stage three lung cancer :: Article Creator Tagrisso May Improve Survival In Advanced EGFR-Mutant NSCLC Tagrisso is associated with positive outcomes among patients with unresectable stage 3 EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. For patients with unresectable stage 3 EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, Tagrisso associated with positive outcomes. Tagrisso (osimertinib) has been found to be associated with positive outcomes, including improvements in overall survival, among patients with unresectable stage 3 EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These findings, it has been posited, position Tagrisso as the new standard of care treatment for this patient population, according to findings from the international phase 3 LAURA study presented at the European Lung Cancer Congress (ELCC) 2025. "In summary, this updated overall survival analysis from the LAURA study demonstrates an improved favorable trend for overall ...

black death doctor :: Article Creator Causes And Effects Of The Black Death There are various estimates of how many people died during the 1348-49 outbreak. Most historians believe between a third and half of the population were killed by the Black Death. The population of England at the time of the Black Death is estimated to have been around 6 million, so that means approximately 2 to 3 million people died. Despite the scale of the fatalities, there is evidence that there was some sort of organised response from local government. Mass graves of victims have been found from the Middle Ages. The way the bodies are carefully laid in side by side suggests bodies were treated respectfully and in a dignified way. A result of the high mortality rateclosemortality rateThe percentage of people who would normally die from a disease. So a disease with a mortality rate of 50% would mean an average of 50 people would die out of every 100 infected. Was a sh...

gland tb symptoms :: Article Creator NHS Alert Over Cough Infection That Can Spread To The Brain - Signs To Spot 11:04, 24 Mar 2025Updated 14:10, 24 Mar 2025 CDC explains how tuberculosis can be transmitted The NHS has issued a warning over a slow-developing bacterial infection that usually starts with a cough. While the illness isn't generally as contagious as a common cold, it can be far more serious, potentially requiring antibiotics for at least six months. "Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs," the health body stressed on X earlier this morning. "It can be treated with antibiotics but can be serious if not treated. Learn more about the symptoms and treatments of this condition." ‌ As the NHS implies, TB is caused by the spread of bacteria. When someone with active TB coughs, sneezes or speaks, tiny germs are released into the air, which others may inhale. ...

bacterial infection cough contagious :: Article Creator Could Your Cold-Like Symptoms Be Whooping Cough? How To Identify The Latter When you have a runny nose or a mild cough, you're likely to suspect a common cold. However, these cold-like symptoms are not just limited to a viral infection; they can also indicate a more serious condition called whooping cough, a highly contagious bacterial infection characterised by severe coughing episodes. Dr Manoj AG, Consultant Physician at Practo, Bengaluru, sheds light on the distinguishing factors and shares ways to prevent the condition. Also Read: Whooping Cough Deaths Hit Record High in US—What Makes This Infection So Dangerous? What Is Whooping Cough? Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a very contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It is characterised by severe coughing fits and ends with a 'whooping' sound as the air is inhaled...

pleurisy back pain :: Article Creator 7 Reasons Why You Have Back Pain When You Breathe, According To Doctors Back pain is common — nearly 40 percent of adults reported having back pain in 2019 — and it's often caused by everyday issues like poor posture or strained muscles. But if you have back pain that's triggered each time you take a breath, this may be a sign of something more serious like pneumonia or a blood clot. Here are seven reasons you may have back pain while breathing and when you should see a doctor. 1. Strained muscle Strained muscles occur when your muscles are stretched too much, causing tears in the muscle fibers or tendons. "There are small muscles between the ribs, front and back, that help expand and contract your chest as a normal part of breathing," says Dr. Kate Rowland, a family medicine doctor and professor at Rush University. These muscles can get pulled or strained through activities like h...

cystic lung disease :: Article Creator Breathing New Life: Working Toward An Inhalable Gene Therapy For Cystic Fibrosis Imagine a future where treating cystic fibrosis is as simple as taking a deep breath. That's exactly what a team of pediatric physician-scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA is working to achieve. Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that clogs the lungs with thick, sticky mucus, leading to chronic infections and severe organ damage. Despite breakthrough medications that have been transformative for some, the drugs come with significant limitations: they don't work for everyone, can cost millions over a lifetime and, most critically, don't address the root cause of the condition. Without a curative treatment, the disorder remains a ticking clock for patients who don't respond to existing drugs, many of whom face respiratory failure by...

airway inflammation :: Article Creator Dry Air Increases Risk Of Airway Inflammation Others You An increased exposure to dry air — occurring more due to global warming — could heighten risk of dehydration and inflammation in breathing tracts, a study has found. Inflammation in the airways can increase one's risk of respiratory infections and worsen conditions such as asthma. The researchers, led by those at Johns Hopkins University, US, explained that as the Earth's atmosphere continues to heat up, with relative humidity remaining the same, 'vapour pressure deficit' — a measure of the air's 'thirst' for water — can increase rapidly. Relative humidity is the moisture present in air relative to the maximum that it can hold at a given temperature. The higher the vapour pressure deficit, the more the air's thirst and thus, water evaporates more quickly, thereby dehydrating ecosystems, the researchers sa...
