		Asphyxia was born in August 2005, after some industrial/electronical tests on a music software.
		Throught this personal project I just put down my feelings, and Asphyxia is first made in order to evacuate sadness and hate, or other feeling I could have had since I started.
		Asphyxia music can be said as Electro-dark or Industrial, even if I try my best not to be a stereotype.

	Asphyxia
		Asphyxia can literally be translated from the Greek as meaning 'absence of pulse', but is usually the term given to deaths due to 'anoxia' or 'hypoxia'.
		Postural asphyxia is a related condition, recently coming to the fore due to interest in deaths in police custardy etc, and may involve splinting of the diaphragm during restraint, coupled with the additional requirements for oxygen during a struggle.
		When oxygen is not able to reach the lungs because of external occlusion of the mouth and/ or nose, or the airway at the level of the larynx is obstructed (eg by a bolus of food), the cause of the asphyxial death is 'obstruction of the airways'.

	Asphyxia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Asphyxia (from Greek a-, "without" and sphuxis, "pulse, heartbeat") is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally.
		Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs most sensitive to hypoxia first, such as the brain, hence resulting in cerebral hypoxia.
		Asphyxia is usually characterized by air hunger but this is not always the case; the urge to breathe is triggered by rising carbon dioxide levels in the blood rather than diminishing oxygen levels.

	Asphyxia, oxygen shortage and the causes of Cerebral Palsy: Origins, Etiology, Aetiology, Causal Pathways
		"Before accepting a diagnosis of birth asphyxia, evidence is required of the presence of (1) hypoxia; followed by (2) decompensatory fetal response(s) indicating that the severity of hypoxia had exceeded the adaptive capacity of the fetus; (3) neonatal encephalopathy; and (4) a probable causal link between the encephalopathy and the hypoxia.
		Asphyxia, insufficient oxygen to the brain, is a factor in cerebral palsy, but it is difficult to assess its role.
		The asphyxia, however, is often considered the symptom of an otherwise sick baby with a neurological problem, not the primary cause of CP.

		Asphyxia neonatorum is respiratory failure in the newborn, a condition caused by the inadequate intake of oxygen before, during, or just after birth.
		Asphyxia neonatorum, also called birth or newborn asphyxia, is defined as a failure to start regular respiration within a minute of birth.
		Asphyxia neonatorum is a neonatal emergency as it may lead to hypoxia (lowering of oxygen supply to the brain and tissues) and possible brain damage or death if not correctly managed.

		Asphyxia can also lead to seizures, especially if the baby requires intubation and has a low Apgar score five minutes after birth, and if the blood from the cutting of the umbilical cord has a high acid content.
		If asphyxia occurs outside the hospital, a finger should be used to clear any mucus from the baby's throat and gentle mouth-to-mouth resuscitation should be performed.
		Today an infant's risk of asphyxia is lower than in the past due to improved prenatal care and awareness of the harmful effects of smoking during pregnancy.

	Positional asphyxia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Positional asphyxia, also known as postural asphyxia, is a form of asphyxia which occurs when someone's position prevents them from breathing adequately.
		Positional asphyxia may be a factor in some of these deaths.
		People may die from positional asphyxia by simply getting themselves into a breathing-restricted position they cannot get out of, either through carelessness or as a consequence of another accident.

	Excited Delirium, Restraint Asphyxia, Positional Asphyxia and 'In-Custody Death" Syndromes
		Positional asphyxia is a term used to describe the placement of a body in a position that interferes with the ability to breath.
		In a case of restraint asphyxia, the cause of death is usually a combination of exhaustion, exertion, fear and restricted breathing due to restraint or the use of force.
		The cause of death in positional asphyxia may involve restraint but is more likely associated with leaving an exhausted, drug affected and unconscious person in a position that results in asphyxia.

		Asphyxia, often referred to as suffocation, usually results from an interruption of breathing due to mechanical blockage of the breathing passages, paralysis of the respiratory muscles following electric shock, inundation of the lungs as may occur with pneumonia or drowning, or substitution of carbon monoxide for oxygen in the red blood cells.
		Symptoms of asphyxia vary but may include light-headedness, nausea, and gasping, followed by unconsciousness and death.
		Artificial respiration is the most practical first-aid procedure for asphyxia.

	Viewpoint on the Brain Disorder in Autism
		Asphyxia had to be of seven to eight minutes duration before visible damage of the inferior colliculi was seen.
		Rapin (1997) suggested that inability to distinguish syllable and word boundaries in rapid streams of speech may be the basis of the language disorder in some children with autism; she referred to this as "verbal auditory agnosia" [146].
		Asphyxia had to be of seven to eight minutes duration before visible damage was seen, and Faro and Windle (1969) found progressive neuropathologic changes in monkeys kept alive for months or years following asphyxia at birth, even in monkeys without the characteristic lesions of the inferior colliculi [30].

	Historical Review and Recent Advances - Chapter 11
		Eastman of Hopkins called asphyxia "an infelicity of etymology" since the Greek derivation of asphyxia meant "without pulse." A second problem seems to be that, within each specialty studying asphyxia, once a definition is established, the exceptions are enormous.
		Eastman defined asphyxia as "an inability of the child to breathe and apnea associated with oxygen deficiency during labor." It was this very issue, the initiation of respiration at birth, that stimulated Dr. Eastman's original contributions.
		In the 1930's, there was considerable suspicion which indicated that part of the narcosis associated with the administration of anesthetic agents was the hypoxia associated with their use, and that the hypoxia was as responsible for the central nervous system depression as was the agent itself.

		The term positional asphyxia has recently been used to describe the sudden deaths of arrestees that occurred while they were held in restraint by law enforcement personnel.
		The use of the terms "positional asphyxia" and "restraint asphyxia" as a cause-of-death infers that when a person dies while placed in restraints by law enforcement personnel their agencies hold some responsibility for the deaths.
		Therefore, the use of the phrase "positional asphyxia" should be discontinued until further physlological evidence is presented to support this theory.
