CT-measured vascular pruning linked to mortality risk in smokers without COPD

In a new study, CT-measured vascular pruning – the diminution of distal pulmonary blood vessels (vessels on the outer edges of the lungs) – was associated with increased risk of death in smokers without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Pulmonary thrombosis-on-a-chip enables unprecedented study of blood responses to organ-level injury

The average human pair of lungs is permeated by a network of about 164 feet of blood vessels (roughly the width of a football field), including microscopic blood capillaries, which facilitate the diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream in exchange for carbon dioxide.

$Study finds link between type 1 diabetes and increased risk of bone fractures in men$

Study finds link between type 1 diabetes and increased risk of bone fractures in men

A Norwegian study has established that men with type 1 diabetes are more likely to suffer bone fractures because of lower bone density, poorer bone quality and a lower rate of bone growth.
