Study suggests preseason shoulder strength may determine injury severity for baseball pitchers
Athletic injuries can derail any player's ability to compete, but for a baseball pitcher his shoulder strength and control is critical. view more (2009-07-10)
Shoulder injuries in US high school athletes occur more often in boys
Although shoulder injuries accounted for just 8 percent of all injuries sustained by high school athletes, shoulder injuries were relatively common in predominately male sports such as baseball (18 percent of all injuries), wrestling (18 percent) and football (12 percent). Moreover, boys experienced higher shoulder injury rates than girls,... view more... (2009-01-26)
EPA-led group finds same protein that attracts nutrient iron protects lung from particles
Multi-vitamin products, nutritional supplements and parents tout the need for such mineral elements as calcium, zinc, phosphorus, iron and others. view more (2005-10-05)
CHEST, HEART AND STROKE SCOTLAND FUND CORONARY BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY RESEARCH
Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland have awarded a grant of £28,865 to support the work, which will look at the part played by angioplasty balloon pressure in the sudden closure of blood vessels. Subsequent problems for the patient can include heart attack and/or emergency coronary bypass surgery. Says Dr Nick Palmer, Clinical Research Fellow... view more... (1999-01-22)
Analysis shows combining sorafenib with carboplatin/paclitaxel adds no benefit in lung cancer
A clinical trial evaluating the benefit of adding the drug sorafenib to the combination of carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy for lung cancer patients has been stopped based on results from an interim analysis, after an independent data monitoring committee concluded that the study would not meet its primary endpoint of improved overall survival. view more (2008-04-28)
Test for lung cancer looks for discomforting quiet among protective genes
When it is quiet - "almost too quiet" - in movies, it is a sign that something is about to go wrong for the good guys. view more (2007-09-19)
Compounds found in cruciferous vegetables block lung cancer progression
A family of compounds found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and watercress, blocked lung cancer progression in both animal studies and in tests with human lung cancer cells. view more (2005-09-15)
Tumor response may not be best measure of efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer treatment
Researchers typically evaluate the effectiveness of a new cancer treatment by looking at how tumors respond to it. But in the case of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, there may be a better way to assess effectiveness. view more (2006-06-06)
Scientists make first step towards growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists have successfully converted human embryonic stem cells into lung cells, taking a first step towards building human lungs for transplantation. view more (2005-08-23)
Stricter control of air guns needed
The time has come for much stricter control of air guns, urges an editorial in Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-03-21)
Researchers find clear difference in quality, type of lung cancer info available in US and Japan
A study published in the July 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology revealed that internet-based lung cancer information was of a higher quality in the United States (US) than in Japan. view more (2009-07-01)
Football injuries in US high school athletes more severe during kickoff, punting
Injuries can occur during a sporting competition at any time. However, new research finds that during football, injuries sustained at the beginning or middle of a game are more severe compared to injuries sustained during the end or in overtime. view more (2009-08-13)
Tumor size related to lung cancer spread
Smaller tumors in the lungs appear to be less likely to have spread than larger tumors among patients with asymptomatic lung cancer, suggesting that early screening may be useful in detecting cancers that are still curable. view more (2006-02-14)
Imperial Scientist In World's Top 50 List
A UK asthma researcher has been named as a 'citation superstar', becoming one of the world's most cited researchers over the last 20 years. Professor Peter Barnes, from the National Heart and Lung Institute, a Division of the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London and based at the Royal Brompton Hospital has been listed as number forty in... view more...

Scientists show gene mutation may cause immature lungs in newborns
Scientists have identified a gene critical to lung maturation in newborns and the production of surfactant, which lines lung tissues and prevents the lungs from collapsing. view more (2008-11-25)
Study establishes safety of spinal cord stem cell transplantation
Transplanting human embryonic stem cells does not cause harm and can be used as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury. view more (2006-07-20)
Defects in critical gene lead to accelerated lung tumor growth
Cancer causing mutations occur in our bodies every day - but luckily, we have specific genes that recognize these malignant events and keep cells from growing out of control. Only a few of these genes - called tumor suppressors - are currently known. view more (2007-08-06)
Deficiency in the protein MBL2 linked to increased cystic fibrosis severity
Cystic fibrosis (CF), a hereditary disorder causing thick mucous production and frequent lung infections, is associated with a high mortality rate primarily due to lung failure. view more (2008-02-22)
