An observational study of more than 1,000 patients at the Yale Center for Sleep Medicine found that obstructive sleep apnea significantly increases the risk of stroke or death from any cause, and that the risk is linked to sleep apnea severity. view more (2005-11-10)
Gene expression patterns predict rapid decline in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease typically characterized by the slow but progressive onset of shortness of breath or cough. view more (2007-05-31)
Different treatment options in chronic coronary artery disease
Sometimes cardiologists and cardiac surgeons can agree! There is often disagreement between the professions of cardiology and cardiac surgery about the proper therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD)-and this can harm the patient. view more (2009-04-28)
Marijuana smoking increases risk of COPD for tobacco smokers
Smoking both tobacco and marijuana increases the risk of respiratory symptoms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking only marijuana, however, was not associated with increased risks. view more (2009-04-14)
Women with COPD can fare worse than men
Women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) fare worse than men both in terms of the severity of their disease and their quality of life. view more (2006-05-22)
Radiologists encouraged to look beyond cancer for clinically unseen diseases
Radiologists can diagnose venous thromboembolic disease (VTED) in cancer patients earlier by looking more carefully at CT scans of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis which are regularly done to determine the extent or stage of the cancer. view more (2007-08-15)
RSV may hide in the lungs, lead to asthma, UT Southwestern researchers report
Conventional wisdom has been that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) - a common virus that causes infection in the lungs - comes and goes in children without any long lasting impact. view more (2008-10-22)
Study finds nontuberculous mycobacteria lung disease on the rise in the United States
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental organisms found in both water and soil that can cause severe pulmonary (lung) disease in humans. Pulmonary NTM is on the rise in the United States, according to a large study of people hospitalized with the condition. view more (2009-09-25)
Extra-aggressive form of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis identified
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive lung disorder from which most patients die within 5 years after diagnosis. The disease is characterized by the insidious onset of dyspnea or cough and usually evolves slowly. view more (2007-05-30)
Inhaler devices for the management of asthma and COPD
The latest issue of Effective Health Care focuses on the effectiveness of inhaler devices used to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Inhaled therapy delivering bronchodilator and corticosteroid drugs in various doses is the mainstay of treatment for patients with asthma and COPD. There is a confusing array of inhaler... view more... (2003-01-14)
Research provides promising evidence of new drug therapies in lethal lung disease
Several promising new treatments may prolong lives as well as improve the quality of life for people living with pulmonary arterial hypertension. view more (2006-04-07)
Body's Defenses May Worsen Chronic Lung Diseases in Smokers
Although the immune system is designed to protect the body from harm, it may actually worsen one of the most difficult-to-treat respiratory diseases: chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), according to new University of Cincinnati (UC) research. view more (2009-02-10)
Chronic Disease Sufferers To Benefit From New 'At Home' Diagnostic Device
People who suffer from chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma and heart problems should benefit from a new remote, home care monitoring system that could also bring an end to overcrowded waiting rooms. With project partners in Estonia, Latvia and the UK facing research costs of over EUR2 million, the development of... view more... (2004-07-21)
Top notch decisions in the developing airways bring insights into lung disease
In the normal lung, the airways are lined by a balanced mixture of ciliated, secretory and neuroendocrine cells which perform functions as diverse as air humidification, detoxification, and clearance of environmental particles. view more (2009-06-09)
Breathing Support Reduces Blood Pressure For People With Sleep Apnoea (p 204)
A reduction in blood pressure-and in the probable risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease-could be possible for patients treated with nocturnal breathing support for sleep apnoea, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Obstructive sleep apnoea is a serious condition in which airflow from the nose and mouth to the... view more... (2002-01-17)
Low-intensity case management cuts COPD-related hospital visits in half
A new study has found that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are at high risk for hospitalization or emergency room visits from exacerbations or complications benefit from simple low-intensity case management. view more (2008-05-21)
