Compositions and methods to inhibit the expression and function of NAMPT for treating and preventing Pulmonary Fibrosis in a subject in need are provided. The compositions and methods are useful for the modulation of pathophysiological processes that contribute to the development and progression of ...
Pulmonary fibrosis, sometimes known as “scarring of the lung”, is the name given to a group of chronic lung diseases. Read on to discover what exactly pulmonary fibrosis is, its symptoms and the treatment options available for this chronic lung disease. There are various different causes of ...
Staging systems for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis may help healthcare professionals and researchers to define the medical condition of their patients better. Still, for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, staging systems are constantly being redefined and there are no standardized definitions for mild, moderate,...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious lung disease. When you breathe in, oxygen moves through tiny air sacs in your lungs and into your bloodstream. From there, it travels to your organs. IPF causes scar tissue to grow inside your lungs and makes it hard to breathe. It gets w...
Pulmonary Embolism:Ablood clotbreaks off from a deep vein (usually in the leg), travels into the right heart, and is pumped into the lungs. Rarely, the embolism can be a large bubble of air, or ball of fat, rather than a blood clot. ...

Pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lung) appears to increase the risk about sevenfold, and this risk is not related to smoking. Prior history of lung cancer Survivors of lung cancer have a greater risk of developing second lung cancer than the general population has of developing first lung ...
Pulmonary fibrosis (scarred and damaged lungs) Other lung diseases Sleep apnea Nicotine dependence (smoking) Performance-enhancing drugs Certain drugs stimulate the production of red blood cells, including: Anabolic steroids Blood doping (transfusion) ...
Removal of senescent cells rejuvenates lungs of aged mice. Here the authors show that elimination of senescent cells using either genetic or pharmacological means improves lung function and physical health in a mouse model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), suggesting potential therapy for treatmen...
However, up to 50% of people with underlying medical conditions died. People over 50 years old also had a similar death rate. Unfortunately, many people who eventually recovered from SARS in China suffered disabling lung scarring (pulmonary fibrosis), thinning of bones (osteoporosis), and severe...
