The pricipal event will consist of the Italian National freediving athletes challenging each other in the first competition of the CMAS new freediving discipline, known among lovers of freediving as "JB" or "Apnea Cube". The CMAS competitions take place in a cube 15x15x15: each diver must reach the base of the cube, go as far as possible along the sides of the cube base and then surface. The first world championship of this new discipline will be celebrated in Tunisia next September. Eight Nimar videocameras will be positioned to film all the phases of the competition. Before and after the competition all the freediving lovers will be able to try this new discipline and take part in a free short course regarding the use of monofin in freediving. The course will be held by David Landi, former world champion of finswimming, Armando Ballotta, former CT of the Italian finswimming national team and Mario Ciavarella, Professor of acquatic discipline theory at the University of Foggia. The course, which is open to all, will consist of a theory lesson during which freediving videos will be shown, and a session of training in the sea.

Seeing the story Sleep apnea can cause depression Introduction 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 invisible epidemic of sleep apnea and snoring 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. ... " (

Sleep Apnea Acute vs. Chronic Sleep Apnea By Patrick McMahon eHow Contributor updated: August 25, 2009 I want to do this! What's This? Sleep apnea is serious disorder that causes an individual to stop breathing as they sleep, causing the person to gasp and wake up in order to start breathing again. This process can repeat itself dozens to hundreds of times a night causing a person not to get an adequate amount of sleep. The cause of sleep apnea can either be obstructive, also called chronic, or central, also called acute. Types Acute sleep apnea is caused when the human brain's area for controlling the respiratory system are essentially not working right. Your brain is supposed to send signals on when to breathe. When the respiratory system is not getting the signals from the brain quick enough, your body has a delay when you do not breathe. Chronic sleep apnea is caused when the muscles in throat gradually weaken and slowly obstruct your airway. This is typically caused by several factors including age, sex, genes, and most importantly weight. The Facts Sleep apnea can cause severe problems for long-term sufferers. It is hard to identify when a person suffers from this sleeping disorder. Oftentimes a person's loved one is first to notice a problem while sleeping. It is estimated that one in every 15 Americans suffer from some form of sleep apnea, ranging from mild to severe cases. The most common type of sleep apnea is chronic, or obstructive, often brought on by weight gain and age.

Send Message Subscribe Karen Lee Richards Wednesday, October 31, 2007 View All of Karen Lee Richards's Posts According to an article in Pain Medicine , the journal of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, patients who use opioid-based pain medications have an increased risk of developing sleep apnea. In a recent study, three-fourths of the patients on chronic opioid therapy had some degree of sleep apnea. The study also revealed a direct dose-response relationship between central sleep apnea and methadone used with benzodiazepines. The research, conducted at the Lifetree Clinical Research and Pain Clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah, studied sleep lab data on 140 patients taking around-the-clock opioid therapy for chronic pain to assess the potential and prevalence of sleep apnea in opioid-treated pain patients. All patients were on opioid therapy for at least six months with stable dosing for at least four weeks. The results showed that 75 percent of the studied population had some form of sleep apnea, which is significantly higher than the estimated two to four percent found in the general population.

If the heart is still active, the condition is known as respiratory arrest. This is a life-threatening event that requires immediate medical attention and first aid. Prolonged apnea accompanied by lack of any heart activity in a person who is not responsive is called cardiac (or cardiopulmonary) arrest. In infants and children, the most common cause of cardiac arrest is respiratory arrest. In adults, the opposite usually occurs: Cardiac arrest leads to respiratory arrest. Causes Apnea can occur for many different reasons. The most common causes of apnea in infants and small children are generally quite different from the most common causes in adults.

References Definition of Apnea Apnea is the most common problem of ventilatory control in the premature infant frequently prolonging hospitalization and the need for cardiopulmonary monitoring. The standard definition of apnea is cessation of inspiratory gas flow for 20 seconds, or for a shorter period of time if accompanied by bradycardia (heart rate less than 100 beats per minute), cyanosis, or pallor. [Back to Table of Contents] Types of Apnea Apnea has been classified into three types depending on whether inspiratory muscle activity is present. If inspiratory muscle activity fails following an exhalation, it is termed Central Apnea . If inspiratory muscle activity is present without airflow, this is termed Obstructive Apnea . If both central and obstructive apnea occur during the same episode, this is termed Mixed Apnea . It is important to characterize a patient's apnea episodes into one or more types for treatment consideration. [Back to Table of Contents] Incidence of Apnea versus Gestational Age Although there is considerable variation in incidence and severity of apnea in premature infants, both are inversely related to gestational age. Approximately 50% of infants less than 1500 grams birth weight require either pharmacologic intervention or ventilatory support for recurrent prolonged apneic episodes. The peak incidence occurs between 5 and 7 days postnatal age. Apnea of Prematurity is a specific diagnosis and usually resolves between 34 to 36 weeks postconceptual age.

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. In a given night, the number of involuntary breathing pauses or “apneic events” may be as high as 20 to 60 or more per hour. These breathing pauses are almost always accompanied by snoring between apnea episodes, although not everyone who snores has this condition. Sleep apnea can also be characterized by choking sensations. The frequent interruptions of deep, restorative sleep often leads to excessive daytime sleepiness and may be associated with an early morning headache.
