Sleep apnea, sleep-disordered breathing, and intermittent
hypoxia have been identified and linked in latest research to
almost all major fatal medical conditions, from heart attack,
stroke, diabetes, COPD cancer, and major depressive disorders.
Current main-stream treatment options are unsatisfactory, and
the entire world is looking for a better or best solution.
This market is one of the most explosive and largely untapped
markets.
SleepApneaUSA.net, founded by Dr. Jin Zhou, relied upon
the latest research and clinically developed ZHT - Zhou's
Hypoxicology Therapy to discover a possible cure for sleep apnea
and provide an alternative care to those who can't tolerate
CPAP,"sleeping mask".
We are looking for
visionary investors, strategic partners, business alliance and
concerned healthcare providers to advance our goals, to find and
provide with possible cure for sleep apnea, and its related
major fatal medical conditions.
This web site is
mainly for visionary investors, strategic business partners and
concerned healthcare providers.
The 15 leading causes (table B) remainedthe same for 2002
and 2003 except that Assault (homicide)dropped out of the
15 leading causes in 2003 and Parkinson’s disease entered
the list as the 14th leading cause. The 15 leading causes
of death in 2003 were as follows:
1) Diseases of heart;
2) Malignant neoplasms;
3) Cerebrovascular diseases;
4) Chronic lower respiratory diseases;
5) Accidents (unintentional injuries);
6) Diabetes mellitus;
7) Influenza and pneumonia;
8) Alzheimer’s disease;
9) Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis;
10) Septicemia;
11) Intentional self-harm (suicide);
12) Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis;
13) Essential (primary) hypertension and hypertensive
renal disease;
14) Parkinson’s disease;
15) Pneumonitis due to solids and liquids."
Sleep Apnea research information
and latest news are just too much to display on this web site, with
more than several million hits on most subject, yet sleep apnea is
still ignored by the most.

"This special issue of the ARCHIVES is
devoted to original
investigationsthat further our understanding of the
relationship of sleepand health. The theme that
emerges throughout this issue isthat sleep serves as an
indicator of health and quality of lifeand therefore is
highly and directly relevant to the practiceof
medicine.......As evidenced by this issue of the ARCHIVES,
sleep is making its way into
the mainstream of medicine, but it is also quite clear that
much more research is needed to understand
the mechanisms that link
sleep to health and to the development of safer and more effective
treatments for sleep disorders."
Association of Nocturnal
Arrhythmias with Sleep-disordered Breathing: The Sleep
Heart Health Study.

PMID: 16424443 [PubMed - in process]
"Conclusions: Individuals with
severe sleep-disordered breathing have two- to fourfold
higher odds of complex arrhythmias than those without
sleep-disordered breathing even after adjustment for
potential confounders."
"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Dec 21 -
Treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with nasal
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) "is not a
solution to the problem," researchers report in the
December issue of the Annals of Neurology. The real
problem is the underlying neurological lesions that cause
disordered breathing and the solution, they say, is
prevention of progression of OSA....
Summing up, he added that it is
important to know the size and extent of the underlying
neurological lesion before surgery. It is also "important
to realize that nasal CPAP is not a complete solution and
that non-compliance is a major problem... surgery may be a
better solution."
“Over 5 years, we
managed healthy, nonobese subjects compliant with nasal
CPAP...... By the completion of the study, all subjects
required an increase in nasal CPAP (1-7cm H(2)O) and
demonstrated abnormal two-point palatal discrimination
compared with control subjects. Despite initial control of
clinical symptoms with regular usage of nasal CPAP in
subjects without weight change, abnormal sensory palatal
evaluation was present at the conclusion of the study.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome involves abnormal upper
airway sensory input, which may be responsible for the
development of apneas and hypopneas. These neurological
lesions are persistent despite nasal CPAP treatment. Ann
Neurol 2006.”
"CONCLUSIONS: MCA is a reliable
technique for the detection of EFL in different positions,
during resting breathing or exercise, requiring neither
special equipment nor patient cooperation."
"In conclusion: (1) There
is reduced nutritive flow response to aerobic exercise and
reduced maximal exercise time in FM that might relate to
higher iNOS protein content and contribute to exertional
fatigue in FM; (2) The increased dialysate lactate in FM in
response to stimulation of NOS or a nitric oxide donor
suggest that FM may
be more sensitive than HC to the suppressive effect of
nitric oxide on oxidative phosphorylation."

response to exercise. Eur Heart J.

PMID: 16267074 [PubMed - in process]
"CONCLUSION: OSAHS
patients with normal resting left ventricular systolic
function and no hypertension
had a worse cardiac response to exercise than healthy
subjects. In these patients, 3 months of CPAP improved
both Qt and SV responses to exercise."
"CONCLUSIONS:
Noninvasive
ventilation reduces the need for intubation and
mortality in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary
edema. Although the level of evidence is higher
for CPAP, there are no significant differences in
clinical outcomes when comparing CPAP vs NIPSV."

"CONCLUSIONS:
49% of male patients with systolic heart failure suffer
from sleep apnea and 20% have PLMS. CSA occurs in about
37%, and OSA in 12% of patients. Habitual snoring and
obesity are the hallmarks of OSA. In contrast, heart
failure patients with CSA are commonly thin and mostly
do not snore. Hallmarks of CSA are Class III New York
Heart, artrial fibrillation, frequent nocturnal
ventricular arrhythmias, low arterial PCO2 and LVEF
