A drug prototype known as NZ-97 showed promise for treating pulmonary disease by stimulating growth of new stem cells to repair damaged tissue, based on data from a new proof-of-concept study.

TOPLINE: Exposure to furan, a chemical present in agricultural products, stabilizers, pharmaceuticals, and heat-processed foods, shows a

Adults with COPD showed higher blood levels of the environmental pollutant furan than those without COPD.

The latest research supports immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for clear cell and non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma, but patient selection is key to optimize outcomes, according to a medical oncologist from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston.

A drug prototype known as NZ-97 showed promise for treating pulmonary disease by stimulating growth of new stem cells to repair damaged tissue, based on data from a new proof-of-concept study.

Exposure to furan, a chemical present in agricultural products, stabilizers, pharmaceuticals, and heat-processed foods, shows a significant positive correlation with the prevalence and respiratory mortality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ).

New data highlighted the vulnerability of ILD patients to pneumothorax in the native lung after single-lung transplant.

TOPLINE: Complications in the native lung after single-lung transplants (SLTs) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) included pneumothorax , pulmonary aspergillosis , and acute exacerbation.

TOPLINE: After adjustments, the likelihood of asthma attacks was 1.06 times higher for every 5-cm increase in waist circumference in adults with asthma.

Literature review highlighted the need for more health system intervention to manage climate-associated respiratory care.
