- Research analyzing 1,600 patient records shows asthma spirometry tests are 8% more reliable for each hour closer to 8:30 AM, highlighting the impact of circadian rhythms on diagnostic accuracy. - Winter testing produces significantly more accurate results than autumn testing, with patients 33% less likely to show a positive response to salbutamol during autumn months. - Findings from the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Research Institute suggest clinical guidelines may need revision to account for time-of-day and seasonal factors in asthma diagnosis.
- Royal Papworth Hospital is participating in the world's first advanced phase global trial for sarcoidosis, testing if the protein efzofitimod can reduce steroid dependence in patients. - Sarcoidosis affects approximately 7,000 people in the UK, typically younger adults in their 30s and 40s, causing granulomas to form in the lungs and potentially other organs. - The trial involves about 200 patients across Europe, North America, and Asia, aiming to improve quality of life by reducing long-term steroid side effects like weight gain, diabetes risk, and bone weakness.
