Hand, foot and mouth disease afflicting children hyped up as 'tomato flu'

Leading clinicians and medical researchers in India say they are aghast at the media reports that portray hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) — a common, relatively mild, viral infection afflicting children — as caused by a new virus responsible for what is dubbed as 'tomato flu'.

Bronchodilators do little to help people without COPD but have smoking-related respiratory symptoms

Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health have found that dual bronchodilators - long-lasting inhalers that relax the airways and make it easier to breathe - do little to help people who do not have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but who do have respiratory symptoms and a history of smoking.

Study investigates the effect of vitamin D and fish oil on croup

Babies and children under three years old are less likely to develop croup if their mothers took fish oil and vitamin D supplements during pregnancy, according to new results from a clinical trial. The findings are from a randomised controlled trial – the 'gold standard' for medical research – that will be presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress in Barcelona, Spain. It is the first large study of its kind to investigate the effects of vitamin D and fish oil on croup.
