Apnea is traditionally classified as either obstructive, central, or mixed . Obstructive apnea may occur when the infant s neck is hyperflexed or conversely, hyperextended. It may also occur due to low pharyngeal muscle tone or to inflammation of the soft tissues, which can block the flow of air though the pharynx and vocal cords. Central apnea occurs when there is a lack of respiratory effort. This may result from central nervous system immaturity, or from the effects of medications or illness. Many episodes of apnea of prematurity may start as either obstructive or central, but then involve elements of both, becoming mixed in nature. ref name Martin cite journal author Martin R.J., et al. title Pathophysiologic Mechanisms Underlying Apnea of Prematurity journal NeoReviews year 2002 volume 3 issue 4 pages e59 e65 doi 10.1542 neo.3 4 e59 ref Incidence Apnea of prematurity occurs in at least 85 percent of infants who are born at less than 34 weeks of gestation.

refimprove date November 2009 The term physiological prematurity refers to the fact that compared to most animals, humans are born in a premature biological state. Although sensory organs and skeletal and muscular systems are largely developed prenatally, human babies at the time of their birth are completely helpless and dependent on intensive care. This is in contrast to the maturity at birth found in other higher mammals e.g. elephants, horses . According to the Swiss biologist Adolf Portmann , it is a characteristic feature of humans that due to their preponed birth, many developmental processes do not happen in isolation, but embedded in a sociocultural environment. Due to their complete dependence, humans are particularly amenable for social interactions and their environmental condition, which, according to Portmann, is a precondition for cultural and intellectual learning. de Category Physiology ... more details

Subjected to excessively high blood pressure over prolonged time, the small blood vessels that involve the Human eye eye are damaged, thickening, bulging and leaking. Early signs of retinopathy correlate less well with mortality and morbidity than used to be thought, but signs of accelerated or malignant hypertension indicate severe illness. Symptoms Most patients with hypertensive retinopathy present without visual symptoms, however, some may report decreased Visual perception vision or headache s.

File Fundus Proliferative retinopathy EDA01.JPG thumb An ophthalmoscopic view of the retina showing advanced signs of diabetic retinopathy including two pale cotton wool spots. unreferenced date October 2010 Cotton wool spots are an abnormal finding on fundoscope funduscopic exam of the retina of the eye. They appear as puffy white patches on the retina. They are caused by damage to nerve fibers. The nerve fiber s are damaged by swelling in the surface layer of the retina. The cause of this swelling is due to the reduced axonal transport and hence backlog of intracellular products within the nerves because of the ischaemia. Diabetes and hypertension are the two most common diseases that cause these spots, and the best treatment would be to treat the underlying disease. In diabetes they are one of the hallmarks of diabetic retinopathy pre proliferative retinopathy . More rarely, HIV and pancreatitis Purtscher retinopathy can also lead to the appearance of cotton wool spots.
