Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Regional Cerebral Blood Oxygenation Changes During Breath Holding
Recently, noninvasive MRI methods have been developed that are now capable of detecting and mapping regional hemodynamic responses to various stress tests, which involve the use of vasoactive substances such as acetazolamide or inhalation of carbon dioxide. The aim of this study was to assess regional cerebral blood oxygenation changes during breath holding at 1.5 T.

Sleep Apnoea and Breathing Retraining
This report analyses information from a survey on breathing retraining in relation to sleep apnoea, conducted in 2010 on behalf of the Buteyko Institute of Breathing and Health (BIBH). The aim of the BIBH survey was to determine how effective the Buteyko Institute Method (BIM) of breathing retraining is for clients suffering from sleep apnoea. Information obtained from this survey was based on the experiences of Buteyko Institute practitioners and covered over 11,000 clients with sleep apnoea who had been taught the method.
