Road vehicles may soon be fitted with pop-up bonnets, windscreen airbags and energy absorbing bumpers to improve pedestrian safety, according to researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-05-07)
Air pollution may increase lung cancer risk
Chronic air pollution may increase the risk of lung cancer, suggests a Norwegian study of over 16,000 men in Thorax. Researchers monitored the health of 16, 209 men from 1972 until 1998. The men, all of whom lived in Oslo, were taking part in long term research on risk factors for heart disease and stroke. They were aged between 40 and 49 at the... view more... (2003-12-03)
How to Make a Lung: Cell-Regeneration Molecules Essential Signals for Early Lung Development, Penn Study Finds
A tissue-repair-and-regeneration pathway in the human body, including wound healing, is essential for the early lung to develop properly. view more (2009-08-18)
UNC launches study of liver injury caused by drugs
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is one of five clinical centers nationwide to receive funds from the National Institutes of Health to study why good medications are sometimes bad for the liver. view more (2005-05-27)
Cognitive rehab helps people with acquired brain injury
Cognitive rehabilitation after a serious brain injury or stroke can help the mind in much the same way that physical therapy helps the body, according to a new meta-analysis. view more (2009-01-14)
Mice could provide the key to growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists from Imperial College London have successfully directed mouse stem cells to turn into the type of cells needed for gas exchange in lungs, bringing the prospect of being able to regenerate damaged lung tissue, and even the creation of artificially grown lungs one step closer. Dr Anne Bishop, from Imperial College Tissue Engineering and... view more... (2002-05-15)
Antioxidant protects against lung damage in silicosis
Levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), an antioxidant that protects against reactive oxygen species (damaging oxygen molecules that cause direct tissue injury), become elevated in the lungs of chronic silicosis patients and could represent a new treatment approach for the disease. view more (2006-10-16)
For patients with severe lung injury, less is more
Results from the largest controlled clinical trial of fluid management methods in patients with severe lung injury provide important new information on the risks and benefits of patient care strategies currently used in the intensive care unit. view more (2006-05-22)
Patients' pretreatment quality of life can predict overall lung cancer survival
Research published in the September 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology has found that an individual's quality of life prior to treatment can help predict the overall survival of patients with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). view more (2009-09-03)
Lung transplants in cystic fibrosis patients with life-threatening bacteria sparks debate at ISHLT
During Wednesday's Satellite Symposium 3: The Challenges of Lung Transplantation in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) at the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions, clinicians and researchers discussed some of the unique challenges in achieving excellent lung transplant outcomes in patients with... view more...

Study asks how safe is high school football?
Football, one of the most popular sports in the United States, is also the leading cause of sports-related injuries. view more (2007-08-16)
Gene therapy may protect normal tissues during radiation retreatment for lung cancer
Gene therapy could be used as an agent to protect normal tissues, including the esophagus and lung, from damage during a second administration of radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer. view more (2005-10-17)
Some evidence of gender bias in intensive care
There is some evidence that intensive care is unfair and may be due to gender bias, shows research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The research team analysed over 46,500 admissions to 91 intensive care units across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The data came from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre... view more... (2002-05-13)
CSHL researchers discover three new genes that cause lung cancer
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have discovered three genes that interact with cancerous results in 20% of lung cancers. view more (2007-10-09)
Mobilizing white blood cells to the lung: New discovery could lead to an improved influenza vaccine
Findings just published in the scientific journal Immunity by researchers at the Trudeau Institute shed new light on how a previously-unknown messaging mechanism within the human immune system prompts specific influenza-fighting cells to the lung airways during an infection. view more (2008-07-11)
Is Body Mass Index A Risk Factor For Road Traffic Injuries?
Drivers who are overweight or underweight are at greater risk of suffering an injury in a road accident than people of average size, according to a study of deaths and injuries from motor vehicle accidents in New Zealand. The study appears in the current issue of the International Journal of Epidemiology (IJE), edited in the Department of Social... view more... (2003-04-25)
Alzheimer's gene raises newborns' cerebral palsy risk
Apolipoprotein E (APOE), a gene associated with heightened risk for Alzheimer's disease in adults, can also increase the likelihood that brain-injured newborns will develop cerebral palsy, researchers at Children's Memorial Research Center have discovered. view more (2007-02-05)
Early detection of lung cancer
This study was aimed at the detection of lung cancer in its early stages amongst high-risk persons by means of Computerised Axial Tomography (CAT). view more (2005-04-20)
Genetic parallels found between lung development and lung cancer
For over 100 years, biologists have speculated that cancer growth shares common features with embryonic development. view more (2006-07-05)
Preventing lung scarring may extend lives of lung cancer patients
Researchers have found that using a special type of drug called a pharmaceutical monoclonal antibody to block the integrin beta6-TGF-beta pathway prevents a serious side effect of radiation therapy for lung cancer patients - pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lungs), thereby extending patients' lives and improving their quality of life. view more (2007-10-30)
