Distinguishing between pre- and post-treatment in the speech of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes lung inflammation and airflow blockage leading to a variety of respiratory symptoms; it is also a leading cause of death and affects millions of individuals around the world. Patients often require treatment and hospitalisation, while no cure is currently available.

Brain Damage and Motor Cortex Impairment in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Implication of Nonrapid Eye Movement Sleep Desaturation [PDF]
Nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep desaturation may cause neuronal damage due to the withdrawal of cerebrovascular reactivity. The current study (1) assessed the prevalence of NREM sleep desaturation in nonhypoxemic patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and (2) compared a biological marker of cerebral lesion and neuromuscular ...

Cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and metabolic syndrome [PDF]
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The presence of infl ammatory markers in circulation, sputum, and broncho-alveolar fl uid suggest systemic infl ammation is one of the potential mechanisms responsible

Predicting Development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and its Risk Factor Analysis [PDF]
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an irreversible airway obstruction with a high societal burden. Although smoking is known to be the biggest risk factor, additional components need to be considered. In this study, we aim to identify COPD risk factors by applying machine learning models that integrate sociodemographic, clinical, and ...

Adversarial regression training for visualizing the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with chest x-rays [PDF]
Knowledge of what spatial elements of medical images deep learning methods use as evidence is important for model interpretability, trustiness, and validation. There is a lack of such techniques for models in regression tasks. We propose a method, called visualization for regression with a generative adversarial network (VR-GAN), for formulating ...

A Systems Engineering Approach to Modeling and Analysis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) [PDF]
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by airflow limitation. This study develops a systems engineering framework for representing important mechanistic details of COPD in a model of the cardio-respiratory system.
