Yale scientists are evaluating a new method to treat debilitating and deadly pulmonary fibrosis.

The American College of Physicians (ACP) Internal Medicine Award is conferred each year to a graduating medical student from Yale School of Medicine (YSM) who plans to enter an internal medicine residency in Connecticut. YSM faculty members Barry Wu, MD, FACP, professor of medicine (geriatrics) and Nancy Angoff, MD, MPH, MEd, professor emerita of medicine (general medicine) established the award in 1999, in collaboration with faculty from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.

Wildfire smoke contains tiny particles that can travel deep into the body and wreak havoc, particularly on the respiratory and cardiac systems, says Carrie Redlich, a pulmonologist and occupational environmental medicine physician at the Yale School of Medicine, who wasn’t involved in the exposure analysis. There’s still a lot that doctors don’t know about the impacts of wildfire smoke, however. Much of the research is based on general air pollution, and it’s difficult to tease apart the role smoke played in any given health outcome, Redlich says.

New research suggests that people with asthma suffered less severe infections and mortality than those without the lung disease.

Stephen Baldassarri, MD, MHS, assistant professor of medicine (pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine), discusses the basics of e-cigarettes, how e-cigarettes compare to conventional cigarettes, and the future of vaping and smoking.

During her Yale School of Medicine fellowships in gastroenterology and transplant hepatology, Anahita Rabiee, MD, MHS, instructor of medicine (digestive diseases), saw a lot of men and women admitted with alcohol-associated hepatitis—the most severe form of alcohol-related liver disease—at Yale New Haven Hospital. At the time, she couldn’t help noticing that women with this condition tended to have worse outcomes than men.
