Asbestosis

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is used for many purposes especially in insulation. When inhaled, these tiny, needle-like fibers cause your immune cells to literally imperil themselves in an attempt to rid your lung of these asbestos fibers. (Read more about Asbestosis)

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in America today. There are nearly 200,000 cases diagnosed annually. (Read more about Lung Cancer)

State of Tobacco Report

Have you noticed the cost of cigarettes is continuing to go up?
That’s good news, and worthy of a good grade, according to the American Lung Association.

Today, it released its annual state of tobacco report. It grades states and the federal government on a variety of tobacco control policies with one major goal: getting people to stop using tobacco….period.

Damon Mccoll is a college-age smoker in New York. “They are way to expensive, I can’t afford this I am just a college student, I can’t afford cigarettes at this price.” (Read more about State of Tobacco Report)

What is Cancer?

By Dr. Chitti Moorthy -Director, Departments of Radiation Medicine and Radiology,
New York Medical College, Valhalla , NY

The cause of cancer lies deep within the building blocks of a person's cells (genes and DNA). If these blocks become disorganized, cancer may develop. (Read more about What is Cancer?)

LUNG CIRCADIAN RHYTHM

Circadian rhythms, the body’s biological processes that repeat in 24-hour cycles, may have a significant effect on a person’s lung function according to the latest research.
As human beings, we’re in synch with our world- our body clocks linked to the clocks on the wall. There’s no question that our internal clock affects the way many systems function. For example we’re more likely to suffer a heart attack in the early morning hours. Well not only does heart function change throughout the day, according to circadian rhythms, but so does lung function. (Read more about LUNG CIRCADIAN RHYTHM)

LUNG CANCER TREATMENT, STROKE RETRAINING, WHOLE BODY CAT SCAN

People suffering from paralysis due to stroke or traumatic brain injury may be able to reprogram their brains to improve motor skills and to control artificial limbs.
With a stroke, when nerve cells are damaged, other nerve cells take over for them. But until now, scientists weren't sure which neurons compensated for damaged neurons, or how the brain cells learned their new jobs. The latest study shows how MRI images can show the active areas of the brain. (Read more about LUNG CANCER TREATMENT, STROKE RETRAINING, WHOLE BODY CAT SCAN)

Cancer Vaccine

Vaccines that protect against cancer have been proposed since before the 1910s. A growing sophistication of how cells age and die may hold the key to a cancer vaccine. (Read more about Cancer Vaccine)

Why The Body Ages

How the body Ages.
The nucleus of every cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes. And they contain DNA or the genetic material of the cell. A prime cause of ageing is every cell’s chromosomes are capped with a protein button called a telomere. (Read more about Why The Body Ages)

LUNG CANCER SCREENING TEST

If you smoke, or are a former smoker, there is an extremely important new study out which shows how you can protect yourself from developing advanced lung cancer.
More Americans die each year from lung cancer, than from breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers combined. Screening for lung cancer is a problem that physicians have been grappling with for many years. For breast cancer, we have mammography, and now breast CAT scans and MRIs to screen for breast cancer. For colon cancer, we have flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. (Read more about LUNG CANCER SCREENING TEST)

SMOKING AND COLON CANCER RISK

You probably know that smoking and lung cancer are very closely related, with heavy smokers being the most prone to suffer from lung cancer. Smoking also raises one’s risk of heart disease.
Now, smokers can add pre-cancerous growths in the colon to the host of increased health risks they face. (Read more about SMOKING AND COLON CANCER RISK)
