Scientists Open Doors To Diagnosis Of Emphysema
sciencedaily.com — “A new development may provide powerful new test for inflammatory lung diseases. Chronic inflammatory lung diseases like chronic bronchitis and emphysema are a major global health problem, and the fourth leading cause of death and disability in developed countries, with smoking accounting for 90% of the risk for developing them. New work has shed light on the underlying disease process of emphysema using a technique which could in future be adapted for use in diagnosis.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Test could provide early emphysema detection | IVD Technology
ivdtechnology.com — “Researchers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center say a blood test that detects the early development of emphysema long before symptoms occur may eventually become available. In the March 11 online edition of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the researchers say that because most cases of emphysema are caused by smoking, the test they are developing can warn smokers about impending development of the untreatable disease.” View full resource at ivdtechnology.com

New test could identify smokers at risk of emphysema
sciencedaily.com — “CT scans that measure blood flow in the lungs of people who smoke may offer a way to identify which smokers are most at risk of emphysema before the disease damages and eventually destroys areas of the lungs. The discovery may also improve understanding of the underlying causes of emphysema; help distinguish it from other forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and help test the effectiveness of emphysema therapies.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com
