Anti-cancer drug shows early promise in pulmonary hypertension
A drug used to treat kidney cancer can prevent the development of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) in rodents. view more (2006-11-15)
Educating Physicians About Ventilation-Perfusion Scanning Leads to Reduced Patient Radiation Exposure
Educating physicians about ventilation-perfusion scanning (VQ) as an alternative to CT for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolisms led to a 23% decrease in patient exposure. view more (2009-04-24)
Penn pairs chronically ill patients with medical students to create better doctor
Doctors-in-training - like Christopher Guerry, a second-year medical student at Penn - are learning what it's like to live with cystic fibrosis (CF), and many other chronic health conditions. They're shadowing patients with chronic conditions such as HIV, asthma and kidney failure. view more (2006-03-06)
Women with cystic fibrosis can have safe and successful fertility treatment
Women with cystic fibrosis can have fertility treatment to help them have babies without any long-term adverse effects on either themselves or their children. view more (2009-06-30)
Mutation responsible for cystic fibrosis also involved in muscle atrophy
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) usually experience significant muscle loss, a symptom traditionally considered to be a secondary complication of the devastating genetic disease. view more (2009-07-31)
Newly discovered proteins associated with cystic fibrosis
Researchers have found a highly unusual distribution of two proteins in the lungs and airways of people with cystic fibrosis, a discovery that could be a step in determining how the disease progresses. view more (2006-11-03)
World first test potential to identify breast cancer patients who will react badly to radiotherapy
Medical scientists at the University of Leicester have announced a potentially unique advance in breast cancer research by identifying two genes associated with adverse reaction to cancer treatment. view more (2007-04-19)
UC research discovers new way to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Research by a team at the University of Cincinnati (UC) has helped in the discovery of a new way to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria, responsible for preventing treatment of lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis and life-threatening cases of pneumonia. view more (2007-03-19)
Once-daily cystic fibrosis drug offers simpler home treatment and fewer side effects for children, study shows
Nottingham researchers have found a way to treat children with cystic fibrosis (CF), which could reduce their side effects and see more young patients treated at home. view more (2005-02-09)
UT Southwestern researchers identify gene linked to inherited form of fatal lung disease
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that a mutation in a gene known for its role in defending the lungs against invading pathogens is responsible for some inherited cases of a lethal lung disease affecting older adults. The same mutation may also be associated with lung cancer, the researchers said. view more (2008-12-22)
New guidelines help clinicians assess risk of post-surgical pulmonary complications
Pulmonary complications, including pneumonia and respiratory failure, are a common - and dangerous - problem for patients following major surgery. view more (2006-04-19)
Proteins may predict lung transplant rejection
Using the latest in high tech tools, researchers have identified three proteins that were highly predictive of chronic lung rejection up to 20 months before the rejection occurred. view more (2006-11-03)
Afib triggered by a cell that resembles a pigment-producing skin cell
The source and mechanisms underlying the abnormal heart beats that initiate atrial fibrillation (Afib), the most common type of abnormal heart beat, have not been well determined. view more (2009-10-13)
Researchers develop gene therapy to reverse pulmonary arterial hypertension
A University of Alberta research team has discovered important new information they hope will lead to more effective treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-a deadly form of high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries caused by uncontrolled cell growth. view more (2005-06-03)
New Emergency Drug for Cardiac Arrest
Vasopressin as an agent for cardio-pulmonary resuscitation Diseases of the cardiovascular system continue to be the most frequent causes of death in the Western world. For over 100 years, Adrenaline has been the standard drug of choice in the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest. A team of researchers headed by Karl H. Lindner and Volker Wenzel... view more...

COPD patients benefit more from pulmonary rehab in earlier stages
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are in their final years of survival do not get the same benefits from pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) as patients who have more years left to live-regardless of their age, complicating illnesses or lung function. view more (2008-05-20)
Bacteria in disguise cause problems for cystic fibrosis sufferers
Bacteria that cause infections in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients avoid detection by changing their appearance according to Cardiff University researchers speaking today, Thursday 13 September 2001, at the bi-annual meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. "Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which... view more... (2001-08-31)
To protect against liver disease, body puts cells 'under arrest'
A stable form of cell-cycle arrest known to offer potent protection against cancer also limits liver fibrosis, a condition characterized by an excess of fibrous tissue, according to a new report in the August 22nd Cell, a Cell Press publication. view more (2008-08-22)
Pulmonary hypertension discriminates by race, gender
African-American women have the highest mortality rate for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), according to new research. view more (2006-10-25)
Gene with probable role in human susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis identified
A new gene that may confer susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis has been identified by Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) researchers and their collaborators in The Netherlands, Indonesia, United Kingdom, and the Russian Federation. view more (2008-10-09)
