chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) has been defined by the global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (gold), as a disease state characterized by airflow limitation which is not fully reversible. copd consists of emphysema which is the destruction and inflammation of the lung alveoli. adenosine deaminase (ada, e.c.3.5.4.4) converts adenosine to inosine. there are two isoen...

Introduction: Pulmonary hyperinflation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can increase the breathing rate and reduce diaphragmatic movements by pushing the diaphragms downward and limiting their movements; this, in fact, can affect the breathing process. The purpose of this study was to compare diaphragmatic movements in COPD patients and healthy ones and to evaluate ...

In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients use extensively supplementary respiratory muscles such as trapezium and scalenes in order to facilitate ventilation. These situations cause pain restricting by the upper body mobility neck movements. This study was conducted investigate presence of individuals with COPD compare it healthy individuals. The included sixty-two COPD(COPD group...

Interleukin-6 (IL6) is encoded by the IL6 gene in human and acts as pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Recent studies established that IL6 substantially contribute in the diagnosed of systemic inflammation for the patients suffering from lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Thereof, this work aimed to investigate the prot...

Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is concomitantly present in 13% of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and negatively impacts prognosis AF (1). Nevertheless, the temporal sequence time between diagnosis each may vary individuals (2). Purpose To describe whether COPD associated with mortality both diagnosed. Methods This nationwide study assessed all 18 to 85 years...

Background: The natural course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by symptom exacerbation and quality-of-life reduction. Therefore, symptoms should be properly assessed. Some studies have demonstrated a weak correlation between cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameters in patients with COPD; however, data on Asian are lacking. We investigated the value CPE...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by slow progression and caused the inhalation of harmful particulate matter. Cigarette smoke air pollutants are primary contributing factors. Currently, pathogenesis COPD remains incompletely understood. The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway has recently emerged as critical regulator inflammation oxidative stre...

We aimed to compare the incidence, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients admitted with myocardial infarction (MI), whether ST elevation MI (STEMI) or non-ST (NSTEMI), according presence chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), identify variables associated in-hospital mortality (IHM). selected all (aged ?40 years) included in Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database (2016–...
