1. UK doctors begin pioneering asthma treatment – BBC News
Instead of using drugs such as steroids, a wire probe is inserted into the lungs and then heats the tissue. Currently, the procedure – called bronchial thermoplasty – is not being used anywhere else in Europe.

That destroys some of the muscle tissue which constricts during an asthma attack, making breathing difficult.
