thedailymirror--2020-01-10--Your snoring could be caused by having a fat tongue - but losing weight can fix it

It 's an issue that causes arguments among many couples , but now scientists have shed light on one of the key causes of snoring .
Researchers from Pennsylvania University suggest that loud snoring can be caused by having a fat tongue .
Scientists have long known that losing weight can help the condition , but now they know why .
It explains why losing weight reduces the risk of obstructive sleep apnoea ( OSA ) .
Improved symptoms are linked to slimming down the unexpected part of the body - opening the door to better treatments .
Professor Richard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pennsylvania University , said : `` Most clinicians , and even experts in the sleep apnoea world , have not typically focused on fat in the tongue for treating sleep apnoea . ''
Having a large neck was previously believed to be the culprit .

Analysing MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans of the throat and nose of obese patients, the researchers found reducing tongue fat is the key.

They found that a reduction in tongue fat volume was the key factor. Weight loss also resulted in a smaller pterygoid - the jaw muscle that controls chewing.
Muscles on the sides of the airway - known as the pharyngeal lateral wall - were also reduced
Both these changes also relieved symptoms - but not to the same extent as the reduction in tongue fat.

Patients with big tongues who are not obese could be less likely to be diagnosed.
Five years ago they compared obese patients with and without sleep apnoea and found those with the condition had significantly larger and fattier tongues.
The latest findings have shed fresh light on the phenomenon - with all patients who suffer from snoring or sleepiness requiring screening for sleep apnoea.

thedailymirror--2020-01-11--Thousands of cheap homes lost as builders use loophole to escape planning rules

As many as 13,500 affordable homes have been lost across England in the past four years , thanks to a loophole in planning rules .
Under normal circumstances , builders are required to offer some affordable options when putting together a more expensive development , but people switching offices into flats can escape this .
And a lot of offices have been converted into flats .
According to the Local Government Association , there have been 54,162 new homes in England converted from offices since 2015 using the permitted development rules .
Under normal rules , that would have meant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ built as well .
But use of the loophole , means there has been no requirement to build them .
LGA housing spokesman David Renard said : `` Serious concerns remain over the high numbers of homes which continue to be converted from offices without planning permission .
`` Permitted development rules are resulting in the alarming potential loss of thousands of desperately needed affordable homes . ''
Last year ( 2018/19 ) , more than half of all new homes in Harlow were office conversions , with 48 % in Norwich and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LGA said .
More than a third of new housing in Spelthorne and Slough was also converted from offices , it claimed .
And it 's not just affordable homes being lost , as using this loophole also means developers do n't need to ensure supporting infrastructure such as roads , schools and health services are in place .
`` Planning is not a barrier to house building , with councils approving nine in 10 planning applications , '' Renard said .
`` It is vital that councils and local communities have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to oversee all local developments .
`` By scrapping permitted development rules , the Government can give councils and local communities the ability to shape the area they live in and ensure homes are built to high standards with the necessary infrastructure in place . ''
A Ministry of Housing , Communities and Local Government spokeswoman said : `` Since 2010 we have delivered over 464,000 new affordable homes , and we have abolished the council borrowing cap so they can build even more social housing .
`` We are committed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end of this parliament , and permitted development rights are playing an important part in making our ambitious commitment a reality . ''
Polly Neate , chief executive of housing charity Shelter , said : `` We 're seeing families forced to live in grim rabbit hutch homes in remote industrial parks , and in some cases with no windows .
This is clearly not the solution to our worsening housing emergency .
`` Instead of allowing deregulated planning to keep producing unfit and unsuitable housing , we want to see this Government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and sustainable social homes .
`` This is what local communities across England want , and what they desperately need . ''

When you're building expensive homes, planning rules force developers to make some affordble ones for people to buy or rent too - but companies have found a loophole

And it's not just affordable homes being lost, as using this loophole also means developers don't need to ensure supporting infrastructure such as roads, schools and health services are in place.

thedailymirror--2020-01-11--DWP: 1,700 people 'die waiting' for reforms to benefit rules for terminally ill

Around 1,700 people have died waiting for reforms to ‘ cruel ’ benefit rules , charities warn .
Today marks six months since welfare chief Amber Rudd announced a review of the Special Rules for Terminal Illness .
Yet it is still ongoing , Ms Rudd has since quit her job and seat - and government work was held up by the election .
Now Marie Curie and the Motor Neurone Disease Association say 1,700 people have died waiting for a decision on Personal Independence Payments ( PIP ) since the reforms were pledged in July .
The estimate is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pensions figures which show 17,070 people died waiting for a PIP decision in five years .
People currently have a benefit claim fast-tracked if a GP agrees they are likely to die within six months .
But charities say the rule is arbitrary , unworkable and “ insensitive ” .
Downton Abbey actor Jim Carter , an ambassador for Marie Curie , said : “ People are being forced to prove that they have six months left to live or face long delays in getting access to benefits .
`` When they do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , even though they are dying.
” MND Association chief executive Sally Light said the review `` gave us some optimism '' but `` six months on , we are no further forward .
`` People are still dying without the financial support they need and are entitled to .
We need the Government to act on its promise now . ''
Ms Rudd announced the review two months before she quit the DWP , highlighting the pain of losing ex-husband AA Gill to cancer .
But at the time the Mirror understood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no formal terms of reference and no separate budget .
The DWP last night insisted it has already made `` positive changes '' , including a dedicated web page , and will be carrying out more research with claimants over the coming months .
A DWP spokesman said : `` This evaluation of support for people nearing the end of life is an absolute priority for us .
“ This vital work is well under way and we are working closely with medical professionals and charities like MND Association and Marie Curie .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ actively gathering all the relevant medical evidence needed to shape the proposals.
” Jo Lynton , 60 , was able to get PIP for dying husband Mark swiftly after obtaining the 'six-month ' form .
But she warned others can not get the `` magic piece of paper '' adding : `` The six-month rule definitely has to stop because it is unfair and unjust . ''
And Mrs Lynton said when they applied for Universal Credit she and Mark ran into delays - trying for 15 weeks before they became ineligible when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consultant Mark , 54 , from Bromsgrove , died from MND in July after a 22-week illness .
Mrs Lynton , who was his full-time carer , said : “ Claiming benefits was horrendous .
We were on hold for 50-60 minutes .
`` I couldn ’ t be on hold for 50 or 60 minutes because my husband could choke on his own saliva .
`` What was I supposed to do ?

`` We still had a mortgage and all the bills to pay .
It was so difficult .
We were lucky we had a little bit of savings but other people have nothing .
