	Blood biomarkers offer hope for early detection of interstitial lung disease UVA Health lung researchers are developing a promising approach to detecting patients at risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD), an increasingly common condition that is a leading reason for lung transplants.

	Reduced endocannabinoid-related lipids found in patients with NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease, N-ERD, is associated with measurable changes in concentrations of lipid mediators involved in inflammation and pain modulation, a new study shows.

			Asthma and multiple allergies raise the risk of failed oral food challenges Research shows asthma and multi-food allergies elevate the odds of reactions in oral food challenges, emphasizing the importance of careful patient selection.

			New advances improve cough detection in wearable health monitors Researchers have improved the ability of wearable health devices to accurately detect when a patient is coughing, making it easier to monitor chronic health conditions and predict health risks such as asthma attacks.

	Masks attenuate exposure of traffic pollutants’ adherence to red blood cells Inhaled traffic pollutants attach to red blood cells, facilitating systemic transport. Wearing FFP" masks lessens this exposure, emphasizing the protective role of masks against air pollution.

	HEPA purifiers do not fully reduce classroom viral exposure In a secondary analysis of a study of 200 classrooms, Mass General Brigham researchers found respiratory viral exposures were still high in those with HEPA purifiers, suggesting additional interventions are needed.

	Housing support programs tied to improved cancer detection among seniors A new study led by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that older adults receiving federal housing assistance were on average diagnosed at earlier stages with three common cancers-colon, breast, and non-small cell lung-compared to peer cancer patients who were not receiving assistance.
