Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devasting lung disease characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue. As fibrosis develops, patients experience worsening shortness of breath, reduced lung capacity and ultimately respiratory failure. Current therapies for IPF rely on oral administration of pirfenidone and ...
This strain’s response to various stimuli, including allergens, pathogens, and other environmental factors, makes it particularly valuable for studying lung diseases and conditions, such as asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. ...
Smokers significantly increase the risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and lung cancer, as well as heart disease. The good news is quitting smoking brings immediate and long-term health benefits, reducing health risks and improving overall well-being. ...
Precision-Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) have emerged as a innovative ex vivo model that allows researchers to explore deep into lung physiology, disease mechanisms, and pharmacological responses. ...
The research goals of Carole Ober’s laboratory at the University of Chicago are to identify genetic variants that influence gene expression and epigenetic patterns in tissues relevant to complex phenotypes, especially related to asthma and fertility. The lab uses both freshly isolated cells, as well as tissue and cell culture models of gene-environment interactions to explore ...
The observations were made in three patients with non-homogeneous lung disease and obvious gas trapping on x-ray. The Jet TI was .02 sees throughout. ...
Discovery In the late 19th century, researchers attempted to produce a drug with a hemostatic effect by injecting a peptone and inducing the release of an anticoagulant. The water-soluble substance isolated from the liver was heparin, but no one knew it at the time. What unfolded over the next four decades would change the trajectory of anticoagulation treatment. By 1915, the most prominent ...

The Non-Intrusive LuCED Test for Detection of Early-Stage Lung Cancer: A Subgroup Analysis for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Introduction VisionGate’s LuCED® test for lung cancer measures 934 features in each cell imaged in 3D by the Cell- CT™. ...
VTE is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide and has the third-highest mortality rate out of any cardiovascular disease, behind myocardial infarctions and stroke. Unlike myocardial infractions and stroke, where mortality has improved considerably, VTE has seen an increase in cases, with no demonstrable change in mortality over the past decade. ...
It is the most harmful pollutant to human health which can lead to respiratory diseases, lung cancer, and heart attacks. The World Health Organization measured the values of PM 2.5 and PM 10 during the years 2008 to 2013 in almost 1600 cities across the globe. ...
