Lying on a hospital bed, his thorax punctured by a nine-millimeter bullet, Kent Whitaker vowed to take revenge on the person behind his family's brutal murders.

The research which was published online in the journal Thorax, found that people who ate five or more portions of fruit and vegetables every day were, respectively, 40 per cent and 34 per cent, less likely to develop COPD.

Musicians were warned Tuesday to clean their wind instruments regularly after British doctors reported that "bagpipe lung" had killed a man who inhaled fungi growing inside his pipes.

For children who have breathing difficulty during sleep, gaining weight around the middle may make things worse.

Measuring the level of nitric oxide in the breath of children whose asthma is in remission can predict the likeliness of its relapse.

Usage of household chemical products by pregnant women may increase the risk of wheezing in children.

There is an association between a higher body mass index (BMI) and symptoms of wheeze and cough in children, an association that appears to be stronger in girls than in boys.

Working as a domestic cleaner puts one at a significantly higher risk of developing asthma, as reported by Spanish researchers. Asthma, which affects over 100 million people worldwide, has been linked to cleaning work, but this study was the first to distinguish between cleaning in different environments.
