Model for estimating the population prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: cross sectional data from the Health Survey for England. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major but neglected public health problem. Currently 1.4% of the England population has a clinical diagnosis of COPD, but the true burden of the disease has not been known with certainty, as ...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – a treatable disease

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2013
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health challenge and a leading cause of death worldwide. Several risk factors have been identified, with cigarette smoking being the most important. Diagnostic assessment is based on symptoms, risk of exacerbations and results of lung function testing.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Inhaled corticosteroids versus long-acting beta2-agonists for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

, 2011
Background Long-acting beta2-agonists and inhaled corticosteroids can be used as maintenance therapy by patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These interventions are often taken together in a combination inhaler. However,

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Unraveling the Complexities of Coagulation Dysfunction in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Investigating the Interplay between Infection, Hypercapnia and Hemostatic Abnormalities

Life and Science
Objective: To understand how the acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to coagulation dysfunctions causing hemostatic abnormalities (prolonged prothrombin time, slightly longer activated partial thromboplastin time,

Serum bilirubin level is associated with exercise capacity and quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background Bilirubin has antioxidant properties against chronic respiratory diseases. However, previous studies are limited by acquisition of serum bilirubin level at one time point and its analysis with clinical parameters.
