Parental problems prevent children taking much-needed asthma medication

2012-09-04

Vienna, Austria: Parental problems and a chaotic home environment could be preventing children from taking their prescribed asthma medication. A new study, which will be presented today (3 September 2012) at the European Respiratory Society's Annual Congress in Vienna, has shown that children's asthma symptoms could be worse due to issues in their home. Non-adherence to asthma medication is a common problem, although it is not yet understood what the major barriers are for patients. In this new study, researchers have, for the first time, recorded and analysed a large ...

Improved diagnosis of lung disease: New global benchmarks

2012-09-04

Vienna, Austria: New research has established the first global benchmarks for assessing lung function across the entire life span. The lung growth charts will help healthcare professionals better understand lung disease progression and help raise awareness of lung disease, which is the world's leading cause of death. The research will be presented today (3 September 2012) at the European Respiratory Society's Annual Congress in Vienna. Lung function is measured by a spirometry test, which involves blowing out as hard and fast as possible into a device that records ...

Study finds increase in number of non-smokers being diagnosed with lung cancer

2012-09-04

Vienna, Austria: There has been an increase in the number of non-smokers being diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, according to new findings. The report, which will be presented today (4 September 2012) at the European Respiratory Society's Annual Congress in Vienna, also found an increase in the number of women being diagnosed with the condition. Little is known about risk factors that can cause lung cancer in non-smokers, although recently the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed earlier this year that exhaust fumes from diesel engines were a cause of ...

Smoking history can predict survival time in COPD

2012-09-04

Vienna, Austria: Identifying an individual's the smoking history could help doctors to predict survival time in people with COPD. A new study, which will be presented today (4 September 2012) at the European Respiratory Society's Annual Congress in Vienna, has identified that the measurement, pack–years, is a strong predictor for mortality in COPD. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a term given to a group of conditions which cause a gradual restriction of airflow which gives people difficulty breathing. The condition is largely caused by smoking, yet clinicians ...

Australian shipping emissions identified

2012-09-04

Ship engine exhaust emissions make up more than a quarter of nitrogen oxide emissions generated in the Australian region according to a recently-published study by CSIRO and the Australian Maritime College in Launceston. Nitrogen oxide is a non-greenhouse gas, unlike similarly named nitrous oxide. The remainder comes from road and air transport, energy generation, and industrial processes. Global studies indicate that shipping emissions of nitrogen oxide and sulphur contribute to the formation of photochemical smog and particles near land and in ports. The authors, Dr ...

High levels of DDT in breast milk

2012-09-04

The highest levels ever of DDT in breast milk have been measured in mothers living in malaria-stricken villages in South Africa. The values lie well over the limits set by the World Health Organization. DDT has been used for many years in South Africa, sprayed indoors to fight malaria. "To our ears, spraying DDT inside people's homes sounds absurd. But it is one of the most effective agents against malaria. And by only spraying adult mosquitoes in the vicinity of people, the risk of developing resistance in mosquitoes decreases, " says Henrik Kylin, environmental chemist ...

Bees, fruits and money

2012-09-04

Two thirds of the crops humans use for food production and the majority of wild plant species depend on pollination by insects such as bees and hover-flies. This ecosystem service, however, provided by nature to humans for free, is increasingly failing. As an example, after 3000 years of sustainable agriculture, farmers in the Chinese province Sichuan have to pollinate apple flowers themselves by using pollination sticks —brushes made of chicken feathers and cigarette filter. This is one small example of a problem occurring world-wide, including Europe. The work has been ...
