Children diagnosed with interstitial lung disease often survive into adulthood, when they are likely to need care for related impairments.

UC Santa Barbara researchers now know why a pool of red dye somehow “knew” how to solve a maze filled with milk.

Researchers discovered that ink in a soap-and-milk experiment follows the path of least resistance due to surface tension ...

Familial cases of pulmonary fibrosis suggest a genetic basis for some forms of the disease. Recent reports have linked genetic mutations in surfactant protein C (SFTPC) with familial forms of ...

Follow-up data describing lung structure and function are scarce in children born preterm during the surfactant era. Objectives To obtain comprehensive data on lung structure and function in ...

We speculate that increased activity of the ANP/NPR-A pathway in late gestation may prime the surfactant system, preparing the lung for air breathing. Currently, no study has examined ...

surfactant-deficient lung. This trial only evaluated nebulised surfactant using a face mask as the patient interface. A supraglottic mask may offer more directed and hence efficient surfactant ...

Lung cancer screening aims to find lung cancer early. This is when there are more treatment options available and there is the best chance of treating it successfully. In the UK, the National ...

The gold standard for finding lung cancer early is computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening. However, this is limited to people who have smoked. Currently, there are more non-smokers (never ...

COPD is a progressive lung disease with mild symptoms in the early stages that gradually worsen. Early diagnosis and treatment can help preserve lung function. People with COPD often have trouble ...
