While the dangers of primary smoking are well-known, nearly half of the U.S. population remains at risk from the silent threat of secondhand smoke (SHS). Chronic exposure to SHS triggers a cascade of inflammation and vascular damage that can lead to irreversible conditions like COPD and emphysema. A recent study from Sturgis et al. (2025) has demonstrated a promising new therapeutic candidate: ...
However, dysregulation of elastase activity can lead to tissue damage and has been implicated in numerous pathological conditions. Overactive elastase can cause excessive breakdown of elastin, leading to diseases such as emphysema, where the alveoli in the lungs lose their elasticity, and various skin disorders marked by premature aging or loss of elasticity. ...
A new structural target for drug development against COVID-19 has been unveiled today by Sibylla Biotech in collaboration with the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), the University of Trento and University of Perugia.The breakthrough drug discovery strategy pioneered by Sibylla in this study would not only promise to reduce the risk of drug resistance and harmful side effects, ...
An exciting feature of the system is that it has been found to be capable of detecting TB in the very early stages, when the disease is initially forming and the TB bacilli are lodged and multiplying in the upper respiratory tract, before they cause lung damage that can be detected in an x-ray or can get into the sputum. ...
Adults parasitize in the small intestine of cats, dogs and humans. The larvae can invade lung, brain, liver, kidney and other tissues and organs, causing strongyloidiasis. ...

When natural respiratory humidification decreases pulmonic infections and damage to lung tissue may ...
All major organs were free from thrombo-embolic (TE) damage. In pulmonary position, leaflet mobility of all valves remained also normal and no TE-damage was found in the lungs. ...
Graphs of MedRxi The novel coronavirus pneumonia is the most common organ damage in lung and heart, followed by kidney and liver. The novel coronavirus pneumonia is the most important risk factor for death in patients with new corona pneumonia. ...
However, ENDS exposure, independent of nicotine, altered lung lipid homeostasis in alveolar macrophages and epithelial cells. ...
In addition, accessing the targeted implant location using a custom delivery tool was successful in all five cadavers and three humans without the use of fluoroscopy, with an average lead delivery time of 121±52 seconds. No damage to the lung, pericardium, heart, or internal thoracic vessels occurred. ...
As far back as 2004, information began to suggest that it causes the lung disease, bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare but serious lung disease. It was appropriately named “Popcorn Workers Lungs” because the first cases appeared in popcorn makers’ facilities where the diacetyl can be heated and workers exposed day after day. ...
