interstitial pneumonia :: Article Creator Therapeutic Protein Offers New Hope For Inflammatory Lung Diseases Register for free to listen to this article Thank you. Listen to this article using the player above. ✖ Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a lung disease characterized by granulomas—tiny clumps of immune cells that form in response to inflammation. It's the most inflammatory of the interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), a family of conditions that all involve some level of inflammation and fibrosis, or scarring, of the lungs. In the U.S., pulmonary sarcoidosis affects around 200,000 patients. The cause is unknown, and no new treatments have been introduced in the past 70 years. In a paper published in Science Translational Medicine on March 12, 2025, scientists at Scripps Research and aTyr Pharma characterized a protein, HARSWHEP, that can soothe the inflammation associated with sarcoidosis by regulating white blood cells. Reducing inflam...

positive tb skin test mm :: Article Creator Skin TB Testing To Begin Across Dist Hospitals From Next Month Ranchi: Skin TB testing is all set to start at the govt hospitals across the district from next month for detecting tuberculosis infections quickly and efficiently. According to experts, the new testing method is a simple, painless, and comfortable procedure that involves a small injection under the skin.Results will be available within 48 to 72 hours, making it a quick and efficient solution for diagnosing TB. If the induration (swelling) exceeds 5 mm, the patient will be considered TB-infected and prescribed TPT (tuberculosis preventive treatment) medicine. If the reaction is smaller, the patient will be tested again after two months.Earlier, TB detection relied mainly on the "balgam test" (sputum test), which required collecting phlegm samples from the lungs and testing them for TB. The skin TB test involves injecting a small amo...

the plague bacteria :: Article Creator Ancestor Of Black Death Has Been Discovered In Bronze-Age Sheep Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience.Generate Key Takeaways An ancestor of the bacteria responsible for plague has been found in the tooth of a sheep that lived nearly 4,000 years ago in a Bronze Age human settlement, scientists report in a new preprint study. Millennia later, the apparent descendants of this pathogen would unleash vicious pandemics that claimed millions of human lives, including the 6th-century Justinian plague and the 14th-century Black Death. In tracing the backstories of diseases like plague, this new research highlights the importance of looking not just at ancient human remains, but also the animals around them, the authors say. Most human pathogens have zoonotic origins, a...

lung fibrosis prognosis :: Article Creator What To Know About Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis The rare lung condition affects thousands of Americans each year with often devastating effects When breathing becomes increasingly difficult with no clear explanation, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) might be the culprit behind the concerning symptoms. This rare yet devastating lung disease affects approximately 50,000 Americans annually, gradually transforming healthy lung tissue into stiff, scarred areas that struggle to function properly. Unlike many respiratory conditions with clear causes, IPF remains shrouded in mystery—the term "idiopathic" literally means doctors cannot pinpoint exactly what triggers the disease. This uncertainty makes diagnosis challenging and treatment complex, but understanding the warning signs can lead to earlier intervention and improved quality of life. The mysterious origins of lung scarring Researchers h...

my chest is cold :: Article Creator 10 Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Chest Mucus You can get rid of chest mucus by using home remedies like hot steam, soup, and certain medications. Mucus is a substance that lubricates and protects several organs, but too much can be a sign of an infection. Phlegm is mucus that can build up in your lungs and cause a cough. Several home remedies can relieve chest congestion. However, they are not cures for the infection responsible for the mucus production in your chest. Rest, proper nutrition, and possibly, medications or other treatments may be needed for you to fully recover and get rid of excess chest mucus. Try adding some honey to a warm drink like tea to help clear up chest congestion even further. Research has shown that honey has nutrients that support the immune system. Honey can also relieve coughing when you mix it with warm water, which can dissolve phlegm in the respiratory tract. Do not gi...

meningitis contagious bacterial :: Article Creator What Parents Should Know About Childhood Meningitis That slight fever and headache your child woke up with? Most of the time, it's nothing serious. But sometimes, those seemingly innocent symptoms can be the first whispers of something far more dangerous – meningitis, an infection that can go from mild concern to life-threatening emergency within hours. Meningitis inflames the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. While it's relatively rare, it demands immediate attention when it strikes. The challenge for parents lies in distinguishing its early symptoms from common childhood illnesses, especially since young children can't always articulate exactly what they're feeling. Understanding meningitis isn't about living in fear but being equipped with knowledge that could make all the difference if your child ever faces this infection. Let's explore wha...
