Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality that is both preventable and treatable.
Consideration of three different composite indices of arterial oxygenation changes during exercise does not add prognostic value to that of the 6MWD in patients with PAH.
Recent evidence highlights the importance of optimal lung development during childhood for health throughout life. Objectives: To explore the plasticity of individual lung function states during childhood.
COPD is a complex and heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. The latter may alter airway antimicrobial defense systems and therefore favor the colonization of the bronchial mucosa by potentially pathogenic microorganisms.
The European Respiratory Journal is voluntarily reviewed. We are most grateful for the hard work and dedication of all those who reviewed articles for the ERJ in 2022.
In conclusion, these observations show, for the first time to our knowledge, that being born SGA at term tracks into a shorter height in early adulthood but does not result in reduced lung function for that reduced height.
«Chronic airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are prevalent and complex conditions that often coexist in the same patient. To address this complexity in clinical practice, and to move forward toward personalized and precision…»
The objectives of this task force were to review the terminology, definition, characteristics, pathophysiology, and research priorities of CPFE and to explore whether CPFE is a syndrome.
Early diagnosis and treatment of COPD seems to be of paramount importance, and efforts are being devoted to the diagnosis of pre-COPD and COPD in young individuals…
