Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is thought to result from an accelerated decline in forced expiratory volume 1 second (FEV1) over time. Yet it possible that a normal FEV1 could also lead COPD persons whose maximally attained less than population norms.We stratified participants three independent cohorts (the Framingham Offspring Cohort, the Copenhagen City Heart Study, and Lovelace Smokers Cohort) according lung function (FEV1 ≥80% or <80% of predicted value) at cohort inception...
Background: This document provides clinical recommendations for the pharmacologic treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It represents a collaborative effort on part panel expert COPD clinicians and researchers along with team methodologists under guidance American Thoracic Society.Methods: Comprehensive evidence syntheses were performed all relevant studies that addressed questions critical patient-centered outcomes agreed upon by experts. The was appraised, rated,...
There is an urgent need for consensus on what defines a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) self-management intervention. We aimed to obtain regarding the conceptual definition of COPD intervention by engaging international panel experts using Delphi technique features and additional group meeting. In each round were asked provide feedback proposed score their level agreement (1=totally disagree; 5=totally agree). The information provided was used modify next round. Thematic...

Ninety-six 96 partners were assigned randomly participate one three different 6-week programs: (a) telephone...
Self-management is of increasing importance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management. However, there confusion over what processes are involved, how the value self-management should be determined, and about research priorities. To gain more insight into agreement content programmes, outcomes, future directions COPD self-management, a group interested researchers physicians, all whom had previously published on this subject who collaborated other projects, convened workshop....

Exposure to household air pollution (HAP) from solid fuel combustion affects almost half of the world population. Adverse respiratory outcomes such as infections, impaired lung growth and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have been linked HAP exposure. Solid smoke is a heterogeneous mixture various gases particulates. Cell culture animal studies with controlled exposure conditions genetic homogeneity provide important insights into mechanisms. Impaired bacterial phagocytosis in exposed...

Background: Cancer treatment-related fatigue (CRF) is a common side effect of cancer treatment. A problem identified in most reviews CRF lack sound approaches to measurement that are congruent with the conceptualization as self-perceived state. The diversity instruments available measure and comprehensive testing several promising patients undergoing treatment provided rationale for this study. purpose article report results psychometric Objectives: aims study were determine reliability,...
Researchers are finding limitations of currently available disease-focused questionnaire tools for outcome studies in complementary and alternative medicine/integrative medicine (CAM/IM).Three substudies investigated the new one-item visual analogue Arizona Integrative Outcomes Scale (AIOS), which assesses self-rated global sense spiritual, social, mental, emotional, physical well-being over past 24 hours month. The first study tested scale's ability to discriminate unhealthy individuals (n...
