TL;DR: The addition of long-term NPPV to standard treatment improves survival of patients with hypercapnic, stable COPD when NPPv is targeted to greatly reduce hypercapnia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a movement detector to measure daily activity in patients with chronic lung disease
TL;DR: It is concluded that motion detectors may provide repeatable measures of daily activity that are related to physiological impairment and improvement following treatment and appear to be complementary to estimates of exercise limitation obtained using health questionnaires.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for the diagnosis and therapy of COPD issued by Deutsche Atemwegsliga and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Pneumologie und Beatmungsmedizin
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute and Long-term Amiloride Inhalation in Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease: A Rational Approach to Cystic Fibrosis Therapy
TL;DR: Amiloride inhalation administered as a single dose or as long-term therapy is able to increase MC and CC in CF airways and that the effect of 10(-3) M amilorides inhalation on MC lasts at least 40 min.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood transfusion and lung function in chronically anemic patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: Red blood cell transfusion in anemic patients with COPD leads to a significant reduction of both the minute ventilation and the WOB, which may be associated with unloading of the respiratory muscles, but it may also result in mild hypoventilation.
