Lung cancer is among the most common cancers worldwide. In the United States and other industrialized countries, it’s the major cause of cancer mortality. Emphysema is a term that describes structural ...

Moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be an auto-immunity problem, according to researchers who studied the presence of auto-antibodies in patients with COPD and compared ...

In the first study to directly compare men and women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe emphysema, researchers have found that there are marked differences between the sexes. In the ...

The final session of the symposium, "Impact on Chest Wall and Respiratory Muscles," was presented by Professor Peter T. Macklem, of the Meakins-Christie Labs at McGill University Health Center in ...
