<P>Snoring is a low-frequency sound produced by vibrations of the soft tissues of the oropharyngeal walls during sleep. It is common in childhood and represents the most frequent symptom of sleep-disordered breathing. Its reported prevalence ranges from 1.5% to 12%. In contrast, the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea has been reported to range

Postgraduate Medicine, 1992
Snorers sleep through their obnoxiously loud breathing, but other members of their household often do not. Their bed partner and family members may grow so tired of the noise that they insist the offender seek medical attention. Physiologic problems such as obesity, narrowing of the airway, or inadequate oropharyngeal muscle tone often can be ...

Age and Ageing, 1987
The frequency of snoring was studied in 46 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), 37 with multiinfarct dementia (MID), and in a random sample of 124 elderly community residents without known diseases affecting higher cortical functions. The demented patients were reported to snore twice as frequently as the control subjects (P less than 0.05).

Snoring source identification and snoring noise prediction
Journal of Biomechanics, 2007This paper investigates the snoring mechanism of humans by applying the concept of structural intensity to a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of a human head, which includes: the upper part of the head, neck, soft palate, hard palate, tongue, nasal cavity and the surrounding walls of the pharynx.

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1986
Habitual, loud snoring is common in the adult population, and may be the only symptom of the more serious Obstructive Sleep Apnoea syndrome. We report here our results of uvulo-palato-pharyngo-plasty (UPPP), with or without nasal surgery, for snoring. Quantitative grading of the severity of the snoring shows that all patients were cured of symptomatic ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981
To the Editor.— This is in response to the letter "Help a Snorer" (1980;244:1783). Whether wearing a cervical collar at bedtime cures snoring or not is debatable, but the rationale cited for its justification is wrong. Snoring sounds are not produced by obstruction of the trachea but of the upper respiratory airway.

Acoustics of snoring and automatic snore sound detection in children
Physiological Measurement, 2017Acoustic analyses of snoring sounds have been used to objectively assess snoring and applied in various clinical problems for adult patients. Such studies require highly automatized tools to analyze the sound recordings of the whole night's sleep, in order to extract clinically relevant snore- related statistics.

Snoring classified: The Munich-Passau Snore Sound Corpus
Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2018Snoring can be excited in different locations within the upper airways during sleep. It was hypothesised that the excitation locations are correlated with distinct acoustic characteristics of the snoring noise. To verify this hypothesis, a database of snore sounds is developed, labelled with the location of sound excitation.Video and audio recordings ...

Overnight pulse oximetry in snoring and non-snoring children
Clinical Otolaryngology, 1995The effect of snoring on overnight pulse oximetry recordings in the paediatric community was investigated. A random sample of 222 children up to 10 years of age from the town of Frome, Somerset, UK, had overnight pulse oximetry performed in the home environment. The oximetry recordings obtained from 58 snoring and 164 non-snoring subjects were compared.

Epileptic intermittent snoring
Neurology, 2001Snoring is an inspiratory noise, from airflow-induced vibration of the oropharyngeal soft tissues during sleep.1 This vibration results from a narrowing of the upper airways, caused by a disequilibrium between two forces: the inspiratory increment of the intrathoracic pressure and the phasic activation of oropharyngeal dilator muscles.1 Intermittent ...
