A German analysis explores what underlies shifts in the timing of seasonal surges of respiratory diseases, as well as shifts in surges of heart-related deaths, that occurred after the COVID-19 pandemic began. Michael Sieber and Arne Traulsen of the Max Planck Institute for Evolut

Flu season is no longer just flu season. Since 2022, the health care community has faced what's known as a "tripledemic" of seasonal influenza, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). That may mean the flu shot needs to become more than a flu shot.

Higher levels of circulating vitamin A are linked to better lung function in children and adults with asthma, while vitamin D shows similar benefits in adults, including slower biological aging, finds the first study of its kind, published online in the respiratory journal Thorax

Doctors have few options for patients who develop a life-threatening lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. A frequent cause of death during the COVID-19 pandemic, ARDS occurs when an inflammatory cascade triggered by infection or injury leaks fluid i

A new international expert consensus statement published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine provides guidance for doctors on how to identify, monitor and treat a serious lung complication that affects many people living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

For patients struggling to breathe because of acute respiratory failure, clearing mucus from the airways is a routine part of treatment. Mucoactive agents are widely used for this purpose. But after years of clinical use, one question remains: Do mucoactive agents actually help?

Fentanyl, combination opioid treatments, oxycodone and morphine are associated with higher risks compared with codeine among patients treated for non-cancer pain. University of Manchester researchers have identified which opioids are most likely to be associated with respiratory

A study led by biomedical scientist Erica Heinrich at the University of California, Riverside, highlights a critical gap in how clinicians detect and treat breathing distress (dyspnea), particularly in patients on ventilators. The research is published in the journal Respiratory

Future therapies for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) must target both the virus and the immune response to ensure babies get the best possible outcomes, a new study by researchers at UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) finds.

The common cold comes for us all—often more than once a year. And there is no way to prevent it. The best you can do is take vitamin C and stay away from people with the sniffles. Now, the payment company Stripe, founded by brothers Patrick and John Collison, says it will fund a

In the northern hemisphere, the summer season is rolling in, and the heat is on the rise. For horses, these high temperatures also mean an increased risk of respiratory issues, such as recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN).

A study examining air quality and respiratory health in communities surrounding the Salton Sea in Southern California shows how environmental conditions, poor housing quality and structural inequities combine to place children at greater risk for respiratory illness.
