TL;DR: A large number of studies showed a significant reduction in the probability of at least one hospital admission among patients receiving self-management education compared to those receiving usual care, and there is an evident need for more large RCTs with long-term follow-up, before more conclusions can be drawn.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of self management interventions in COPD is presented, showing that self-management interventions help patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) acquire and practise the skills they need to carry out disease-specific medical regimens, guide changes in health behaviour and provide emotional support to enable patients to control their disease.

TL;DR: The aim of this annotation is to establish valid estimates of the true prevalence rates for SMR and AIMR in children of school age and to elucidate the variation in prevalence rates.

TL;DR: Total normal sperm count increases after combined zinc sulfate and folic acid treatment in both subfertile and fertile men, and this finding opens avenues of future fertility research and treatment and may affect public health.

TL;DR: This study indicates that discontinuation of FP in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is associated with a more rapid onset and higher recurrence-risk of exacerbations and a significant deterioration in aspects of Health-Related Quality of Life.
