chronic thromboembolic disease :: Article Creator Insulin Resistance Correlates With Disease Severity In CTEPH: Study Insulin resistance or IR — a reduced response of body tissues to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels — was found to correlate with disease severity in people with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), according to a new study from researchers in China. Further, the team determined that an indicator of insulin resistance, called METS-IR, may help predict clinical worsening — ranging from the need for PH-related hospitalization or a lung transplant to all-cause death — in CTEPH patients. "METS-IR is an independent predictor of clinical worsening in patients with CTEPH," the researchers wrote. "It offers a convenient marker for assessing disease severity and long-term outcomes in clinical risk assessment." In people, IR results in high blood sugar and contributes to diabetes....

lung lesion treatment :: Article Creator Allegheny Health Network Using New Robotic Tool To Diagnose Lung Cancer As technology advances in the fight against cancer, Allegheny Health Network is using a new robotic tool to diagnose lung cancer.   For many people doctor's visits bring anxiety, but the word cancer brings a whole new level of stress. Doctors told Jacqueline Rysz she might have lung cancer after they found one mass in her left lung and another mass in her right lung.  "By this time, my heart is beating so fast, I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, I have cancer," Rysz said. "Everybody thought it was cancer." After seeing more doctors and having more scans done, she came to Allegheny Health Network Forbes Hospital for a second opinion. AHN Forbes Hospital Pulmonologist Dr. Giath Shari used new robot-assisted equipment to enter Rysz's lungs this time. With the tube in the main airway, doctors dropped an ul...
