Predictive significance of the six-minute walk distance for long-term survival in chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure [PDF]
Background: The 6-min walk distance ( 6-MWD) is a global marker of functional capacity and prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), but less explored in other chronic respiratory diseases.

Does urinary peptide content differ between COPD patients with and without inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency? [PDF]
Differentiating between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with normal (PiMM) or deficient (PiZZ) genetic variants of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is important not only for understanding the pathobiology of disease progression but also ...

Significance of the microbiome in obstructive lung disease [PDF]
The composition of the lung microbiome contributes to both health and disease, including obstructive lung disease. Because it has been estimated that over 70% of the bacterial species on body surfaces cannot be cultured by currently available techniques, traditional culture techniques are no longer the gold standard for microbial investigation ...

Phenotypes of obstructive lung disease [PDF]
AbstractRecently, there has been much emphasis on the fact that there are many different phenotypes in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this review is to investigate some aspects of phenotyping in these two diseases.Epidemiological studies show a quite different risk factor pattern in allergic and non‐allergic asthma.
