An innovative new treatment for emphysema is being tested at Temple University Hospital. Pulmonologist Gerard Criner is studying a foam intended to help those with the lung disease breathe easier. "If you could do something to lessen the air in the chest, then the lungs that remain and the breathing muscles in the chest wall work more normally," he said.
