People Who Snore Loudly at Risk of Heart Disease
March 11th, 2011 | 
Author: 
People who snore loudly, have difficulty falling asleep, or often wake up feeling tired may also be at increased risk of developing heart disease and other health problems say researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.
They asked more than 800 people between the ages of 45 and 74 about the quality of their sleep. Three years later, the people who reported snoring loudly were more than twice as likely to have metabolic syndrome — a cluster of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke that includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, low “good” cholesterol, high triglycerides, and excess belly fat.
Overall, 14 percent of the study participants developed metabolic syndrome. African Americans were more susceptible than whites, as were sedentary people.
The findings, which appear in the journal Sleep is said to be the first study to follow people with sleep problems over time to see if they develop metabolic syndrome.
Virend Somers, M.D., a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota, says that sleep deprivation is an “epidemic” that is “almost in parallel” with the obesity epidemic and the widespread rise of risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.
Hormoz Ashtyani, M.D., medical director of the Institute for Sleep-Wake Disorders at Hackensack University Medical Center, in New Jersey, says that doctors should begin asking patients about their sleep quality in order to gauge their risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Palliative Care Aids Quality of Life at End of Life
Some terminally ill patients who receive palliative care live longer and with a better quality of life than those who receive standard medical care.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School evaluated the life expectancy and quality of life of roughly 150 patients with terminal lung cancers. Patients were asked questions about their mood and their quality of life at the start of the study and again after 12 weeks of treatments.
Patients receiving palliative care, which focuses on treating pain, anxiety and loss of appetite, reported a 50% lower rate of depression than non-palliative patients. They also lived an average of 2.5 months longer. The study appears in the the New England Journal of Medicine.
Death an dying is not something people want to talk about. Even when loved ones have spelled out their wishes we often subject them to unnecessary medical treatment that does little good.
Wouldn’t you rather have a few more months with a loved one who was lucid and living a quality life to their last day. Consider these options and talk to your family members about them.

The Maddy Report Sacramento Segment 2
“Sacramento: Reporting from Wonderland”
Summary: California has always led the way—in technology, education, jobs and quality of life. But many say something has happened to the Golden State—that the State has simply become ungovernable—and they point to the perennial budget crisis the State been facing for much of the last 20 years. And this year is no different–with billions of dollars of temporary budget solutions from last year ready to expire and the economy recovering slowly, California once again faces a mammoth budget problem…And, like last year, the Governor has declared another “fiscal emergency”—calling the leg into special session to deal with the almost $20B deficit. And while the Governor is hoping for billions of aid from the Federal Government and the Legislature is hoping for an immediate economic rebound, the state continues to spend $600 million more a month than it takes in…
Has California simply become too big to govern?
Has partisan gridlock and the lack of civility in Sacramento tarnished the Golden State?
And what about the Valley—how does the dysfunction in Sacramento impact the pressing issues we face including jobs, water, air quality and quality of life?
Will the election of a new governor in November change the political calculus?
And what are the key political reforms that could put the State back on track?
Maddy Institute Executive Director Mark Keppler talks to two of Sacramento’s most respected political observers:
John Meyers. Sacramento Bureau Chief — KQED and Anthony York, Editor of the Capital Weekly and Special Correspondent for the LA Times.
Segment 2 of the program discusses the annual state budget battle in Sacramento.
