Obese children who do not shed their extra weight when they grow up are at a high risk of suffering from asthma, a new study warns.

A new device that purifies air helps asthma sufferers breathe better, have fewer symptoms and use less medication, researchers report.

Vitamin D deficiency is already known to raise the risk brittle bones. Its deficiency is linked to raise odds of prostate cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.

Adding more to the list, low levels of vitamin D trigger structural changes in the airway muscles of children with severe therapy-resistant asthma (STRA), making breathing extremely difficult.
