For the Air- minded
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep.Each episode, called an apnea (Greek: ἄπνοια (ápnoia), from α- (a-), privative, πνέειν (pnéein), to breathe), lasts long enough so that one or more breaths are missed, and such episodes occur repeatedly throughout sleep. The standard definition of any apneic event includes a minimum 10 second interval between breaths, with either a neurological arousal (a 3-second or greater shift in EEG frequency, measured at C3, C4, O1, or O2), a blood oxygen desaturation of 3-4% or greater, or both arousal and desaturation. Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram, or a "Sleep Study" which is often conducted by a pulmonologist.
Symptoms may be present for years (or even decades) without identification, during which time the sufferer may become conditioned to the daytime sleepiness and fatigue associated with significant levels of sleep disturbance.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common category of sleep-disordered breathing.
The muscle tone of the body ordinarily relaxes during sleep and at the level of the throat the human airway is composed of collapsible walls of soft tissue which can obstruct breathing during sleep.
Mild, occasional sleep apnea, such as many people experience during an upper respiratory infection may not be important, but chronic, severe obstructive sleep apnea requires treatment to prevent sleep deprivation and other complications.
The most serious complication is a severe form of congestive heart failure called cor pulmonale.
Common symptoms include loud snoring, restless sleep, and sleepiness during the daytime. Diagnostic tests include home oximetry or polysomnography in a sleep clinic.
Some people benefit from various kinds of oral appliances to keep the airway open during sleep. "Breathing machines" like the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may help. There are also surgical procedures to remove and tighten tissue and widen the airway.
OSA symptoms, signs and sequelae
This section summarizes the clinical picture and consequences of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
In the June 27, 2008 edition of the journal Neuroscience Letters, researchers revealed that people with OSA show tissue loss in brain regions that help store memory, thus linking OSA with memory loss.
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the scientists discovered that sleep apnea patients' mammillary bodies were nearly 20 percent smaller, particularly on the left side.
One of the key investigators hypothesized that repeated drops in oxygen lead to the brain injury.
I decided to give it a shot...Saturday, September 20, 2008My motto of lifeDon't Know? Don't care! Don't want to care.

Lame, Shit, Crap, I hate all!
Being Noisy is not cool at all.
The best way to live is to know how to S.T.O.W.!
Sleep and slack to the end, no fear!
Think of a solution at the end,
Own is always not the idea,
Winning and Glory is not forever!
Learn to accept things they are,
As, you are what they are.
The world is unfair,
The world is cruel.
Its up to you to find your own -
FREEDOM and HAPPINESS.
Live life to what it is,
Live is to what you can.
The enjoyment comes from within!
