| Sleep apnoea operations more miss than hit
SURGERY for obstructive sleep apnoea is increasing even though it is still considered experimental and research shows it does not work for most patients, an Australian study has found. The operation had side effects such as a dry throat and voice changes, the study found. A review of 48 studies around the world showed 62 per cent of 21,346 patients reported persistent problems after surgery, including infrequent vomiting through the nose, which generally required corrective surgery, Adam Elshaug of the University of Adelaide, said yesterday. Up to 22 per cent regretted the surgery, Dr Elshaug said. The analysis by the university's discipline of public health department was published in the British Medical Journal yesterday. It cited a review of seven randomised trials in 2005, which concluded that surgery generally failed to alleviate symptoms.

Feigning distress 24/7 like the typical Bush Nazis, they use their professed distress to justify removing and/or hiding my articles, for hidden articles are hard to access and most likely tracked by hackers. Among the locations and sites where I am sure Shining Path is employing such practices are DC, Chicago, Seattle, LA, SF, Twin Cities, Milwaukee, Madison, NOLA, Miami, Austin, N.
