Not all sleep apnea patients are obese. Contrary to popular opinion, not all people who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are obese.
However, a new study from Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) and the Prince of Wales Hospital (POWH) highlights that normal-to-overweight patients with OSA likely require a different approach to treatment, which presents a challenge to clinicians. Obstructive sleep apnoea, a common condition that affects more than one million Australians, occurs when the throat closes off many times throughout the night – up to 100 times per hour of sleep – which limits breathing during the night.
Obesity can cause an anatomical obstruction of the upper airway and is a well-established risk factor for sleep apnea. Joe Wicks: Try these simple exercises in 15 minutes at home. JOE Wicks’ exercise plan will get you burning fat, and that is a promise.
It’s all based around HIIT – high intensity interval training. The idea is that you work harder, for less time. Joe says: “HIIT might sound daunting to a novice but it is relative to each person. As long as you push yourself, your heart rate will rise, you’ll sweat and burn fat.” Four to five times a week you will complete one of Joe’s training sessions. For 30 seconds he will put you through a heart-racing fitness move. You then rest for 30 seconds before ramping up your heart rate again with another 30-second energy blast.

Giulia Enders: The surprisingly charming science of your gut. 10 Piriformis Stretches To Help You Get Rid Of Sciatica, Hip And Lower Back Pain. A comprehensive guide to the new science of treating lower back pain. Cathryn Jakobson Ramin’s back pain started when she was 16, on the day she flew off her horse and landed on her right hip.
For the next four decades, Ramin says her back pain was like a small rodent nibbling at the base of her spine. The aching left her bedridden on some days and made it difficult to work, run a household, and raise her two boys. By 2008, after Ramin had exhausted what seemed like all her options, she elected to have a “minimally invasive” nerve decompression procedure. But the $8,000 operation didn’t fix her back, either. Do baby boxes really save lives? Image copyright Alamy It's been claimed that Finland's baby boxes, given to every newborn in the country, help reduce cot deaths.
But what evidence is there that they lower infant mortality rates, asks Elizabeth Cassin. In June 2013, the BBC News website published an article entitled Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes. It's been viewed over 13 million times and sparked global interest in the idea. The article explained Finland's 75-year-old policy of giving every pregnant mother a cardboard box filled with baby products, such as clothes, sleeping bag, nappies, bedding and a mattress, and how the box itself could be used as a bed. One reason it attracted such attention is that Finland has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world - two deaths per 1,000 live births, compared with a global rate of 32 in 1,000, according to the UN.

But trouble in the gut can also affect the brain. This two-way relationship may be an unlikely key to solving one of medicine’s most pressing — and perplexing — mysteries: autism. Nearly 60 years after the disorder was first identified, the number of cases has surged, and the United Nations estimates that up to 70 million people worldwide fall on the autism spectrum. Yet there is no known cause or cure. The gut bacteria in individuals with autism aren’t just different… they may actually contribute to the disorder.

As an orthopedic surgeon, I spend a majority of my time dealing with knees—with everyone from teenagers to 90-year-olds, from professional athletes to weekend warriors and to people who just want to walk in comfort. For many of us, pain and knees go together—34 percent of Americans over the age of 54 said they suffer from chronic knee or leg pain—and seven million Americans (about 1.5 percent) have had a knee replacement.
But as a surgeon, I actually try my best to help my patients avoid surgery. As I tell my patients, if you’re willing to make some basic lifestyle changes and stick to them, you may be able to keep your knees happy and relatively painless—not only postponing knee surgery but perhaps not needing surgery at all.
