An experimental infrared camera may be able to detect breathing problems in people with sleep apnea, taking at least some of the discomfort out of diagnosis of this chronic sleeping disorder, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

The findings from a small study suggest that etanercept may be a useful treatment for the excessive daytime sleepiness that often occurs with obstructive sleep apnea. In fact, the decrease in sleepiness was greater than typically seen with continuous positive airway pressure, one of the standard treatments for this condition.
