Seasonal sickness: Cold, flu or bronchitis? - KRIS Corpus Christi News Seasonal sickness: Cold, flu or bronchitis? - KRIS Corpus Christi News Posted: 12 Nov 2018 12:00 AM PST [embedded content] Whether or not you can believe it, cold and flu season already are in full swing – even though cold season typically peaks in January, while flu season is not until February. Bronchitis is an infection that becomes more widespread in colder weather and often develops from a cold, sore throat or the flu. If you're suffering with a severe cough, don't automatically write it off as flu or a winter cold. It could be bronchitis. "Bronchitis is a condition where you have inflammation of the lining of your breathing tubes that carry air to and from the lungs," said Corpus Christi Medical Center pulmonary disease specialist Dr. Chinthaka P. Bulathsinghala. The symptoms of bronchitis may be similar to the flu. "Cough is ver...

Nanoparticles wiggling through mucus may predict severe COPD - EurekAlert Nanoparticles wiggling through mucus may predict severe COPD - EurekAlert Posted: 30 Sep 2019 06:01 AM PDT In a proof-of-concept experiment, researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have successfully used microscopic man-made particles to predict the severity of patients' chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by measuring how quickly the particles move through mucus samples. The technique, say the researchers, could eventually help doctors deliver more effective treatments sooner. "If further studies verify our findings, nanoparticles could establish early which patients with COPD are more likely to need more intensive interventions to avoid adverse outcomes," says Enid Neptune, M.D. , associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who partnered with Justin Hanes, Ph.D. , and Jung Soo Suk, Ph.D. , fro...

NYPD cop recounts helping chemo patient through UN traffic - New York Post NYPD cop recounts helping chemo patient through UN traffic - New York Post Posted: 29 Sep 2019 05:59 PM PDT Sometimes you gotta break the rules to do the right thing. An NYPD cop told The Post about the moment he helped an ill young woman make a prohibited right turn so she could pierce Manhattan gridlock and make it to her chemo appointment on time. Officer Hamlet De Leon was monitoring 57th Street and 6th Avenue on Thursday — heavily congested thanks to the United Nations General Assembly — when Gabriela DeMassi, 28, and her mother got out of their car and asked the cop if there was a quicker route to Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital. At the rate the traffic was going, DeMassi –– who was undergoing her third round of treatments for lung cancer –– was doomed to miss her appointment. "If I say bad, that's an understatement. Traffic was horrific. To ge...

Allergic bronchitis is chronic and is marked by long-term coughing producing a clear or white mucus, wheezing, feeling tired, and feeling pressure in your chest. Just because we're diving into fall, doesn't mean your allergic bronchitis will go away. There are many allergens that can still cause symptoms, dust and mold included. "Well in the fall you definitely see ragweed outside, and some trees will do that, and an interesting one is leaf mold. So leaf mold, when the trees lose their leaves, and the leaves lay there, and it rains, mold grows on them, and it gets airborne," Louise Ca...
