Newborn screenings more likely to miss cystic fibrosis diagnosis in non-white babies

Researchers call for better newborn screens across the U.S. Cystic fibrosis is missed more often in newborn screenings for non-white than white babies, creating higher risk for irreversible lung damage and other serious outcomes in Black, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native newborns, a new study finds.

Analysis finds link between cumulative occupational exposure and waning lung capacity

Workplace exposure to gases, dusts, fumes, and aromatic solvents used in paints, varnishes, and glues, is linked to waning lung capacity above and beyond that associated with normal aging, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published online in the journal Occupational & Environmental Medicine.
