Public release date: 19-Mar-2008 E-mail Article Contact: Karen Kreeger karen.kreeger@uphs.upenn.edu University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Molecular biology of sleep apnea could lead to new treatments PHILADELPHIA – Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have provided, for the first time, a detailed look at the molecular pathways underlying sleep apnea, which affects more than twelve million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health. Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by temporary breathing interruptions during sleep, in which disruptions can occur dozens or even hundreds of times a night. The team found that in an animal model of sleep apnea poorly folded proteins accumulate in one compartment of a muscle nerve cell, which, under certain conditions, tells a cell to heal itself or destroy itself. The findings appear in a recent issue of the Journal of Neuroscience. “Muscles relax as a normal part of sleep, causing the airway to close,” explains senior author Sigrid C. Veasey, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, at the Penn Center for Sleep. “But in patients with sleep apnea, oxygen levels in cells drop too low, sending an arousal signal to wake by gasping for air. This happens all night long, so patients experience bad quality sleep. In addition to problems with sleepiness, subtle peripheral neural injury occurs.” In a mouse model of sleep apnea, the researchers found that motor neurons of the jaw and face had swollen endoplasmic reticula, the part of the cell where proteins get folded properly. They surmised that misfolded proteins accumulated as the endoplasmic reticula of mice were exposed to decreased oxygen and oxygen fluctuations during sleep over eight weeks. The involvement of the endoplasmic reticula has never been shown before in explaining the physiology of sleep apnea on a cellular level, says Veasey.

FREE counter and Web statistics from sitetracker.com collision detection send me yours back to collision detection February 21, 2008 A possible explanation for "email apnea" Linda Stone, one of my all-time favorite thinkers on the impact of technology on human life, has written a superb piece about what she's termed "email apnea" the phenomenon of holding your breath while you check and write email. Stone noticed recently that whenever she sat down to check email, she began, quite unconciously, to hold her breath. Then she noticed that other people were doing it, too: I observed others on computers and BlackBerries: in their offices, their homes, at cafes. The vast majority of people held their breath, or breathed very shallowly, especially when responding to email. I watched people on cell phones, talking and walking, and noticed that most were mouth-breathing and hyperventilating. Consider also, that for many, posture while seated at a computer can contribute to restricted breathing. As Stone points out, holding your breath a lot wreaks havoc in your body's normal balance of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide. Among other things, it freaks you out by constantly triggering your fight-or-flight instinct; it also triggers the liver to "dump glucose and cholesterol into our blood, our heart rate to increase, our sense of satiety to be compromised, and our bodies to anticipate and resource for the physical activity that, historically, accompanied a physical fight or flight response." Stone hypothesizes that this may be a partial cause of today's increasing obesity rates.

The presentation by Gatti, a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, came as the American Academy of Sleep Medicine established new treatment parameters. While use of continuous positive airway pressure — commonly known as CPAP — remains the first line of treatment for patients with severe cases, the new parameters note that oral appliances may benefit some patients with airway obstruction, such as snoring patients who do not respond to losing weight or changing sleep positions.

PDF Version Driving when you have sleep apnea Driving is a complex skill. Our ability to drive safely can be affected by changes in our physical, emotional and mental health. The goal of this brochure is to help you, your family and your health care professional talk about how sleep apnea may affect your ability to drive safely. What is sleep apnea? Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing is interrupted during sleep. This results in a decrease in the oxygen level in your blood. Your body reacts by partially or completely awakening each time you stop breathing. This may occur many times over the course of the night. As a result, you do not get the necessary deep sleep you need. People with untreated sleep apnea often wake up feeling sleepy and remain sleepy throughout the day. How can sleep apnea affect my driving? Because sleep apnea affects your sleep, it also affects how you function during the day. Untreated sleep apnea can make it difficult for you to stay awake, to focus your eyes, to remain alert and to react quickly to driving situations. If you are very tired or find yourself falling asleep while at work or at home, you should not drive. It is unsafe for you and others on the road. Can I still drive if I have sleep apnea?

From the WEST From the EAST Most people with sleep apnea have obstructive apnea, in which the person stops breathing during sleep due to airway blockage. Sufferers usually resume breathing within a few seconds, but periods of as long as sixty seconds are not uncommon in serious cases. It is more common amongst people who snore, who are obese, who consume alcohol, or who have anatomical abnormalities of the jaw or soft palate. While there are several natural remedies for sleep apnea, the specific approach depends on the cause. Aromatherapy, herbal medicine, homeopathy, yoga, and relaxation techniques have all been shown to help with sleep disorders. Natural remedies, combined with improvements in lifestyle, may improve your sleep.

- ENTER HERE - A Patient's Online Reference By Wayne B. Colin, DMD, MD Lexington, Kentucky This web site has been designed as an educational resource for patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Indeed the successful use of CPAP requires no further intervention. However, CPAP is not for everyone. Some people cannot get adequate CPAP pressures to overcome their obstructive events. Certain patients find the side effects of CPAP therapy to be intolerable. For others, the thought of having to wear CPAP for an eternity is completely disagreeable. Surgery can successfully conclude the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea and produce freedom from CPAP, especially for mild to moderate disease severity. The "state of the art" surgical plan for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) should consider all of the treatment options found in this web site. This overview is designed to help you and your physician to make a more informed decision about the role that surgery might play in the treatment of your obstructive sleep apnea. Your Ear, Nose and Throat specialist should be able to provide more detailed information and further counseling as you consider your treatment options.
