COPD: To Be or Not to Be, That is the Question
The American Journal of Medicine, 2019 As our knowledge on the natural history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) progresses, a conceptual model simply based on an accelerated decline of lung function in adult life in response to smoking has become inadequate to capture the complexity of this disease, and increasing attention is being given to possible contributions from events

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Biologic treatments were introduced for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in 2019. Treatment algorithms for medically refractory CRSwNP remain open, with patients choosing among surgery, biologics, or both. Real‐world utilization of surgery and biologics remains incompletely characterized.

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2010 The paper by Inal-Ince and colleagues (pag. 162-167) examines fatigue in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relating it to multi dimensional in- dices of overall disease severity, BODE and SAFE. It is the selection of these indices that will be examined in this Editorial.
