Snoring DeviceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Some people may laugh about it, but snoring is really not that funny. It can disrupt your sleep and that of your spouse. And if you have sleep apnea and you stop breathing during the night, you have an increased risk of cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure or even heart attack. Doctors at Mayo Clinic are helping many patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea and people who simply snore get a good night's rest. That's thanks to a special dental device.

Hip Pain and ReplacementEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Every year thousands of people undergo hip replacement surgery to get rid of pain caused by arthritis. The good news is that most hip replacement operations are successful, and people who have them are pain free. But sometimes, after years of wear, those replacement joints can loosen. New technology is making that happen much less often. But for people who do experience pain because of a worn out replacement, doctors at Mayo Clinic have ways to fix the problem.

Breast Cancer RiskEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Every year about 250-thousand women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer. Most of these women were not known to be at high risk. That's why researchers at Mayo Clinic are looking for better ways to identify who's at increased risk in order to enhance early detection and, perhaps some day, help these women prevent the disease. They're finding clues in breast tissue. (Source: Mayo Clinic - Medical Edge Video)

Fishing for Future ScientistsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.

Few words can capture the grief a family feels when they lose a child. The family you're about to meet said good-bye to two-year-old Makayla when she died from a rare genetic disorder.

ACL Injury PreventionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This story is all too common on the soccer field and basketball court. A high school athlete jumps to get the ball, lands and blows out a knee. And most of that time those athletes are girls. Girls are four to six times more likely to suffer a certain kind of knee injury than boys.

Imaging DementiaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Memory loss, personality changes, a shrinking ability to do daily tasks. It's not easy to watch a loved one suffer from dementia. It's also not easy at times for doctors to know exactly what kind of dementia a person may have. That's because there's not been a test that can differentiate between, say, Alzheimer's disease and Lewy Body Dementia. Now, researchers at Mayo Clinic have developed a way to look at the living brain and more accurately tell what type of dementia a person has. And this may help get patients on the right treatment.
