction during sleep as a result of narrowing of the respiratory passages. Patients with the disorder are most often overweight, with associated peripharyngeal infiltration of fat
