The Lung Tx team details a rare case of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) in a 33-year-old post-lung transplant patient. This highlights why we must consider HH in cases of liver dysfunction, even without a history of multiple transfusions. #meded #lungtransplant www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Neeta Thakur, MD, was in the third year of her NIH-funded research when her funding was cut. But she took on the administration, collaborating with other researchers on a lawsuit to restore the funding and finish the research. Learn more on the ATS Breathe Easy podcast: youtu.be/vxC882wdKW

Key Takeaways: Pneumonia hits men and women differently, yet treatment gaps persist. 🫁 Researchers are using mouse models to study these sex-based disparities and find new therapeutic targets. The goal? Move beyond standard care to personalized medicine and boost survival rates. 🧬🔬
FDA 510(k) gaps & slow follow-ups leave us blind to new bronchoscopy tech. Solution?
1️⃣ VERITAS: Nav-bronch is noninferior to TTNA & safer. 2️⃣ RELIANT: Pragmatic RCTs deliver data 10x faster.
Pragmatic trials are the future for rapid, high-quality safety data. 🫁 #MedEd #PCCM

The California Department of Education funds many school districts across the state to provide comprehensive tobacco prevention education. Researchers at UC San Diego have found that this funding was associated with significantly reduced youth tobacco use rates. Credit: iStock/Daniel de la Hoz
A school-based prevention program expanded across California is showing promising results in reducing youth tobacco use. New findings from UC San Diego researchers highlight how early, evidence-based education may be helping curb vaping and tobacco use. https://bit.ly/4bCv3gI
