A new study finds that most people will recover from long COVID after a year. Researchers found evidence that antibodies associated with autoimmune illnesses and elevated levels of proteins called cytokines were higher in people with persistent symptoms. Symptoms of long covid include fatigue, difficulty breathing, cough, headaches, body aches, and even cognitive symptoms affecting concentration and sleep. New research published this month in the European Respiratory Journal finds that regardless of severity, about 75% of people will recover from long COVID within 12 months. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) anyone who has experienced COVID-19 infection can experience long COVID symptoms, even those who had a mild illness or even no symptoms at all. Researchers also discovered that patients with persistent symptoms had antibodies associated with autoimmune illnesses and elevated levels of proteins called cytokines, which can cause inflammation. Accordin...

Abstract Epidemiological evidence suggests that hypertension is associated with breast cancer risk. However, previous studies disregard blood pressure components in the healthy population. We aimed to examine the relationship between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and breast cancer risk in a Korean population-based prospective cohort. A total of 73,031 women from the Health Examinees Gem Study were followed from baseline (2004 to 2013) through 2018. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured by trainee physicians at baseline recruitment and then categorized based on the international guidelines for clinical hypertension. Associations between systolic and diastolic blood pressure with overall breast cancer and stratified by premenopausal and postmenopausal status were evaluated using adjusted multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression. A total of 858 breast cancer cases were recorded for a median follow-up period of 9 years. Compared with the normal DBP ca...

To clean an inhaler, remove the medication canister and then rinse the mouthpiece and cap with warm water. Be sure to replace your inhaler if you run out of numbered puffs or if your inhaler expires.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects your airways and interferes with your ability to breathe. Uncontrolled asthma can lead to the airways becoming swollen and increasingly narrow or producing excessive mucus, making it difficult for air to move in and out. Common symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, tightness around the chest, and breathlessness that alters in severity with time and with exposure to specific irritants/allergens. While asthma attacks can be serious, most symptoms can be managed by consulting a doctor who might guide a patient to quick-relief medications such as bronchodilators that open narrowed or swollen airways. In some cases, the doctor may also add anti-allergic medicines. For long-term management of the condition, controller or preventive medications containing inhaled corticosteroids are given by the clinician to manage asthma on a day-to-day basis. What is severe asthma? Severe asthma ...
