Viral vs Bacterial Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection of one or both lungs which affects alveoli, the tiny sacs found in clusters at the end of the branching structure of airways (respiratory tree) that supply air to the lungs. This article looks at the differences between bacterial and viral pneumonia.

Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for upper respiratory tract infections contributes to antibiotic resistance
Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for upper respiratory tract infections contributes to antibiotic resistance, making some bacterial infections difficult to treat. This often leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays and increased mortality. Still, many physicians report prescribing antibiotics at their patients' request.

Simple blood test useful for excluding pulmonary embolism among hospitalized COVID-19 patients
A screening blood test originally validated in seriously ill patients without COVID-19 is still clinically useful for ruling out pulmonary embolism in patients hospitalized with the coronavirus. D-dimer is a simple blood test that measures protein fragments of blood clots floating in the bloodstream.

AI can spot signs of lung cancer on CT scans a year earlier
An AI program can spot signs of lung cancer on CT scans a year before they can be diagnosed with existing methods, according to research presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress. Researchers hope that using AI to support lung cancer screening could make the process quicker and more efficient.
