Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are in their final years of survival do not get the same benefits from pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) as patients who have more years left to live-regardless of their age, complicating illnesses or lung function. view more (2008-05-20)
Bacteria in disguise cause problems for cystic fibrosis sufferers
Bacteria that cause infections in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients avoid detection by changing their appearance according to Cardiff University researchers speaking today, Thursday 13 September 2001, at the bi-annual meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. "Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which... view more... (2001-08-31)
To protect against liver disease, body puts cells 'under arrest'

Nanoemulsion potent against superbugs killing cystic fibrosis patients
University of Michigan scientists report highly encouraging evidence that a super-fine oil-and-water emulsion, already shown to kill many other microbes, may be able to quell the ravaging, often drug-resistant infections that cause nearly all cystic fibrosis deaths. view more (2009-02-05)
