An Atlas of S. Pneumoniae and Host Gene Expression During Colonization and Disease

The bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae colonizes the nasopharynx and can cause pneumonia. Then, it can spread to the bloodstream and cause organ damage. To understand how this pathogen adapts to ...

Scientists Shed New Light on How Lung Bacteria Defend Against Pneumonia

New insight on how bacteria in the lungs protect against invading pathogens has been ...

T-Cell Abnormalities in Severe COVID-19 Cases

Researchers performed a genetic analysis of T cells from lung tissue of COVID-19 patients. They found abnormalities that resulted in T cell overreaction that may cause severe ...

Vaccines Against Respiratory Infections Linked to Fewer Heart Failure Deaths

Influenza and pneumonia vaccinations are associated with fewer hospital deaths in patients with heart failure. That's the result of a study in nearly 3 million Americans. One out of five ...

Flu, Pneumonia Vaccinations Tied to Lower Risk of Alzheimer's Dementia

Flu (influenza) and pneumonia vaccinations are associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to new ...

CT of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Versus CT of Influenza Virus Pneumonia

A new article investigating the differences in CT findings between coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia and influenza virus pneumonia found that most lesions from COVID-19 were located in the ...

Osteoporosis Treatment May Also Protect Against Pneumonia

A recent study found that nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) such as alendronate, which are widely used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, are linked with lower risks of pneumonia and of ...

To Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance, Vaccinate the World's Kids

Childhood vaccination may be a powerful tool in the fight against antimicrobial resistance in low- and middle-income countries, finds a new analysis. The study found that immunization with two common ...

New CT Scoring Criteria for Timely Diagnosis, Treatment of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)

Updated CT scoring criteria that considers lobe involvement, as well as changes in CT findings (i.e., ground-glass opacity, crazy-paving pattern, and consolidation), could quantitatively and ...

Infections Still Responsible for 1 in 5 Childhood Deaths in England and Wales: 2013-2015

Infections are still responsible for one in five childhood deaths in England and Wales, with respiratory infections topping the league table of known causes, reveals an analysis of the most up to ...

Chest CT Findings in Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pneumonia

New research on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a multi-center study (n=101) of the relationship between chest CT findings and the clinical conditions of COVID-19 pneumonia -- which determined ...

No Benefit Found in Using Broad-Spectrum Antibiotics as Initial Pneumonia Treatment

Doctors who use drugs that target antibiotic-resistant bacteria as a first-line defense against pneumonia should probably reconsider this approach, according to a new study of more than 88,000 ...

Pneumonia Recovery Reprograms Immune Cells of the Lung

Researchers have determined that after lungs recover from infection, alveolar macrophages (immune cells that live in the lungs and help protect the lungs against infection) are different in multiple ...

Exposure to Diesel Exhaust Particles Linked to Pneumococcal Disease Susceptibility

A new study shows that exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) can increase an individual's susceptibility to pneumococcal ...

Removing Body Clock Gene Protects Mice Against Pneumonia

This is the first time a clock gene has been found to affect resistance to bacterial pneumonia, a fatal disease responsible for 5% of all deaths in the UK each ...

Vaccine Reduces Likelihood of Severe Pneumonia

A new study has found severe pneumonia decreases by 35 per cent in children who receive a vaccine against a pneumonia-causing ...

Low Blood Oxygen Strongly Increases Sick Children's Risk of Death

Low blood oxygen is more common in sick children than previously thought, and strongly increases children's risk of death, Australian-led research has ...

Cheap, Quick Test Identifies Pneumonia Patients at Risk of Respiratory Failure or Sepsis

Researchers have now identified specific fragments of genetic material that play a role in the development of respiratory failure and sepsis in pneumonia patients. The findings could enable doctors ...

AI System Accurately Detects Key Findings in Chest X-Rays of Pneumonia Patients Within 10 Seconds

From 20 minutes or more to 10 seconds. Researchers from Intermountain Healthcare and Stanford University say 10 seconds is about how quickly a new system they studied that utilizes artificial ...

Unravelling an Alternative Mechanism of Airway Mucosal Immunity

Researchers have identified two key proteins, ASC and NLRP3, in the maintenance of the innate immune homeostasis in the airway. These proteins do so by a caspase-1-independent mechanism, suggesting ...
