Gas cooking has a harmful effect on the lung function of adolescents
Gas cooking has a harmful effect on the lung function of girls who are susceptible to allergies, concludes research in Thorax. Over 700 Italian school children aged 11-13 years were interviewed by a physician and categorised according to how often they were in the kitchen while the mother cooked using a gas stove. Lung function measurements were... view more... (2001-06-14)

An analysis of nearly two dozen studies confirms the association between passive smoke in the workplace and an increased risk of lung cancer. view more (2007-02-01)
Steroid damage to premature babies
Children born very prematurely who are treated with corticosteroids to prevent and treat chronic lung disease, are showing impaired cognitive ability at age seven years compared with those given no such treatment. These are the findings of Trevor Wilson, Dr Chris McCusker and Dr Nichola Rooney of the Royal Hospital, Belfast. They will present... view more... (2004-04-15)
Molecular pathway appears crucial in development of pulmonary fibrosis
A study led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers may have found a key mechanism underlying idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a usually fatal lung disease for which transplantation is the only successful treatment. view more (2007-12-13)
Heart and lung transplants hampered by donor shortages and unchanged death rates
Optimism about the success of heart and lung transplants at the start of the 1990s is not supported by the evidence, shows an audit of the procedure, published in Heart. view more (2002-04-15)
Early occupational exposure can affect lungs later
Occupational exposure to lung irritants early in a young worker's career can result in increased doctor visits for lung problems in later years. view more (2006-05-22)
Triple Risk For Smokers With Faulty Gene
Smokers who inherit a particular genetic trait could triple their chances of getting lung cancer according to a report in the British Journal of Cancer.* While tobacco is the biggest cause of lung cancer. the risk of developing it varies. This has led scientists to believe that genetics may have a crucial role in deciding who is most susceptible... view more... (2002-07-09)
Researchers identify another potential biomarker
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have demonstrated that a recently discovered class of molecule called microRNA (miRNAs), regulate the gene expression changes in airway cells that occur with smoking and lung cancer. view more (2009-01-14)
Researchers develop new method to test for lung cancer
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have developed a new "clinicogenomic model" to accurately test for lung cancer. view more (2008-04-02)
Helmet use associated with reduced risk of head injury for skiers and snowboarders
Alpine skiers and snowboarders who wear a helmet have a reduced risk of head injury, according to a study in the February 22 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-02-22)
Inheritance, Smoking Spawn Mysterious and Deadly Lung Disease
An incurable, deadly lung disorder, "idiopathic interstitial pneumonia" (IIP), whose causes were mysterious arises from a combination of a genetic predisposition and damage due to inhaled chemicals, notably from cigarette smoking. view more (2005-09-28)
Primary graft dysfunction is risk factor for a later serious lung transplant problem
Primary graft dysfunction, a common complication that affects up to 25 percent of lung transplant patients shortly after surgery, constitutes a significant risk factor for later deadly bronchiolotis obliterans syndrome (BOS). view more (2007-03-01)
Government resources urgently needed to reduce childhood injury, say experts
Childhood injury surveillance in the UK is under-resourced and lags behind other European countries, say experts in this week's BMJ, ahead of UK Child Safety Week on 23 June. view more (2008-06-20)
Low tar cigarettes do not cut lung cancer risk
The risk of lung cancer is no different in people who smoke medium tar cigarettes, low tar cigarettes, or very low tar cigarettes, concludes new research from the United States. Researchers analysed the relation between the tar rating of the brand of cigarette smoked in 1982 and death from lung cancer over six years among 364,239 men and 576,535... view more... (2004-01-10)
Statins reduce loss of function, keeping old lungs young - even in smokers
Statins are known to be good for lowering cholesterol and maybe even fighting dementia, and now they have another reported benefit: they appear to slow decline in lung function in the elderly- even in those who smoke. view more (2007-10-12)
Catheter angiography may be an unnecessary follow-up to CT angiography
Even in challenging cases, CT angiography (CTA) offers an accurate and rapid diagnosis for blunt trauma victims who may have aortic or great vessel injury negating the need for more invasive procedures. view more (2007-09-21)
Preventing ventilation induced lung injury depends on giving the right number of 'sighs'
Ventilation therapy burst into the public consciousness more than 60 years ago with the "iron lung" and the polio epidemic. view more (2006-07-25)
Genetic mutation associated with increased risk of lung cancer
Carriers of a common genetic disorder previously linked to lung disease may have a 70-percent to 100-percent increased risk of lung cancer, according to a report in the May 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-05-27)
Kinesiology's rodeo researcher creates international registry for cowboy catastrophic injury
Every other sport has one, except for the sport that may need it the most. This summer, University of Calgary sports epidemiologist Dale Butterwick, a leader in the field of rodeo injury study and treatment, is opening a registry for catastrophic injuries in pro rodeo to get a better idea of how frequently cowboys around the world are seriously... view more...
