Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular Risk, Myocardial Injury, and Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

TL;DR: Frequent COPD exacerbations and exacerbation frequency impact cardiovascular risk and myocardial injury, and whether this is related to airway infection and inflammation, and frequent exacerbators have greater arterial stiffness than infrequent exacerbators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human rhinovirus infection during naturally occurring COPD exacerbations

TL;DR: HRV prevalence and load increased at COPD exacerbation, and resolved during recovery, and Frequent exacerbators were more likely to experience HRV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Presence of Chronic Mucus Hypersecretion across Adult Life in Relation to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Development.

TL;DR: Smoking-related CMH usually resolves following smoking cessation but the longer its duration the greater the FEV1 lost, suggesting the course of CMH across adult life may reflect the underlying course of airway disease activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationships among bacteria, upper airway, lower airway, and systemic inflammation in COPD.

TL;DR: COPD is associated with an increased nasal concentration of the neutrophil chemoattractant protein IL-8, the degree of which reflects that present in the lower airway, and a relationship between lowerAirway bacterial colonization, postnasal drip, and higher nasal bacterial load may suggest a mechanism underlying this finding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants and impact of fatigue in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: The perception of fatigue increased in patients with COPD compared to age-matched control subjects, and associated with morbidity when patients were stable and at exacerbation.
