Blowing into a conch shell could help tackle the symptoms of sleep apnoea according to a study. It would be good to see the conch blowing approach tested on a larger scale and compared with other proven strategies.

It also has scope to increase the growth of the life sciences sector and will benefit the UK economy.

With effective implementation, the plan could lead to research investment that will save lives and significantly reduce the number of preventable A&E visits due to asthma attacks and COPD exacerbations.

Clinical trials are an essential part of medical research, looking at new ways to prevent, detect or treat disease, but the current process is slow. The plan could bring a unique competitive advantage to the country and make the UK a leader in future life sciences research.

@SciTechgovuk Data sharing is key to understanding lung condition, as well as the immense economic and health burden that they lead to. To provide the best care and advice we need connected datasets to identify individuals’ risk of lung disease and inform better healthcare management.

We welcome @SciTechgovuk's unveiling of the Life Sciences Sector Plan. We are particularly excited about the plan’s aim to focus research funding into unlocking NHS Data to find new cures and speeding up clinical trials.

Great to see Dr @JPAllinson talk about the importance of understanding early COPD. He also emphasised the strong link between social deprivation and the risk of developing COPD, as well as COPD contributing to a vicious cycle of social deprivation as an adult.

This research highlights yet again the need for urgent action to increase investment into lung research to give everyone fighting for breath a better quality of life.

This study is vital to improve our understanding of how working patterns can affect whether someone has asthma. It would also be useful to understand how the asthma risk for women who work night shifts can be reduced.

New research from Dr Robert Maidstone @OfficialUoM supported by @asthmalunguk has found that women who work night shifts are more likely to suffer with moderate or severe asthma compared to women who work in the daytime.
