Sleep paralysis may be much more common than previously thought.
The condition in which patients are conscious when they fall asleep and wake up, but cannot move or speak, ranks third after insomnia and sleep apnea in searches for help for sleep problems on Google.
Only 8% of the British population was thought to be affected.
Experts believe this may be due to irregular sleep and stress.
Last year, a number of British sleep experts warned that the pandemic is causing an increase in people with the condition.
A number of sleep experts in the UK have warned that the pandemic has triggered an increase in people suffering from insomnia.
No home care for kidney patients
According to one study, nearly half of cancer patients know nothing and cannot access basic support services such as psychological therapy and free taxis for hospital appointments.
To remedy this, the Richard Dimbleby Cancer Fund, which led the study, has compiled a list of free and easy-to-use cancer support services available at Cancercaremap.org.
Jonathan Dimbleby, head of the fund: “You almost always need support after cancer treatment.”
NHS doctors will use artificial intelligence to detect early signs of colon cancer in a UK study.
More than 2,000 people will undergo colonoscopy during the trial at nine hospitals, and a camera inserted into the intestine will help doctors find precancerous tissue called polyps. However, these images will then be further examined by the advanced computer program to confirm what may have been lost.
Early studies have shown that technology designed by medical device manufacturer Medtronic loses far fewer polyps than the human eye.
Finding polyps is key to preventing the spread of colon cancer, which kills more than 16,000 Brits each year.

According to one report, thousands of Britons with kidney failure are denied the opportunity to receive life-saving care at home.
About 68,000 people suffer from kidney failure, which prevents the body from removing waste products from the blood. In the hospital or at home, they rely on dialysis, a device that cleans the blood for about four hours three times a week.
According to NHS data, only one in 25 patients is offered home dialysis in some parts of the UK compared to a third of patients in other regions. Positions have not been announced.
“Relying on hospital dialysis can prevent people from getting a job, seeing their family, and enjoying life,” says patient advocate Maddy Warren, who wrote the report for medical company Quanta Dialysis.
