Pulmonary Hypertension

pulmonary hypertension bp :: Article Creator Scientists Discover Potential New Treatment For Pulmonary Hypertension Researchers at Indiana University and Notre Dame have discovered a potential new treatment for pulmonary hypertension, focusing on reversing vascular remodeling through an epigenetic pathway involving the protein SPHK2, as reported in Circulation Research. This innovative approach could transform the treatment of this serious lung condition. Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine,  at the school's South Bend regional campus, and their colleagues at the University of Notre Dame, have discovered a novel therapeutic target for treating pulmonary hypertension. This form of high blood pressure specifically impacts the blood vessels in the lungs. The team's research and findings have been recently published in the journal Circulation Research. Pulmonary hypertension is a complex and often fatal condition tha...

lung nodules on ct :: Article Creator Use Of CT Scans To Detect Lung Cancer Questioned A new study by the researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore cautioned that Computed Tomography(CT) scans may not be valuable for mass screening for lung cancer. They claimed that the harm of unnecessary testing for lung nodules detected by the CT scan that turn out to be benign, and the costs of the scan far outweigh the number of lives saved by annual full-body CT screening. Following this, the National Cancer Institute has begun an eight-year trial comparing CT scans with chest x-rays in the diagnosis of lung cancer. The study's senior author Neil R. Powe, MD, MPH, director of Johns Hopkins' Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research concluded that consumers may want to hold off the screenings until solid data is available. He also added that smoking cessation is the only proven, cost-effective me...

nsip lung treatment :: Article Creator Today's Treatment Options For Lung Cancer Lung cancer develops when normal cell function becomes interrupted, causing cells to divide and multiply uncontrollably. These cancer cells clump together to form a mass called a tumor. The two main types of lung cancer, small cell and non-small cell, are named after what they look like under a microscope. Lung cancer is treated in several ways depending on the type of lung cancer and how far it has spread. Surgery is a treatment option where doctors cut out the tumor and surrounding cancer tissue. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, they may remove a small part of the lung, a lobe, lymph nodes, or even an entire lung. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays similar to an X-ray to kill the cancer. These beams focus on a specific area of the body to maximize the effect on cancer cells while minimizing injury to normal cells. While surgery and radiation ...

high blood remedy :: Article Creator Unlocking Personalized Treatment For Millions With High Blood Pressure HMRI and University of Newcastle researcher, Professor Murray Cairns, along with his Precision Medicine team have discovered a way of predicting who will respond to blood pressure treatments to lower sodium in the body. Their findings were published this week in Circulation, a prestigious international cardiology journal. Professor Cairns says, "High blood pressure – or hypertension related disease – kills up to 20 per cent of people. At least 30 per cent of the adult population has it – that's one in three Australian adults – and only 30 per cent of those people get it under control. "A 25% reduction in the prevalence of hypertension could save the Australian Government $34 billion per year," says Professor Cairns. Professor Cairns and his team have figured out how to use each person's individual genetics to i...

acute decompensated heart failure :: Article Creator SLU Heart Failure Expert Pens Editorial For New England Journal Of Medicine ST. LOUIS – In patients experiencing a worsening of heart failure, the primary objective of treatment should be the patient-centric goal of symptom relief, says the author of an editorial in the current issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Paul J. Hauptman, M.D., a SLUCare cardiologist specializing in heart failure and professor of internal medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, looked at the results of the Trial of Ularitide Efficacy and Safety in Acute Heart Failure (TRUE-AHF), which was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel synthetic compound "ularitide" administered very soon after a patient presents with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). ADHF is a sudden worsening of the signs and symptoms of heart failure, which typically includes difficulty breathing...
