L B Group Helps Finance Emphysema Research
The Long Beach Tuberculosis and Health Association funds support Dr. Theodore N. Finley of UC San Francisco Cardiovascular Research Institute in a Medical investigation into early detection of emphysema. Early tests use nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in blood and lungs to reveal disease before symptoms appear. Emphysema, rising in prevalence, damages small lung air sacs and can disable patients in later stages.
