''After infection of #mice with #H11N9 virus at 103 EID50 dose, the virus was able to replicate in #lung without prior #adaptation, though the replication of the virus was limited. And virus was also detected in other organs including nasal #turbinate, #brain, and #colon. This was the first detection of H11N9 virus in nervous and digestive system of mice''

"We saw this same pattern across all human #COVID lung samples," Wernig said. As with other #lung infections, the initial #COVID19 infection in the lungs kicked off an #inflammatory process. In the case of #LongCovid patients, however, the #immune dysfunction keeps going long after the virus is gone -- similar to what happens in chronic #PulmonaryFibrosis.”

Chest CT revealed persistent lung abnormalities in patients two years after #COVID19, according to a study published in Radiology. This is the first research paper with two-year follow-up data on #COVID19 lung effects.
Prospective study, n=144
CT Abnormalities:
6 mos: 54%
24 mos: 39%
Respiratory issues:

A nagging cough can hang on for weeks or months following a respiratory illness – and there is precious little you can do about it.
But while a relentless cough after a viral infection can be frustrating and worrisome, but in most cases, coughs resolve over time.

“#UniversityofSydney scientists have discovered a #protein in the #lung that blocks #SARSCoV2 infection and forms a natural protective barrier in the human body.
This protein, the leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15 (#LRRC15), is an inbuilt receptor that binds the SARS-CoV-2 virus without passing on the infection.”
Lung cancer rates have risen among nonsmokers and young women — why?
The American Lung Association reports that while lung cancer rates have risen by 79% for women over the last 44 years, they decreased by 43% for men. And for the first time in history, there are more young women than men diagnosed with lung cancer.

1/N thread - (writing a meaningful short answer required more time than a long one)
First principle for scientific papers: readability and explorability of data must have priority over aesthetic preferences. Graphic design should support the readability and clarity of the data rather than dominate it. #dataviz must aid the communication of unique, potentially complex findings among experts.

It was a great pleasure to host our department's first Research Happy Hour in 2023.
Excellent talk by Dr. Sydney Montesi about Molecular PET Imaging of Pulmonary Fibrosis.
In both men and women worldwide, lung cancer (small cell and non-small cell) is the second most common cancer. Thus, many scientists and #research organisations are working to improve #lung #cancer detection and #treatment.
Based out of Liege, a city in Belgium, DeuterOncology, is a clinical-stage drug development company working to advance in this field. Now the Belgian #startup has raised €5.65M in a Series A #funding round
#Lung #cancer is the No. 1 deadliest cancer in the world, resulting in 1.7 million deaths worldwide in 2020, killing more people than the next three deadliest cancers combined.

“Canadians diagnosed with most common #cancers are more likely to survive the disease if they detect it at an earlier stage, according to a new report from #StatisticsCanada.
It looked at cases of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Canada between 2010 and 2017, including #lung, #breast, #prostate, #colon and rectal cancer — all of which collectively make up almost half of all diagnosed cancer cases in Canada.”

ARE GAS STOVES BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH?
Why the government is considering new safety regulations.
"One of the main air pollutants commonly associated with using gas stoves is nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide exposures in homes have been associated with more severe asthma and increased use of rescue inhalers in children. This gas can also affect asthmatic adults, and it contributes to both the development and exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease." https://bit.ly/3QworUy #lung

I don't know whether this applies to anyone else in the world other than me but I've found that I suppress my cough reflex in public these days. #COVID of course and that's a problem since respiratory transmission of any virus isn't optimal but as I understand it chronic suppression of a cough can be problematic for some people; #LadyWindermereSyndrome (to coin a hashtag potentially) https://radiopaedia.org/articles/lady-windermere-syndrome?lang=us I wonder whether this is happening...

The lung disease of #COVID19 is not a conventional respiratory 'pneumonia'. It is a 'pulmonary vasculopathy' - a disease of the lung blood vessels.
#COVID19 #Lung Disease: A #Pulmonary #Vasculopathy
My new editorial about #airway #remodeling in #asthma is finally out. A surprising and fascinating aspect of #ComplexSystems behavior is that multiple mechanisms can be involved in shifting a #TippingPoint. In asthma, there are several distinct mechanisms of airway remodeling, but they converge in a combined effect of shifting the tipping point for severe asthma attacks: https://doi.org/jq7c https://atm.amegroups.com/article/view/104046/html

Many thanks to our great team at @MGHanesthesia@twitter.com @MGH_PCCM@twitter.com
CONCLUSIONS: Perfusion imaging during O2 + iNO showed a significant difference in the heterogeneity associated with the vertical gradient in perfusion, distinguishing in this small cohort study PAH subjects from controls.
