Sleep Apnea and Covid-19

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing stops periodically during sleep. The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when throat muscles relax and block the airway. This puts stress on the lungs and diaphragm to force air through the blocked passage.(1)

A study of data from Finland has found that patients with obstructive sleep apnea are five times more likely to have severe cases of Covid than are patients without this condition.(2)

Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Statistically controlling for these other associations, OSA is an independent predictor of severe Covid-19 illness.

The study cannot prove that OSA caused the more severe outcomes. But in a paper posted on medRxiv ahead of peer review, researchers advise doctors evaluating patients with suspected or confirmed coronavirus infection to recognize that the sleep disorder is a risk factor for…

Aventures chamaniques – “La Magie de l’Amazonie Les aventures de Meromi, une fille Yanomami”

Shamanic Adventures – “The Magic of the Amazon The Adventures of Meromi, a Yanomami Girl”

Barbara Crane Navarro

illustration tirée de « La Magie de l’Amazonie Les aventures de Meromi, une fille Yanomami”

“Ce deuxième volume de la série Amazon Rainforest Magic est aussi charmant et engageant que le premier. L’histoire continue le fil du livre précédent et les personnages semblent être de vieux amis.

Meromi, une fille Yanomami maintenant âgée de 9 ans, est une guérisseuse née et elle veut devenir chaman – et elle est encore plus résolue puisque les adultes de sa communauté disent que les filles ne peuvent pas … Avec l’aide d’alliés improvisés, elle cherche un moyen de décourager les intrus et de les faire quitter la forêt. Il est temps pour Meromi d’utiliser son don pour parler avec les animaux…

Des aspects de la vie traditionnelle des Yanomami dans la forêt tropicale sont tissés dans l’histoire fantaisiste. Les illustrations enchanteresses de l’auteur transforment les lecteurs en compagnons de voyage dans la quête magique…

Why meditation can give us joy?

Mindfulness meditation is having its moment in the recent decade and it has become a billion-dollar business. Companies like Nike, Google, Facebook, and Sony are using meditation to empower staff to be happy and creative. Steve Job meditated. Emma Watson meditates. Tim Ferriss meditated. After writing this blog post, I have convinced myself to start meditation too! Simply meditate 10 mins every day. I found myself happier and healthier! I dug into the myth of mediation and I have concluded 2 main reasons why meditation makes us happy — it makes us see things from a different perspective and live in the present.

Seeing from a different perspective

When I forget to bring the door keys and can’t go home, I judge myself being stupid and feel angry and ashamed. My judgment and reaction are automatic. My stupid example shows that we tend to…

It seems to me that – apart from the perspectives of the technocrats, the […]

13,580 new coronavirus cases logged in LA County; hospitalizations keep climbing – San Gabriel Valley Tribune

With 13,580 new cases logged on Sunday, Dec. 27, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported more than 40,000 new positive COVID-19 cases since Christmas Day. State officials, meanwhile, are expected to extend the strictest stay-home orders in Southern California on Monday as hospitals are quickly running out of intensive-care unit beds for coronavirus patients ahead of a presumed post-holiday surge.
