Snoring In The News*
Search for drug to combat snoring sleep (ninemsn, Jul 5 2005) Researchers from Sydney's Woolcock Institute of Medical Research are searching for a drug to combat sleep apnea, a condition affecting up to five percent of Australians. Dr Grunstein says identifying a drug to treat obstructive sleep apnea would transform the way the condition was treated in Australia. "We believe the identification of a safe drug to treat the condition would see a lot more sufferers coming forward for treatment and a subsequent improvement in their health." Snoring Tots More Likely to Be Hyperactive Later (FOXNews.com, Jul 2 2005) Young children who snore may be more than four times more likely to become hyperactive later in life than those who don't, according to a new study. The results of this current study showed that children who snored or had other symptoms of sleep apnea, such as daytime sleepiness, at the start of the study were more likely to have developed hyperactivity four years later. They say that the results do not prove that sleep-disordered breathing causes hyperactive behavior but they do provide evidence to support this hypothesis. Say goodbye to loud snoring with a song (news.telegraph, Jun 30 2005) A hospital consultant is to conduct a clinical trial to test if singing exercises can reduce or eradicate snoring. Malcolm Hilton, the consultant otolaryngologist leading the trial, is using a "Singing for Snorers" course devised by a singing teacher, Alise Ojay. She carried out a pilot study in 1999, after which one woman reported that the exercises had "reduced my snoring from a loud roar to a very quiet murmur." |
