Lung surgery, high risk for covid 19?
I had surgery for a pulmonary avm 18 months ago. I lost my mid right lung lobe. I've healed well and now work on a ward in an nhs hospital. Work have assessed me as high risk but I don't think I am and want to keep working. Am I high risk?

Am I patient zero?!
The more I hear about Coronavirus, the more I’m convinced I had it in December when I was critically ill and admitted to ITU with respiratory distress and respiratory failure.

Low-dose chest CT leaves DNA intact
The low-dose chest CT scans used in lung cancer screening do not appear to damage human DNA, according to a study appearing in the journal Radiology. The results could help allay fears that such screenings will lead to an increase in radiation-induced cancer. Low-dose CT screening for lung cancer in
