An imaging process that today is used mainly in research labs could potentially detect early-stage lung disease if developed for use in hospitals and clinics, a new research study shows. Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm tested…
“Breathe Sweden”, a digital platform for researchers who collect studies on diseases and disorders of the respiratory tract, has now been launched. The initiative enhances scope for Nordic collaboration in large population studies. In 2022 the platform “Andas Sverige” was…
Aston University scientists are working with start-up company, Isterian Biotech, part of Cambrian BioPharma, to develop novel drugs to treat fibrotic diseases such as lung disease. The focus of preclinical-stage biotechnology company Isterian Biotech is on developing novel drugs to…
Scientists detected deep divers make adaptations that make their hearts and lungs work more effectively in low oxygen conditions. Why this is important: The world’s top free divers can hold their breath for minutes at a time, embarking on…
Adults who stay well-hydrated appear to be healthier, develop fewer chronic conditions, such as heart and lung disease, and live longer than those who may not get sufficient fluids, according to a National Institutes of Health study published in eBioMedicine.…
Respiratory diseases like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) continue to contribute to global morbidity and mortality worldwide. In a recent article published in the MDPI journal Microorganisms, researchers review the role of the gut microbiome in these…
In a new study published online in the American Thoracic Society’s American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers sought to determine the percentage of COVID-19 patients discharged from the hospital who had a type of fibrotic lung damage,…
A recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server evaluated risk factors associated with long COVID. Research suggests that some patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) develop a post-COVID-19 syndrome (long COVID), a state of chronic fatigue characterized by post-exertional neuro-immune…
Asthma + Lung UK is calling for lung health to become an urgent priority after a damning report, released ahead of World COPD Day tomorrow, reveals that almost a quarter of people surveyed with the deadly lung disease chronic obstructive pulmonary…
