Abstract Background Inspiratory muscle training combined with positive expiratory pressure (IMT/PEP) may improve outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but evidence in exacerbation‑prone (Group E) di...

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of air pollution and urbanization on the rate of allergic rhinitis and COPD in Turkey. Allergy and COPD rates compiled from the Turkish Ministry of Health Statistical ...

Background: Chronic hypoxemia in patients with COPD is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Although arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is widely used, it does not adequately reflect systemic oxygen...

BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) continues to pose a significant global burden, which may be exacerbated by pro-inflammatory diets. This study aimed to investigate the association between the Dietar...

Introduction Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) may cause stress-induced transient acute cardiac dysfunction through myocardial stunning, in the form of exacerbation-triggered Takotsubo ...

Background Acute exacerbations (AEs) drive disease progression and healthcare burden in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although prior AE history is the strongest predictor of future events, it cannot guide...

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Breathing-Daoyin Rehabilitation Techniques (TCM-BDRT) on lung function and exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods...

To assess the effects of an exercise training program combining power-oriented resistance training (RT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on metabolic syndrome (MetS) markers in older people with COPD.

Abstract Effective respiratory therapy relies heavily on inhaler device efficiency and patient technique. While device performance is well-documented in idealized induction ports, there remains a critical lack of data in...

BackgroundPatients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have difficulty performing pulmonary rehabilitation independently. In China, resources for respiratory physicians and rehabilitation...

ObjectivesTo characterize swallowing impairment and aspiration risk in patients recovering from acute respiratory events and to identify clinical, functional, and anatomical predictors of airway invasion with a specific ...

Abstract COPD remains a major health burden worldwide, with adherence to inhaled therapy being a key determinant of treatment success. The Test of Adherence to Inhalers (TAI) is a validated tool for assessing adherence, ...

Roberto Vera-Uribe,1 Rodrigo Torres-Castro,1 Matías Otto-Yáñez2 1Department of Physical Therapy, University of Chile, Santiago, Chile; 2Health, Functionality, and Physical Activity Resear...

Abstract Heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently co-occur, complicating treatment. Concerns about respiratory complications often lead to underuse of β-blockers in this population....

Abstract Background Blood eosinophil count is an accepted biomarker for type 2 inflammation in COPD. However, the majority of COPD patients are characterized by non-type 2 inflammation. We aimed to test readily obtainabl...

Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pul...

Abstract To determine the relationship between mucus plugging and CT-derived parameters of sarcopenia in routine chest CT-scans. Patients with advanced Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COPD GOLD 3 or 4) were investigate...

BackgroundN-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a key precursor of glutathione (GSH), the lung’s principal antioxidant. First developed as a mucolytic, NAC is now recognized for broader antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodula...

Asthma is linked to increase the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the causal relationship remains uncertain due to confounding factors. Eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammation are known pathwa...

Objective The ROX index, combining oxygenation and respiratory rate, is widely used to assess respiratory failure. However, its prognostic value in critically ill patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD...
