AP WASHINGTON - More than 70 percent of students involved in school-related arrests or cases referred to law enforcement were Hispanic or African-American, according to an Education Department report that raises questions about whether students of all races are disciplined evenhandedly in America s schools.Black students are more than three times as likely as their white peers to be suspended

The findings come from a national collection of civil rights data from 2009-10 of more than 72,000 schools serving 85 percent of the nation.The Education Department said it would release more details Tuesday. The sad fact is that minority students across America face much harsher discipline than non-minorities, even within the same school, Education Secretary Arne Duncan told reporters.Duncan said some school officials might not have been aware of inconsistencies in how they handle discipline, and he hoped the report would be an eye-opener. According

Sleep apnea increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. But the treatment, wearing a CPAP mask to bed, is so uncomfortable that many patients abandon it. Now, research in this week New England Journal of Medicine shows that a pacemaker-like electronic implant could reduce symptoms by nearly 70%, by directly stimulating the muscles
termo stanley in the throat to keep the airway open during sleep. It like autopilot for breathing. Like a cardiac pacemaker, the apnea device is implanted under the skin of the chest. A sensor placed between the fourth and fifth ribs monitors breathing patterns, sending a signal to the hypoglossal nerve with each breath. The nerve signal stimulates the muscle at the back of the tongue, keeping the airway open to allow normal breathing. Patients use a remote control to turn the device on at bedtime, and switch it off when they get up. In a 12-month study of 126 patients fitted with the device, it reduced the number of times patients slowed or stopped breathing by nearly 70%. While the device isn ;t meant for everybody 鈥?researchers say it won ;t work well in very obese patients or those with certain types of soft palate collapse 鈥?the
stanley cup promise of CPAP-free therapy for sleep apnea patients is huge. And the wireless remote control activation means sleep mode isn ;t just for smartphones anymore. [
