 | | |  Aspergillosis: A growing global crisis Aspergillosis, caused by Aspergillus fungi, is an increasingly serious infection affecting immunocompromised and lung-compromised individuals, with rising incidence linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, antifungal resistance, and environmental change. Diagnostic difficulties, limited treatment options, and escalating drug resistance highlight the urgent need for improved surveillance, earlier detection, and coordinated global public health action. | | | | |  Scientists explain how eating a rainbow of foods lowers your risk for chronic illness Consuming a variety of flavonoid-rich foods can lower all-cause mortality and chronic disease risks, emphasizing the importance of dietary diversity. | |

| | | | |  Scientists have made a key breakthrough for treating respiratory diseases by developing a new drug delivery system that transports genetic therapies directly to the lungs, opening promising possibilities for patients with conditions like lung cancer and cystic fibrosis. | | | | |  Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the majority of lung cancer cases and remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. | | | | |  A novel screening approach developed by physicians at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University shows significant promise for improving the detection of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-a life-threatening form of heart failure related to high blood pressure in the lung circulation that is often overlooked due to vague symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. | | | | |  A new study published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, a journal from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, finds that Medicare patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who undergo surgical ablation during isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) live longer than those who do not, offering compelling support for clinical guidelines that recommend this procedure but are too often not followed in practice. | | | | |  Esther Bejarano's son was 11 months old when asthma landed him inhh the hospital.
