Lung cancer survival rates may be linked to access to care
New research suggests that the lower survival rates of blacks with lung cancer may be explained by access to care. view more (2006-02-06)
Risk of surgery for lung cancer lower at teaching hospitals
Patients cared for by hospitals with residents in training have a 17 percent less chance of dying after lung cancer surgery compared with patients undergoing surgery at non-teaching hospitals, according to results of a Johns Hopkins study published in the March issue of the Annals of Thoracic Surgery. view more (2008-03-05)
Researchers find ways to encourage spinal cord regeneration after injury
Animal research is suggesting new ways to aid recovery after spinal cord injury. New studies demonstrate that diet affects recovery rate and show how to make stem cell therapies safer for spinal injury patients. view more (2009-10-21)
UK health service is failing lung cancer patients
Less than 10% of lung cancer patients in the United Kingdom receive effective treatment because of a dire shortage of specialist thoracic surgeons, according to an editorial in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-02-13)
Researchers light up lungs to help diagnose disease
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have developed innovative technology which illuminates a person's lungs and helps clinicians identify if they are functioning correctly. The new technology could result in earlier diagnosis of emphysema and smoking related damage, as well as other lung conditions and diseases. view more (2008-04-29)
Faulty DNA repair could be a risk factor for lung cancer in nonsmokers
People who have never smoked but whose cells cannot efficiently repair environmental insults to DNA are at higher risk of developing lung cancer than those with effective genomic repair capability. view more (2008-06-26)
Fatigue is an important factor in serious road crashes
Fatigue, especially when combined with alcohol, presents a particularly high risk of road crashes resulting in death or serious injury, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Data from the French Ministry of Transport was used to investigate the role of fatigue in serious, single-vehicle crashes during 1994-8. About 10% of the crashes were related to... view more...

Low to moderate blood alcohol level linked to reduced mortality following traumatic head injury
Patients who have low to moderate blood alcohol levels may be less likely to die after arriving at the hospital with a traumatic brain injury than those with no alcohol in their bloodstream, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2006-12-19)
UCLA study helps ER physicians identify previously undetectable spinal injuries
A new national study indicates that patients with a cervical spinal injury (CSI) may harbor additional spinal damage not visible on regular x-rays. view more (2005-09-07)
Glypican-3 gene function in regulating body size helps inform novel cancer treatments
In a leading study that has implications for the development of novel therapies for a number of breast, lung and ovarian cancers that have lost the expression of a gene called glypican-3 (GPC3), Sunnybrook researchers have discovered how the loss of the GPC3 gene induces overgrowth through certain growth factors such as Sonic Hedgehog which... view more...

Modern radiation therapy ups lung cancer survival
Modern three-dimensional radiation therapy has been proven to be more successful at curing lung cancer than older two-dimensional radiation therapy for some patients with early stage lung cancer. view more (2006-09-01)
Medication use linked to farmers' injuries
Older farmers are at high risk for injury when they stop taking prescribed pain medications, shows a study done in part by the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. view more (2006-07-10)
Carbon monoxide protects lung cells against oxygen-induced damage
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have demonstrated that low-dose carbon monoxide administered in conjunction with oxygen therapy markedly inhibits oxygen-induced damage to lung cells. view more (2007-01-19)
Over £4 million in injuries compensation awarded every year to victims of bar brawls
More than £4 million in criminal injuries compensation is awarded every year to victims of bar brawls, with glasses involved in more serious claims than bottles, shows research in Injury Prevention. Despite the increasing adoption of toughened glassware in the UK in licensed premises over the past decade, injuries from glasses and bottles... view more... (2003-03-17)
Scientists discover influenza's Achilles heel: Antioxidants
As the nation copes with a shortage of vaccines for H1N1 influenza, a team of Alabama researchers have raised hopes that they have found an Achilles' heel for all strains of the flu-antioxidants. view more (2009-10-30)
Yale scientists show that a microRNA can reduce lung cancer growth
A small RNA molecule, known as let-7 microRNA (miRNA), substantially reduced cancer growth in multiple mouse models of lung cancer, according to work by researchers at Yale University and Asuragen, Inc., published in the journal Cell Cycle. view more (2008-03-24)
New genetic techniques to combat lung cancer
New results on genetic techniques that are helping doctors diagnose and treat lung cancer were released today at the 1st European Lung Cancer Conference jointly organized by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) in Geneva, Switzerland. view more (2008-04-28)
Blindness from smoking terrifies teens, but few realize the two are linked
