normal lung pressure :: Article Creator New Scan Method Unveils Lung Function Secrets A new method of scanning lungs is able to show the effects of treatment on lung function in real time and enable experts to see the functioning of transplanted lungs. This could enable medics to identify sooner any decline in lung function. The scan method has enabled the team, led by researchers at Newcastle University, UK, to see how air moves in and out of the lungs as people take a breath in patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and patients who have received a lung transplant. Publishing two complementary papers in Radiology and JHLT Open, the team explain how they use a special gas, called perfluoropropane, that can be seen on an MRI scanner. The gas can be safely breathed in and out by patients, and then scans taken to look at where in the lungs the gas has reached. The project lead, Professor Pete Thelwallis Professor of ...

lung cancer and hypertension :: Article Creator Patients With Vitiligo Are Not At Higher Risk For Cancer Than General Population The risk for cancer is not increased among patients with vitiligo compared with patients without vitiligo, according to study findings published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. Vitiligo has recently been acknowledged for its broader influence across body systems, possibly driven by shared inflammatory pathways and immune mechanisms. Previous studies have linked autoimmune diseases and cancer, although mixed findings have been reported on vitiligo. Therefore, investigators sought to assess cancer risk in patients with vitiligo. The investigators conducted a population-based cohort study using the Clalit Health Services database in Israel and ICD-9 codes from 2000 through 2023 to identify patients with vitiligo. Overall, 25,008 patients with vitiligo were matched in a 1:10 ratio with 245,550 cont...

rheumatic heart failure :: Article Creator Scientists Make Rheumatic Heart Disease Breakthrough Scientists have identified six proteins implicated in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) which could revolutionise the way in which the condition is treated and diagnosed in the developing world. Published in Clinical Proteomics, the collaboration between research teams at  the universities of Manchester (UoM), UK and Cape Town (UCT), South Africa, offers hope to the 40 million of the world's poor, disabled every year by the devastating disease. The study - which used state of the art technology called proteomics conducted by postgraduate researchers M Taariq Salie, (MSc student, UCT) and Jing Yang (Postdoctoral fellow, UoM)  to discover the disease's biomarker signature –reveals for the first time ongoing inflammation activity in the 215 patients with severe RHD from 10 African countries. RHD is caused by one or several episodes of rheumat...

chest and lungs :: Article Creator Mayo Clinic Q&A: How Belly Breathing Benefits Your Body, Mind DEAR MAYO CLINIC: Is breathing from your belly beneficial? If so, can you explain why and how to do it? ANSWER: From the day you're born, you know how to breathe correctly. That means letting the diaphragm — the large, thin muscle just below the rib cage — do the work of drawing air into the lungs and letting it out. It's known as diaphragmatic or belly breathing, and it's the most efficient and effective way to breathe. But over time, almost everyone needs to remember how. Rather than belly breathing, people begin chest breathing. With chest breathing, the muscles between the ribs and the neck do the harder work of raising and lowering the rib cage to pull air into the lungs and push it out. Chest breathing requires a lot of effort and moves less air. When it comes to the correct way to breathe, it doesn't matter whether you ...

Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience.Generate Key Takeaways A lung cancer drug already available on the NHS has been proven to cut bladder cancer deaths and reduce the risk of the disease returning by a third. The "game-changing" results of the trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that patients treated with an immunotherapy drug called durvalumab were about 10 per cent more likely to survive for at least two years compared to those receiving standard care. Patients taking the drug were also 32 per cent less likely to experience cancer recurrence or progression during the study period.
