[24/04/2012] Engineers at the University of Sheffield have developed a method of assisting nerves damaged by traumatic accidents to repair naturally, which could improve the chances of restoring sensation and movement in injured limbs. New Technique May Help: Regrow of Severely Damaged Nerves - read more

COPD: Marker for Early Detection of Lung Damage

( Source: MEDICA.de )

[10/04/2012] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a widespread disease. Around ninety per cent of cases are the result of smoking. Now a research team from the University Department of Surgery at MedUni Vienna has discovered a protein marker in the blood that can already indicate lung damage during the early stages of COPD, before a decrease in lung volume is detected by a pulmonary function test. COPD: Marker for Early Detection of Lung Damage - read more
