Biomarkers identified for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
The first evidence of a distinctive protein signature that could help to transform the diagnosis and improve the monitoring of the devastating lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is being reported by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers in this month's edition of PLoS Medicine, an open-access journal of the Public... view more...

New nanotoxicology study delivers promising results
Findings by a team of researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee bode well for using single-walled carbon nanohorns, a particular form of engineered carbon-based nanoparticles, for drug delivery and other commercial applications. view more (2007-08-20)
ESC Congress 2004: A Worldwide Survey on the Methods, Efficacy and Safety of Catheter Ablation for Human Atrial Fibrillation
Introduction. After its introduction in 1994, CA of AF has shown curative potential and according to the literature, one every four patients with AF could represent a candidate for this therapy in clinical practice. view more (2004-08-29)
Computers pass dosage test for thrombosis drugs
The largest ever study into the administration of blood thinning drugs like Warfarin has concluded that dosages calculated by computer are at least as safe and reliable as those provided by trained medical professionals. view more (2007-07-20)
Researchers at Pulmonary Associates to study airway bypass procedure for severe emphysema
Researchers at Pulmonary Associates today announced the start of the EASE (Exhale Airway Stents for Emphysema) Trial, an international, multi-center clinical trial to explore an investigational treatment that may offer a new, minimally invasive option for those suffering with advanced widespread emphysema. view more (2008-02-12)
A step toward tissue-engineered heart structures for children
Infants and children receiving artificial heart-valve replacements face several repeat operations as they grow, since the replacements become too small and must be traded for bigger ones. Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have now developed a solution: living, growing valves created in the lab from a patient's own cells. view more (2007-09-13)
New Non-Invasive Method In Lung Diagnostics
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a non-invasive diagnostic method has been evolving into an attractive alternative to methods which are associated with radiation exposure. This development now also starts to manifest itself in lung perfusion imaging. This was reported by Dr. Christian Fink and colleagues of the Radiology Division of the... view more... (2004-06-24)
Scleroderma Outlook Improves as Survival Increases
Individuals with scleroderma are living significantly longer today, compared with 30 years ago, and the physicians who treat this rare disease of connective tissue hope the newer drugs now on the market may extend lives even further. view more (2007-07-13)
New clinical guidelines for exacerbations in cystic fibrosis
The American Thoracic Society has released new clinical guidelines for the treatment of exacerbations in cystic fibrosis based on a review of the literature on current clinical practices. view more (2009-10-23)
Advanced genomics and proteomics improve the diagnosis and treatment of a deadly lung disease
In an article in the Jan. 15 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh researchers report that a serious, life-threatening form of pulmonary fibrosis, called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lacks all the hallmarks of inflammation and is probably unnecessarily treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. view more (2006-01-12)
New vaccine protects more effectively against tuberculosis
Globally, tuberculosis remains the number one killer in adults. Moreover, multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis strains are on the rise which cannot be treated by first-line drugs. view more (2005-08-29)
The smoking gun: Elastin fragments drive emphysema
Pulmonary emphysema is caused primarily by cigarette smoking, and the underlying cellular mechanisms are thought to involve smoke-induced activation of tissue degrading enzymes known as proteases. view more (2006-02-10)
Computers as safe as medical experts for prescribing blood thinning drugs
The largest ever study into the administration of blood thinning drugs, principally Warfarin, has concluded that dosages calculated by computer are at least as safe and reliable as those provided by expert medical professionals. view more (2008-06-19)
ESC reaffirms advice on cardiovascular risks associated with long-haul flights
Dr Steen Kristensen, Vice-president of the ESC, says: "Long distance flying is associated with an increase in deep venous thrombosis, which in some cases may lead to clotting of the lungs. People who are immobile, pregnant, taking contraceptive pills or have had venous thrombosis in the past are particularly at risk. view more (2009-02-25)
Obesity associated with a lower risk of tuberculosis in older Chinese population
Obese or overweight Chinese individuals age 65 and older have a lower risk of developing tuberculosis than those at a normal weight. view more (2007-06-26)
Chemical in many air fresheners may reduce lung function
New research shows that a chemical compound found in many air fresheners, toilet bowl cleaners, mothballs and other deodorizing products, may be harmful to the lungs. view more (2006-07-27)
New Technique Detects Deep Vein Thrombosis
Radiologists in Nottingham have discovered a fast and accurate technique to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may be particularly helpful to pregnant women and travellers at risk of developing dangerous blood clots. view more (2002-01-14)
Low-intensity case management cuts COPD-related hospital visits in half
A new study has found that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are at high risk for hospitalization or emergency room visits from exacerbations or complications benefit from simple low-intensity case management. view more (2008-05-21)
Computer game helps COPD patients breathe better
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may gain better control over their breathing and breathe more efficiently by using their breath to play a computer game, according to new research. view more (2008-04-15)
Pulmonary hypertension in children may result from reduced activity of gene regulator
Too little activity by gene regulators called PPARs appears to be a major player in the irreversible lung damage that can occur in children with heart defects, researchers say. view more (2009-03-06)
