Novel, experimental treatment for emphysema may offer promising results for patients looking to breathe easier ...
Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) significantly improved lung function in a subset of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), ...
Measuring lung function earlier in life would help identify people at risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and allow for more timely interventions, according to a new study ...
Structural differences in lung airways between men and woman may be the cause of differences in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence and outcomes between the sexes. According to a ...
Doctors sometimes recommend lung coils to help someone manage severe emphysema, especially when other treatments have been unsuccessful. Their benefits include increased lung volume, exercise capacity ...
Measuring lung function earlier in life would help identify people at risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and allow for more timely interventions, according to a new study ...
A CT scan of healthy lungs looks typical in size with no inflammation, allowing the diaphragm to dome. Lungs with emphysema can look overinflated, with muscle loss, making the diaphragm misshapen. The ...
