Researchers are determined to find the best method of detecting
lung cancer early-so more lives can be saved. The National Lung
Screening Trial (NLST) will compare two methods of detecting lung
cancer in healthy older individuals: computed tomography (CT) and
standard chest X-ray. Right now in our country, 169,000 people are
diagnosed with the disease each year..it's the leading cause of
cancer deaths in both men and women. Current or former heavy
smokers who are between the ages of 55-74 may be eligible for
the study. Participants cannot have had any previous history of
lung cancer but patients with emphysema, bronchitis or other
smoking related conditions will be accepted.

When you are running, biking or doing some other cardio activity outdoors,
pay attention to how you breathe. Using the right techniques can help you
avoid discomfort and maximize your workout. When inhaling, breathe in
through your nose, not your mouth. The nasal passages help filter out pollen,
pollution and othe irritants; they also keep the air moist and at the right
temperature as you take it into your lungs. If you inhale through the mouth
during exercise, the air isn't filtered as well and you risk breathing in irritants
that can cause you to cough, wheeze, have shortness of breath - none of
which make for a good workout.
