November is COPD Awareness Month, a recognition dedicated to raising awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), its impact on individuals and communities & the latest treatment options.
A four-year, $3.4 million grant to investigate molecular mechanisms and therapeutic treatments for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been awarded to UTHealth Houston researchers by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.
Researchers will examine how the body’s adaptations to viruses, fungi and parasites change its ability to combat unrelated respiratory infections.
Read the latest research news on air pollution, nanoplastics, waterborne illnesses and more in the Pollution channel on Newswise.
As Lung Cancer Awareness Month begins in November, experts at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center remain committed to advancing early screening, helping people quit smoking and developing new ways to detect and treat lung cancer.
Researchers in Tokyo developed a device using ions and an electric field to capture infectious droplets and aerosols, allowing communication while preventing airborne infection
School policies that require students with COVID-19 to stay out of the classroom for five days are more than sufficient.
The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), a serious respiratory infection, to form snake-like cords was first noted nearly 80 years ago.
Commonly used to treat acute respiratory infections, the amount being prescribed is on the rise
E-cigarette flavor bans may drive people to smoke cigarettes instead, study finds
The American Thoracic Society is accepting scientific abstracts and case report submissions for presentation at the ATS 2024 International Conference in San Diego, May 17-22. Submissions on all aspects of respiratory disease, critical care medicine and sleep medicine will be considered and are due no later than Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, at 5 p.m. ET.
There is no cure or FDA-approved therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome, which has a high rate of mortality. Inflammation plays a major role in developing ARDS. Researchers at Ohio State University developed therapeutic nanocarriers using mice skin cells, which reduced inflammation in their lungs.
The United States’ respiratory virus season — which typically lasts from October to April — is making its annual return. The flu, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and other respiratory illnesses tend to circulate more in the fall and winter months, which can lead to a surge in hospitalizations.
In a new study published in Cell Chemical Biology, Moffitt Cancer Center researchers demonstrate this, showing that the ROS1 inhibitor lorlatinib has activity against an additional protein called PYK2. The team also reveals the mechanisms of this inhibition.
Patients with long COVID – the long-term symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, or memory loss in the months or years following COVID-19 – can exhibit a reduction in circulating levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, according to new research published today in Cell.
As the seasons transition from warm fall nights to cool and wintry evenings, children with asthma often experience a rise in wheezing or chest tightness, because weather changes and cold temperatures are often asthma triggers.
A new study found that an alternative model to identify patients with lung cancer eligible for screening was more accurate than the currently used method based on the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) criteria.
Inhaled nitric oxide gas widens blood vessels in the lungs and is used to treat severe cardio-pulmonary conditions in newborns and adults.
A new study from Queen Mary University of London, published in The Lancet’s EClinicalMedicine, has found that people may experience long-term symptoms —or ‘long colds’—after acute respiratory infections that test negative for COVID-19.
