The lung has a far greater external surface area (almost 70 m 2 ) and encounters more of the external environment (about 9000 L of air daily) than any other organ. As a result, the lung is both a common target for environmental disease and an important point of entry for pollutants ...
Interstitial lung disease includes a number of lung disorders, most of which cause progressive scarring of lung tissue. The scarring eventually impairs breathing and reduces the amount of oxygen getting into the blood. Long-term exposure to hazardous materials, such as asbestos, radiation therapy to...

This is a sign of lung diseases, namely bronchitis, pneumonia and asthma. It is also the symptom of lung cancer. Overproduction of mucus: It is okay to cough up sputum or mucus when you are suffering from a normal cough and cold or flu. Mucus is a natural way to expel bad things ...
Diseases and Associated Conditions Lung Cancer:There are three types of this lung cancer, non-small cell, small cell, and lung carcinoid tumor. These three vary in their rate of growth of the cancerous cells, requiring different treatment options. The non-small cell type is the most commonly...
Heart valve problems.The mitral valve and aortic valve control blood flow into and out of the left side of the heart, respectively. Diseases to these valves that prevent them from opening wide enough (stenosis), closing completely (insufficiency), or narrowing, allow blood and pressure to build...

Cell fate decisions are critical to ensure proper organ development during embryogenesis and homeostasis in adult organisms. Accordingly, defects in signaling pathways regulating cell fate are associated with developmental disorders and diseases such as cancer. The Notch signaling pathway serves as a paradi...
Lambda-cyhalothrin (LTC) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide for agricultural and public health applications. This study was to determine the pathological alterations of LTC in lungs, which has not previously been studied, and the ameliorating effects of plant extracts (ginseng and garlic) on the ...
