Muco-Obstructive Lung Diseases
New England Journal of Medicine, 2019 A spectrum of lung diseases that affect the airways, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and non–cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, can be characterized as muco-obstructive diseases. These diseases have the clinical features of cough, sputum production, and episodic exacerbations that are ...

Sleep and Obstructive Lung Diseases [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2008 Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common obstructive lung diseases affecting millions of people in the United States. As sleep disorders are also common, it is not surprising that many people with obstructive lung disease also suffer from sleep disorders. However, people with COPD and those with asthma have worse sleep quality

Diet and Obstructive Lung Diseases [PDF]
Epidemiologic Reviews, 2001 The results presented in this review suggest that the impact of nutrition on obstructive lung disease is most evident for antioxidant vitamins, particularly vitamin C and, to a lesser extent, vitamin E. By decreasing oxidant insults to the lung, antioxidants could modulate the development of chronic lung diseases and lung function decrement ...

Guanylyl cyclase activation reverses resistive breathing–induced lung injury and inflammation [PDF]
, 2015 Inspiratory resistive breathing (RB), encountered in obstructive lung diseases, induces lung injury. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is down-regulated in chronic and acute animal models of RB, such as ...

Getting it Right in Obstructive Lung Disease
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023 Chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure in obstructive lung diseases may benefit from nocturnal Home non-invasive ventilation (HNIV). It has been shown that in patients with persistence of hypercapnia after an acute episode of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation requiring mechanical ventilation, HNIV may improve the risk for new ...

Current concepts on the role of inflammation in COPD and lung cancer [PDF]
, 2009 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are leading cause of death, and both are associated with cigarette smoke exposure. It has been shown that 50–70% of patients diagnosed with lung cancer suffer from COPD, and reduced lung ...
