Tracking Cystic Fibrosis with Mice: DFG fellow develops an animal model for the disease
Cystic fibrosis, also known as mucoviscidosis, is one of the most common genetic diseases with a fatal outcome in western Europe. The disease is caused by a defective gene that affects the salt and fluid composition of respiratory tract secretions. As a result, they become highly viscous. The viscous mucous then clumps in the smaller lung... view more... (2004-04-26)
World's largest respiratory health study launches next phase
The Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study (TAHS), the world's largest and longest running respiratory health research study, is launching a new research phase focussing on the 21,000 brothers and sisters of the original sample. view more (2007-08-07)
Higher nitric oxide levels increase survival in ALI/ARDS trial
In a large-scale, multi-center trial of patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), researchers showed that higher levels of nitric oxide (NO) in patient urine were strongly associated with improved survival, more ventilator-free days, and decreased rates of organ failure. view more (2007-02-01)
Sars Could Have Less Serious Effects On Young Children
Early online publication: Tuesday 29 April 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Preliminary findings from Hong Kong investigators fast-tracked for publication on THE LANCET's website-www.thelancet.com - outline how severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) may have a less serious effect on young children compared with teenagers and adults. There have been... view more... (2003-04-28)

GPs are unnecessarily giving patients antibiotics for respiratory tract (RT) infections which would clear up on their own. view more (2007-09-20)
Towards the mechanism of cell respiration
Researchers at the Institute of Biotechnology of the University of Helsinki have for the first time identified an internal electron transfer reaction that initiates the proton pump mechanism of the respiratory enzyme. view more (2006-04-06)
Healthy pre-term infants show reduced lung function
Tests of healthy preterm infants younger than 12 weeks of age show prematurity to be independently associated with reduced lung function. view more (2006-02-15)

Scientists have discovered how dinosaurs used to breathe in what provides clues to how they evolved and how they might have lived. view more (2007-11-07)
The bowels of infection
Current research suggests that latent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The related report by Onyeagocha et al, "Latent cytomegalovirus infection exacerbates experimental colitis," appears in the November 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2009-10-21)
Antibiotic not sufficient for serious eye infection in communities with high disease prevalence
Treating trachoma, an eye infection that can lead to blindness, with a single mass antibiotic distribution in Ethiopian communities with high prevalence of infection is not effective in eliminating the disease. view more (2006-03-08)
Protein from algae shows promise for stopping SARS
A protein from algae may have what it takes to stop Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) infections, according to new research. view more (2009-05-21)
Sodium channel blocker shows promise as a potential treatment for cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis patients may benefit from a new therapy that increases airway hydration, preventing the buildup of mucous, which is a key factor in the disease, according to researchers at Parion Sciences in Durham, N.C. view more (2009-05-18)
Viral protein is an effective preventative against infection
For parents, 8 million cases of acute middle ear infections every year add up to a lot of sleepless nights and trips to the pediatrician. But new research from a collaboration between Rockefeller University and St. Jude Children's Hospital could change all that. view more (2007-03-23)
Study finds link between birth order and asthma symptoms
Among four year-olds attending Head Start programs in New York City, those who had older siblings were more likely to experience respiratory symptoms including an episode of wheezing in the past year than those who were oldest or only children. view more (2008-05-09)
Surgical masks and N95 respirators provide similar protection against influenza
A McMaster University study has found that surgical masks appear to be as good as N95 respirators in protecting health-care workers against influenza. view more (2009-10-02)

Researchers to test if cannabis ingredient can help COPD patients
Researchers from Imperial College London are looking for volunteers to test whether cannabinoids, the active ingredient of cannabis, can be used to alleviate the sensation of breathlessness caused by illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). view more (2005-09-06)
Marijuana smoking increases risk of COPD for tobacco smokers
Smoking both tobacco and marijuana increases the risk of respiratory symptoms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking only marijuana, however, was not associated with increased risks. view more (2009-04-14)
Study uncovers a lethal secret of 1918 influenza virus
In a study of non-human primates infected with the influenza virus that killed 50 million people in 1918, an international team of scientists has found a critical clue to how the virus killed so quickly and efficiently. view more (2007-01-18)
