Houston Methodist researchers have developed an advanced mathematical model that predicts how novel treatment combinations could significantly extend progression-free survival for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer.
A new way of diagnosing lung cancer with a blood draw is 10 times faster and 14 times more sensitive than earlier methods, according to University of Michigan researchers.
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) today announced $37 million in funding awards through its Health Systems Implementation Initiative (HSII). These awards will support 25 projects implementing PCORI-funded comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) findings in participating HSII health systems.
A study by researchers at WashU Medicine shows that respiratory viruses can hide out in immune cells in the lungs long after the initial symptoms of an infection have resolved, creating a persistently inflammatory environment that promotes the development of chronic lung diseases such as asthma.
The complex shape of respiratory syncytial virus is one hurdle limiting the development of treatments for an infection that leads to hospitalization or worse for hundreds of thousands of people in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New images of the virus from researchers at the University of Wisconsin鈥揗adison may hold the key to preventing or slowing RSV infections.
People with limited-stage small cell lung cancer may benefit from adding immunotherapy to chemoradiation, but not if both treatments are given at the same time, new research finds.
This special edition features advances in radiation therapy approaches presented by MD Anderson researchers at the 2024 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting. Information on all MD Anderson ASTRO Annual Meeting content can be found at MDAnderson.org/ASTRO.
Patient undergoes 5,000th innovative surgery by a multidisciplinary team at UC San Diego Health to remove blood clots from the lung鈥檚 paper-thin arteries.
Researchers at WashU Medicine have received a $12 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to identify the factors that are responsible for long-lasting immunity against disease.
If it鈥檚 autumn, then it must be influenza season, which means it鈥檚 time to consider flu shots for your family.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Academy of Pediatrics, and Infectious Diseases Society of America recommend that everyone approved to receive a flu shot get one鈥攊ncluding children ages 6 months and older.
Over 90 percent of people around the world are exposed to unhealthy air, according to the World Health Organization. In 2019, ambient air pollution was responsible for 4.2 million premature deaths. That鈥檚 roughly the number of people who visit Manhattan on a typical weekday.
Independent of the temperature and humidity carried by the airflow, portable respiratory sensors are capable of continuously detecting respiratory intensity and frequency. Respiratory monitoring assesses physiological status and potential disease, preventing the escalation of adverse health conditions through early detection of recurrent wheezing, sleep apnoea and diabetes-induced kussmaul breathing.
New research by scientists at the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows patients impacted by a wildfire disaster while recovering from lung cancer surgery have a longer in-hospital length of stay (LOS) than similar patients treated at the same facility at times when no disasters happened. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 鈥� 28, 2024.
UAlbany researchers have identified a genetic mechanism that allows antimicrobial resistance to spread among Klebsiella pneumoniae 鈥� the third leading cause of blood infections globally.
For the first time, scientists are able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected not only individual lives but also the world and global systems, both natural and human-made. Besides millions of deaths and environmental challenges, the rapid spread of the infection and its very high socioeconomic impact have affected healthcare, economic status and wealth, and mental health across the globe. To better appreciate the pandemic's influence, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches are needed. In this paper, together with world-leading scientists from different backgrounds we share collectively our views about the pandemic's footprint and discuss challenges that face the international community.
Nadia Hansel, M.D., a pulmonary and critical care physician and expert in the environmental determinants of obstructive lung diseases, has been named director of the Department of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and physician-in-chief of The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Hansel is the William Osler Professor of Medicine. She is the first woman to lead the storied Department of Medicine in its 131-year history.
A pilot study shows that a new wearable lung sensor combined with deep learning can automatically detect wheezes, a common indicator of asthma and COPD
With flu season just around the corner and COVID-19 cases on the rise, a new nationwide survey from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center reveals hesitancy around vaccines this fall. The new data comes just as this year鈥檚 flu shot rolls out and following the FDA鈥檚 approval of an updated round of COVID-19 vaccines.
